    Every single time! Almost every bike from every brand wants to do that.. But I dont give a rat's a$$ and have got used to it now I keep riding the same way I ride.

    Btw, ever heard of a tiger showing off its strength to a cat?

              Haha, actually both those cars you mentioned can do much faster speeds than 390.. but one can be faster than most indian cars though.. Anyways high speed competition on our highways is a big no-no

                The oil level thing had me worried for quite a bit too before the 1st service to the point where i would check it every single day before/after riding the bike. The oil level glass checker is the weirdest on this bike. It would have been better if they had provided a dipstick instead to eliminate confusion. The service techs will lean the bike a bit to check the level whereas the manual says that the bike oil level has to be checked with the bike straight.

                In addition to this, the manual suggests 1.6l of oil to be used in the engine (EU User Manual). However, the service slips attached in our manuals suggest 1.5l of oil to be filled during regular oil change kinda service. The assumption being that approx 100ml of oil will remain in the engine when the oil is just being drained out using the drain nut. 1.6l is to be used only during an engine overhaul.

                In your case, if there was only 1.4l drained out, its too low IMO. As AmitRavi suggests, check it a couple of times after riding and then take it back to the SVC to have it sorted out.
                Thanks Guys. I have checked it multiple times after ride and oil level has been same. I'll pour the remaining 0.5L in the engine just to be sure. And even then if level doesn't rise in oil glass window...will take it to SVC.

                            Got the Viaterra Fly GT for my Duke. The bag seems of good quality and is perfect fit for pillion seat.

                                Ya :banghead:
                                I too have the same problem
                                It started after 1000kms and the SVC is 200kms from my place thinking of sealing it, but what is there under that rubber seal for oil to leak :what:
