              you can push start it in second gear
              I doubt that. Due to the slipper clutch the ecu cuts off power when you try to push start.

                  You got it for free? Are you sure? Did you buy any accessories? It may have been included in that cost.

                          slipper clutch will not have any effect, it is there to prevent rear wheel lock up when you are decelerating suddenly using engine braking.

                            Here it costs some 600rs for two coatings in a year.

                            Another update, some stupid kids stood on the footpegs of my bike and the right one broke off. Cost me 200 bucks. Now it feels vibey. Nothing can be heard but as soon as I start the bike it vibrates. Will go to svc tomorrow to get it checked. P.S-SVC"s in pune will order a paddock stand for you for 6000 rs/-

                              My bike has fallen twice ( just a slight fall not a major one ) but both time nothing broke and regarding paddock stand you can buy it from G.A. engineering it costs much less than ktm ones and are good too. You can contact him via Facebook.

                                BTW what's special in Philips Xtreme vision. Even I'm looking for some bright whitish ligh.
                                I use philips xtreme vision, its much better than the stock. Btw, I don't think it voids warranty since its the same spec as stock wattage (55W). They replaced a part in my bike under warranty even though I have a different headlight, and also I have a dual horn too. Maybe it depends on the asc.

                                By Osram I guess you meant the Night breaker. I have used both Osram NB and Philips Extreme Vision (although it was on my old R15). I find the Philips to be a tad better than Osram NB.
