    It had reduced a bit, but after some spirited riding the tick tick sound returned back. Don't worry about it, its normal. Get it adjusted every service, you have to live with it.

    So is this a result of faulty tappets or valves springs? its kind of wired that you buy something worth a lakh and the company ask you to live with fault.. isnt there any solution to this?

      It depends on the riding style. On highway I tend to ride Hard, read 100-110kmph constantly (ofcourse with riding gear). The svc suggested that I should not rev beyond 7k which trust me any R15 owner cannot resist.

      If anyone does find a permanent solution to the tappet sound please post it.

        It depends on the tire condition. if its tired enough change it. If it ahs suffered numerous punctures, change it. You wont believe the rear rubber had more than 10 punctures. Had to invest almost the same cost of tire to mend it so changed it. also due to extensive Lavasa trips the tire had it through hard scenarios getting used up edge to edge end to end. Changed it around 13K kms, Now its almost 25K kms on the ODO still going great . tires have wear indicators in between the treads. If the rubber has reached the indicator, its time to get new pair of shoes for your bike. Varies with every rider and the road condition where you ride .
        Keep Calm and Kaam se Kaam

        To all those how-to-run-in-the-bike-oh-it's-so-confusing. Here's an advice.
        Read and follow the OWNER's Manual. Keep it simple.. Old School technique will do more good than harm your bike

          Was doing a daily check after returning home and found that there were green deposits at the middle of the engine's casing... looked a little up and found that there was a little coolant leak from a hose kindof thing that is connected to the engine? Any info on what this could be? Checked the coolant reservoir level and it was just the same (At Maximum) The leaked coolant seems to have dried already and i even tried idling the bike and revving it a little, and when the radiator kicked in, there was no leak!! Creepy though!! Anyone had a similar issue???? please do help me out!!!

                Yes it is the coolant but is it leaking or overflowing? no no, no refilling or service for the past 1.2k kms and was your problem the same??? and have you rectified it??
