Third service at 3k?? Thats way too early and I guess you ripped you bike during run-in ( saying with the mileage you get and vibes in handle bar) If yes then little vibes at handlebar and tank is normal. Dont expect the butter smooth ride.

Coming to the sound, its either fork bend or coneset. Check for any visible damage on fork and check for any horizontal movent in handlebar while braking. If you have any horizontal movement,take it to svc and fix it.

No bro..Not at all... I have followed the run-in religiously and until the 2nd service I didn't have any vibes or anything. It was butter freaking smooth...Everything started after 2nd service...
Actually I was caught up in office work so couldn't go on bike rides etc from last 2 months.. Fork seal is still intact.... No oil leaks there either... Dunno about cone set

Anyone????


Well there is another thing that I need your help with guys -> ...........................

Preface: My third service is due for this Friday and I have clocked 3k odd kms on odo.

Issues:
i) I wasn't satisfied with the second free service but I somehow made my peace with it. However, after a month of the service, the bike has become very rough i.e. the engine sounds very rough and that smoothness is like gone… I can literally feel the vibes at the tank and handle region… especially when I at 80 + & yeah I am getting a mileage of 32-33 max.( reserve to reserve method).
FYI: I did get my oil/oil filter changed at 2^nd service…. ( oil -> yamalube semi synthetic )

ii)10 days back an awesome cab driver stopped his car in the middle of the road and well I couldn’t stop mine and ended up hitting the car from behind. However, by that time I got my bike’s speed down to almost 20 kmph & hence there was no wear & tear to the bike (apart from some 2-3 baby scratches on the beak( in between the two headlights))… But the main problem started later-> 8 out 10 times there is an audible khat sound while braking. Has anyone else faced the same before? What could this might be?? I really hope it has nothing to do with the front assy..

Yeah one last thing-> I live in Bangalore... Which SVC to prefer for the third service??

Not the seals dude!! Check for any bends or minute crack. Try by applying front brake and pushing the handle bar down. It should go down and bounce freely without any noise. Also if there is a horizontal/forward movement in handlebar during this test,then check coneset

Ok..Will do that today itself.But I still don't understand that how will a collision of that small magnitude can result in bent forks or cone set damage.. Any pointers for the vibes?? For mileage, I thought I will ask the SVC guy to retune the bike for mileage.(if that's possible..)

i get around 35-36 kmpl and i rev it..that's fine isn't it ? i dont change my petrol station and company either..same indian oil from same bunk which is always a busy and preferred bunk around here, so i have to assume their petrol storage is alright.

thankfully, so far, i have not faced any problems with braking after my crash on saturday morning...no sound or anything...however, there's sometimes a little squealing sound (like if you forcefully rub a rubber or a dry clean hand on a steel plate or something) when i lightly pull the brake while moving it from here to there manually like for example while sitting on it and taking it out of the garage (not using throttle, just manually using legs on the ground to move it here and there)...however, while riding, no such sound at slow or any other speeds...this is probably due to the pads needing a bit of cleaning ?

146kmph

I did 147 some days back. Its pretty stable even at those speeds, isn't it?

But there is strange nature of this bike. Sometimes it just don't stop and sometimes struggles to gather speed after 115 or so. I feel it goes by the mood of the rider. Its just unbelievably fast sometimes.

Ya happens!! Depends on wind and other factors. Also try to ride it after a day break and you'll find it scaringly fast
