Anyone ever faced this issue? I'm suspecting a screw loose or a minor crack in the tank. Any help just to save fuel till tomorrow would help, else will store it in a bottle. Also while riding the fuel leak doesn't happen.
    Oh dear. Fuel can leak from the fuel pipes connecting to the fuel filter and the fuel pump mount points under the tank itself, which has an O ring or a cracked mount bolt thread puck. It's imperative to get them inspected by removing the fuel tank and inspecting where the leak originates from. It should be an easy fix, nothing to worry. I'd recommend not to ride the bike long, irrespective if the bike is leaking fuel or not. First thing first, get it to your nearest SVC and get it rectified.

    You never know what can happen especially with a hot engine and highly flammable fuel.

    Cheers!

    Vibration has gone down now.
    I forgot to mention this. Vibrations can be caused due to loose foundation bolts too as they over time get loose, given the tendency of the bike it's imperative that the bolts are checked periodically for the right torque.

    The vibrations that you are facing is probably due to the oil itself. Your oil is overdue for a replacement. 5500 kms for a motorcycle oil is well above what the oil can take. Change your engine oil along with oil filter, check your plug gap correct them if necessary. Clear your air filter or replace them depending on the condition, your bike should be back to normal.

    Beyond 6.5k RPM my bike vibrates a lot. The vibrations are felt mainly on the footpegs and the fuel tank. It has been this way for more than 7000kms. Change of oil has negligible reductions in the vibrations.

    On side stand if I rev it to 7000rpm then the rider footpeg starts to visibly shake/oscillate.

    Bike ODO is 42000kms and the next oil change is due, already run 5500kms on current oil.

    What are the likely causes for these vibrations?

    Acceleration of the bike from 7000RPM onwards is still good, but the pickup from 4000-6000RPM has dropped.

    That's great kundalus. The speedo unit costs 5.5k~ approximately. I'd recommend you to check for used ones, you can get it as cheap as 2k.

    Hey, could you tell me which city you are based in? Tried olx and Quikr couple of times but couldn't find used Speedo.

    Two things, check if your battery terminal lugs are secured and fastened properly, a loose connection would mean all sort of trouble. Also, it would be a good idea to check the voltage at the terminals with your engine running at 5k RPM, the measured batt voltage should be around 13.5 to 15V. Keep your observations posted.

In two days it quickly escalated to engine restarts while riding which is concerning since it happens randomly even without potholes. I also noticed the RPMs are abruptly high when clutch is pulled, and once I release it comes back to normal. When kept the bike at idling, the bike switches of for a fraction of second and the oil pressure light blinks unevenly. All this happens without any error in screen. It also randomly showed JG 1.7.4 which is battery issue but got my batter replaced just couple of weeks back.

    Haven't been able to visit SVC due to work commitments but if someone can help understand the issue it will help.

    Now would be a good time to use a multimeter to gauge whether your charging system is working as intended.

    Stick with stock, most of the 390 counterparts are using the 250s sprockets.

    if plug was the issue, it shouldn't start.
