        Great. How is it?. Though no change from previous NS, heard the cdi has been changed for AHO. The shades looks very nice compared to dual color schemes.

        Service charge depends on Tier-I and Tier-II. I paid about 450 for labor. But again, I replaced my headlight assembly along with my service, for which they charged 250/- additional. So in your case, if you are doing chain replacement with other services (oil, cleaning, etc), then 600/- seems just normal.

        Well, it's strange. I have no such things. Is this on your new NS?. If I remember correctly, the old or first gen NS owners have said that the fan continues to run with kill switch turned off. But mine is 2nd gen, the kill switch will cut off the power to the fan. Same with one of my friend who had 2nd gen. While letting the fan run a while is good as the engine cannot get sufficient heat dissipation when parked or in signal. But the fan can also drain the battery, esp if the battery is in weak state.

There's a squeaky sound from the front wheel that sounds almost exactly like a bird chirping ( too similar) I checked the front discs and there's a slight hissing noise when I rotate front wheel, is that normal? That squeak comes when I pull out the bike after a stop or when I ride at around 30 and hold clutch I can hear it. When I hit the front brakes the noise becomes continuous. So I parked the vehicle and tried to reproduce it and nada. No sound. It only come when riding in a quiet neighborhood. The service center guy said he isn't hearing and it's normal and what not. How do I tell him to fix what I cant reproduce in front of him. Damn frustrating
        I hardly suspect it to be on Disc. Usually dirt or deformed disc will produce scratching sound, which is easy to observe. However, this sound is related to the ball bearing in the wheel hub. Maybe fixing them could solve the problem. Though it isn't a major thing to worry unless it disturbs your ride. To make a notice of this to SVC, take test drive of the guy in your bike, and show the clutch-less ride.

There needs to be some free play between the pads and the disc. You can even try not using rear brakes. If it's still heating up there's no play. The disc should not heat up no matter what if not used


          thank you,
          i checked ,, at some points am seeing some friction while rotating wheel and while at 20-30 kmph am seeing disc assembly vibrates a little.

            Thanks for your comments dude. The switch was in on state.

              Yeah man, got held up. No rides, no fun... Now would want to come back... Been over a year since I moved here B'glore and clocked only 2500 KMs
              Running on Motul 7100. Good, it's keeping up well till such a long interval. Now I need to service and change oil.

                Cool Dude. Will the front disk heat up after riding some 6 to 10 kms. The front disk gets too hot. When I park the vehicle in center stand and rotate its rotating freely. What would be the problem?

                The gear shift from 1 to 2 is little tricky. 3 in 10 times I end up in N instead of 2. I change the gear in full clutch. Any adjustments to be done?

                  Is there any better option to change the sprocket and the cain set with ? What difference it would make in the performance of bike?

                    Just spoke with SVC. ₹1,550 for chain sprocket and ₹500 for labour. By better option do you mean something better than stock?

                        I was thinking about the same. But don't think there would be too much difference. After all we share almost the same parts. Will try to check sprocket setup for Duke

                          Dukes sprockets won't work. From what I can tell dukes got bigger rear sprockets than ours. You'll lose on top end but gain pickup. Won't work for me as I spend a lot of time on the highway. Will have to go higher on the rev band to attain the speeds I normal cruise on.

                          Please correct me if I'm wrong. I always get confused 😕 with this

                            Hi guys, a small query regarding sprockets.
                            What will be the effect if I change the the sprockets from stock 14/39 to 17/36?
                            Checked in gear commander and the graph curve is great,there is gain in both pickup and topspeed. Please do share your ideas. And if this is feasible please do tell where to buy these sprockets.

                              Can someone confirm where the rubber tube near the afr screw goes to? Mine is hanging out near the crank case and evrytime I start to tune the afr screw, petrol leaks from it

                                I don't think so. Sprocketing gives you an option to tweak your power either for initial pick up or top end. It can't increase both. Where will the extra Power come from to give you pick up and top speed? You either stick with stock or compromise on either of the two. Your setup won't give you any pick up
