    I use LS2 full face helmet & I hardly hear anything when that is on. I was just parking my bike in my society's basement when I discovered that noise.
    So yesterday I rode my bike with my bro's half-face helmet. It was then when I realized that the sound is continous
    Dude are you facing any other prob? I am getting worried about this noise. Machines are not suppose to make weird noises without any reason.
    In my opinion maybe the chain is loosened up just because the chain is New and at speeds it would be hitting the swing arm,

      Agreed. Excess oil will be blown out for sure, but NS can take in a lot more oil than 1.2L. Im running with close to 1.35 lts. and its running fine. A li'l excess oil won't harm the engine.

        Hello everyone! I was planning to install a projector on my NS. It's a dual projector kit worth INR 4000 but since im buying only one, it's 2000 for me. I need a projector setup coz I find the stock light to be inadequate, no matter how much I adjust the focus. The owners who have gotten this mod done, is it worth shelling out 2k rupees on it? Or should i go for more expensive ones in case this is too cheap and unreliable? Are there any risks / complications associated with headlight modding apart from the electrical warranty getting void? Should I watch out for ballast problems / battery drain issues in the long run? Lastly are there any maintenance steps I can / should follow after installation? Please help me out as I'm prettyg inexperienced in all this.
        IMHO: Projectors are not worth the cost. They dont last the distanct/time. I Installed Projector for 2.5K; after 15 days the HID got burnt/fused. Replaced with normal HID without Projector and using for past 3 months. Now Hi beam got spoiled and low beam is ok since last week.
        Planning to revert to stock as:
        1. Not happy with my HID/Projector experience; also put a 3.5K hole in my pocket
        2. No increase in the road visibility but it certainly is an inconvenience to oncoming traffic


        May be other users/ experts can share their experiences.

          A mechanic at a probiking showroom advised me to go for a fully synthetic oil (motul) at 2800 km on the odo for the second service.I said yes.Was that wise?

            No. Not at all wise.
            FS is recommended after 10k kms.
            Stick to SS motul 5100 upto 10k kms.

              Coincidentally, today I got back the sound, in it's loudest form after I did a continuous 150 km ride. It's like the chain simply wants to break free. Today's sound had me worried for sure. In my opinion, the front sprocket is bent, so little that it's hard to make out with the naked eye but enough to cause the sound. I'm gonna go to my svc and give them a piece of my mind. Gonna get my bike back after they've found a solution to it. I hope I don't have to face a replacement. In case I've to change the chain sprocket set, do I have to pay for it or is it covered under warranty?

              And I have no other complaints from my steed, she's running beautifully!

              Thanks for your inputs mate! Is your experience one-of-a-kind or are the above mentioned problems usually associated with projector lamps? Other owners, please reply.

                How do you know they poured excess oil ? What oil levels do you see after you've put ur bike on center stand ? Wait few minutes before you check it.


                I use LS2 full face helmet & I hardly hear anything when that is on. I was just parking my bike in my society's basement when I discovered that noise.

                I'd say the kat kat sound is nothing to worry about if it isn't "too loud". When I thoroughly cleaned my chain sometime ago I also started getting some kat kat sound, but I could tell it's nothing wrong & the sound went away on it's own.
                I found best way to detect slightest issue in my bike is to ride it for awhile without helmet after midnight... around my neighborhood. When there is complete silence around you, you can clearly make out what noise is coming from what part. Also it's so much fun to ride on empty streets ha

                Don't listen to him. Go for motul 3100 or 5100. buy it yourself if they don't have it in stock.

                  I had a small crash, about 5 months before. The right side tank cowl got badly scratched. Ive been asking the SVC for months.All they say
                  is "sock not yet received". First they told it would cost around 570/- last week they told it might cost around 800/-....
                  can anyone throw light on the cost of right side tank ? Mine is a red NS.

                    sorry to hear about your bitter experience bro but that doesn't mean hid is waste of money.... Well i had a 900 bucks cheapo 6000k hid which served me for 2 years and then i sold it to my friend and its still running after 4 years... Now i have fitted a 4300k hid on my ns and it just turns night into day... I am planning a 3 hid setup for my bike now ie 1 hid in main and two h3 hid plonked in two dlaa fog lamps which i already have... And the 4300k hid have almost zero glare on oncoming traffic.... The color is close to lime yellow...

                      I checked the level in the morning. I have also checked it after riding for 15-20 mins. The engine oil indicator window is full with oil, however if I tilt the bike to left side little bit then i can see the level coming down. Hence for sure oil is in excess.

                            Are the parts which protrude in front from the tank on both sides called tank cowls? If yes, mine's mildly scratched. Asked the svcs and I still get the reply you're getting too, that stock hasn't arrived. Enquired about the price and they said they have to still confirm. Bad customer service!

                            Yes, just the hid costs 1000 bucks at the store I checked out at. But is it legal? And I thought of a projector because firstly it's legal AFAIK and secondly it looks uber cool! Now thanks to you, I'm stuck between just the hid and the entire projector setup. Kya karoon?

                                Its the bolt used to adjust chain slack. Your chain must've been looser or tighter than normal. He would've adjusted the chain and not just loosened the nut.
                                anyways...its good that there's no sound now.
