    Where is the drain bolt? Has it been tightened properly? I could see oil spilled on ground also. Did you take the bike for a spin? How did oil spill all over?

    Cheerz!!
    The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

    Headlight can be replaced, Head cannot be. Wear a helmet.

      Yes. I am constantly riding the bike. Yet to locate the oil drain bolt.

        Just checked. The oil meter shows less than half oil remaining. [emoji33]

          The engine cover on the right side (where the clutch wire is attached) is the right hand side crank case cover.
          Don't worry just tell the svc guys what I called it and use exact terminology and they will open the right part and tell them to change the packing material used between the cover and the crank case. Its like a thin paper like outline of the crank case cover which is usually blue, green, or light brown in colour. Don't let the svc guys reuse the old packing material, insist on a new one. Have the packing on the left side also checked while you're at it and also the drain bolt oil seal and washer. Cheers

            That's not a surprise after looking at the oil trails on the case.

            Can you take a picture of the crank-case from underneath, perhaps we can identify drain-bolt. However, it should be easy identify using owner's manual anyway.

                  Wow I just saw this. Get to svc fast mate. I think your crank case itself might be leaking. Let's pray its not that coz that means its a big issue.

                    That was an impulse post after putting it in the centre stand. The oil level is the same as mentioned before. More than 2/3rd.

                      Well that's a relief. That means its just the engine packing on the right side. Easily rectifiable. But do insist on new packing and don't accept any excuses from them.
                      Btw I think that bolt in the pic is meant to keep the oil filter in place but I could be wrong.

                      Cheers

                        I just hope so.

                            You may want to wipe leaked mess with waste/dry cloth before next run. You may be able to figure out the leaking source on the next run/start.

                              I finished off my first service today... And installed front guard and rear foot rest. And the complete bill came at 1515/-.
                              But after this service I feel that the front brake is slightly lagging on the initial bite.

                              Anyone else experiencing this?

                                Will do that tomorrow before going to the svc. Thanks for all the inputs.
