    I think the handle is so loose! Whenever I turn it forcibly in standstill position I feel that wheel is dancing..!! (Don't know how to explain [emoji14])

      If handle is not literally loose then check the cone set and shock absorbers.

          I think i understood what you mean, I have a simillar issue with an older TVS Victor GLX which also runs spoked wheels like RE bike and i was told by a local tyre mechanic to get the wheel alignment and balance checked anywhere. On a personal note i think the issue has something to do with the axle. but get it to your trusted mechanic/tyre/whel guy and see if he can help you get started on a fault finding.

He is not able to find out the cause for it.. He has even checked the wheel alignment and tightened the fork nuts and bolts.. But only for 20days it was fine and again the problem started to wobble again! I drove it for a while and I suspect the fork is very loose! So please throw some light on this brothers..!!
                I know a lot of people have already answered this but let me pitch in too. I've seen this happening when you find the spokes missing or loose on either of the tyres. You might want to look into that direction as well.

                Thanks.

                  Congrats first and fore most.

                  Dont make your bike too fancy, get the basic ones alone installed, Crash guard and Back rest if you travel with pillion most of the times. Handrail on the right side of the bike, if you wish to take your mom, she can grab on to that for additional support.

                      I found that the bolts have become loose due to the vibrations! And it's becoming loose very often even after tightening it..!! Have to check it with a good mechanic...

                      Cheers!

                        RE helmet are fake AGVs afaik. So, IMO, dont buy those, go for other brands, If you are going to spend 5k on a helmet, make sure you get a legit one. Dont just go for the brand since you are going to ride a RE. Likewise for the gloves, you have good street style gloves available in Spartan, Cramster for under 3k. I am not sure about the pricing of the RE gloves.

                        But if your intention is to use it daily, I would recommend you to take a less pricey one since you might need replacing sooner if you are going to use it daily.

                        Helmets, Try SOL, MT. They are better. But if you want a open faced from RE (IMO, dont go for open faced helmets, since your jaw will be exposed and prone to any debris or stones hitting you at faster pace).

                              3. And how to do drive chain tight in TB 350 (2016) as the parts(pivotal points on the LH side) are different from other bikes - need help
                              P.S - I don't care if the warranty gets void .
                              Thanking you in advance (anyone) who replies me.

                                Congratulation on you booking . Keep within the speed limits as per the manual instruction . This is my personal question - How will you understand that the fuel is empty ? or not because classic does not have fuel meter.

                                And how come in Chennai the waiting period is 1 month in kolkata I got it within 9 days and that too the bike is transported from Chennai itself . The MGD on the engine was 1st Nov 2016 12:39PM .

                                In my opinion go for LS2 which is within budget of 5-7k and you can get it from Amazon too . Its your choice but please go for full face helmets of a reputed brand . But dont go for Motocross helmets as the wind deflection and the stability will hamper . It happened with me so ...

                                I have shortlisted this items ..
                                Go for gloves and helmet . Buy RE Gloves and helmet as you can give it to you pillon (not the gloves). Buy a branded helmet from the market . Other things are not required as it does not goes well with the bike - it looks like OVERDONE example - Pulsar RS200 Sticker job . In case of crash guard its you choice . I have not installed it - It looks out of proportion in my view , but yes it provides ample amount of protection to the engine and you leg . In case of final decision go for gloves/helmet/crash guard.
