      136 officially ? Who said that ?

        Can someone help me tighten steering head?? Should I remove the whole handlebar for that?? I checked and the bolt is below the handlebar and a huge round thing.. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks

          No dont touch anything. First time, go to svc and do it, tightening the cone set needs a little experience I guess.

            Take a screwdriver and hammer it against that "round thing" towards the left. Its the bolt tightner.

              ...All these trouble bcz of SVC.. during third free service yesterday,told them that there is a bit free play in forks,adjust it. Now the noob svc loosed the head so much that its shaky in every uneven surface on road and i performed the test for steering head and my handlebar just bounces back and forth Again dont wanna go to them :banghead:

                He might over tighten or over losen it and high chance for cone set to go kaput :P

                    Yes, you have to keep screw driver on the left side near the stopper and bang to the left side

                      Fine i don't want to that than on my own.. And i think the SVC loosened only the stem bolt,bcz the stem bolt cap(Black one) is missing.. Can a loose stem bolt cause the same problem?? Just wanted to know before i go to some experienced mechanic,so that i dont screw up the perfectly tightened Lower and upper ring nut of cone set :P

                        Thats good. Enquire your friends and other riders about a good local experienced mechanic and go to him. That should do the job

                            Any good R15 Mechanic at Chennai..
                            Fed up with the service centre.
                            Had a fall initially and the handle bar bent a little. not sure the bent ws in fork or T-stem or handle bar or the other but they never solved the problem.
                            Changed the whole set ( fork,t-stem,handle bar) and the bike was perfect.
                            Again i had a fall,, and the handle bar is bent.
                            Any good mechanic to rectify?

                                He's asking for it.

                                Loose steering head = shaky handlebars
                                Loose coneset = futile frontal suspension.

                                Your problem: tighten the bolt. No mechanic will have a torque wrench. Its just guess work. Either go to the ASS or DIY.
