    Thanks for the info brother.
    I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

      get the RX100 or 135 center stand with separate pin from some random local shop..in total it costs about rs 215 MRP (164+51 for the RX100 one), but i was given at rs 185 without me asking for any discount.

      as for cleaning and lubing the chain, try to do it at about 500-800 kms interval (depending on how dirty it has got), but definitely at 1000kms interval..by 900-1000 kms the chain gets literally completely lube-free..i use motul clean and lube.

          Do you guys always turn the engine kill switch to 'ON' position before turning on the ignition ?

            I didn't used to, but after my cold starts issue I am kind of used to with putting it ON and then clicking key into ignition and hear that fuel pump prime. Dont know if it will start if I switch it ON after, may be its all in my head.

              I turn the engine kill switch to ON after turning the key to ON position. Correct me if I'm doing it wrong.

                In user manual it says to set the kill switch to on position before turning the key. If you don't do that then the fuel pump won't prime. Its harmful I guess, let experienced guys to explain.

                                Buddy it has been a year since centre stand was installed ,not a single problem so far ,we just went to svc and asked for centre stand ,they (spare part counter) gave us cstand for 500₹ and asked us to pay Labour in cash ,we said we'll do it later .meanwhile we came down to service station ,gave centre stand to mech, he took 3 min and tightened two nuts+ spring .I don't think it was a jugaad or anything ,as installation was real quick (under 3 min) and he did it like it was just tightening a nut.And then we ran away without paying for Labour.
                                R15 is now my cousin's Ride because it always lacked the power I desired for .yeah it does 140 ,its fun on corners ,looks beautiful and all ,but I'm into hooligan naked (bikes ,of course ).so right now I'm riding a p200ns.
                                I'll ask him to whatsapp me a photo of BIKE on cstand, or maybe will click one myself when I'll visit him.
                                But not for some days as he's giving CA FINAL.
                                meanwhile, another news ,a RC390 coming in family soon
