Looking forward to your comments.
And any changes/tweaks that you plan on getting done.

And again,
Thanks for your immense contribution to this thread

Done with the second service, kms on odo 5135km

- Replaced air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plug, engine oil
- Coolant topped up
- Chain cleaned, lubed and adjusted
- Checked for DTC error codes and cleared them using the diagnostic tool
- Checked the battery output and covered the terminals with battery jelly.

Did I miss out anything here?

A lot of speculation has been made over the pages here about that khat khat noise which comes from behind of the bike when a pothole is ridden over.

It was believed that may be it was due to the fender hitting the tyre hugger . I always thought whether the shocker could compress to such an extent to allow that to happen especially when relatively small potholes, even rumblers are encountered?

NikhilB was also discussing this on team BHP and I happened to read it, but could not post there as I am not a member.
Well I tried to investigate the source as the sound had become really frequent and annoying of course.
What I found was that the source was actually a loose fender eliminator. More specifically the number plate holder assembly, which is screwed to the fender. The screws could be found at the bottom of the rear . Just tighten them.
And voila, the sound is gone. It does resurface sometimes, but the frequency is nowhere near what it was before I did the tightening there. I did a high speed/low speed run on the Palm Beach road and checked if I could hear the sound when riding over the rumblers.It did not come, even with the helmet visor open.
This theory would also explain why the sound appears, them becomes more prominent and frequent after decent KMs on the odo.

......HHO Generator, Hydrogen Generator - fuel saving using HHO Hydrogen Generator

i am planning to put such product on duke but there are several question like how the system will fit in efi
and its compression ratio is also very high

so some body please help me on this.

Doga,

Sorry for the delay, I just saw your post.
Would it be possible for you to post a pic of the screw you are talking about? I'm finding it tough to visualise which one to tighten.

technology does work but not quite practical in terms of domestic personal use and effeciency.
secondly it runs on fuel cell technology...quite a new concept yet to be used on big measures....
cars have been made but yet are under advancements...few are running in places with strict emssions norms like California.
secondly it wont increase the octane no of fuel...it will just reduce the ignition delay or the pre-mixed combustion phase might get reduce which in turn will produce good combustion thus eliminating partial oxidation of fuel in combustion chamber....which is caused by high octane petrol so adding hydrogen will not reduce the chemical delay in combustion process but will make it faster....
storage is too hazardous too.....

I will have them replace the oil with Motul 3000

Did you actually repair whatever was causing those error codes, or did you just clear them?

Which motul oil are You talking about? Is that mineral or synthetic based, I don't remember seeing any other motul oil with 20w50 grade on their site.

I was trying my best to peep in to the display of the diagnostic tool, but did not get an opportunity to see the error codes. The guy was very quick, the only thing I managed to see was when he cleared all of them. Even I didn't bother to ask the guy if there was something wrong.

The alleged HHO technology isn't fuel-cell, it's introducing dissociated hydrogen and oxygen (via electrolysis) into the intake of an unmodified gasoline internal combustion engine.
