    Didn't realise that there were two variants. The emporium here in BBSR sells only the Pilot Sporty. I've seen some people use it in P220. Thanks for pointing it out though.

    Planning on getting a new one tomorrow. Any recommendations on which tyre to get? Can I get it replaced at the service center?
    Get the MRF REVZ M - TL. I think those are ones used on Gixxer. Stock tyres I mean. They offer enough traction and roadgrip than what I've seen. Or you can spend some more cash and go for the Michelin Pilot TL.

    Took it to the service centre today, the issue was happening due to sulphur accumulation in the key wiring connections. The SVC guy cleaned it and now it is running fine.

    Thanks.

    Hello guys, facing a strange issue. Had cleaned my bike last week at home. Now all of a sudden the bike does not power on instantly, have to rotate the key 2 to 3 times then the bike powers on. Also while riding yesterday, the bike powered off suddenly and accelerator stopped responding, then after 2 attempts of switching off and switching on the power came back on. After that it was fine. This is happening once or twice daily. Anyone else ever faced this issue?? How was it fixed??

    P. S: I own a sf fi abs model.

    I replaced mine on 6th March 2018 with Amaron AP-BTZ-4L. Seems its a 4 Ah one.

    MY March 2015, run almost 15K+. Cost about 800 bucks.

    Hope this helps.

    Oh and one more thing. Got the bike on Tuesday and rains started here. The bike is currently parked in the partially covered zone and prone to getting wet from the drizzle. Any suggestions for good quality bike covers which don't damage the paint in the long run? Online or offline stores (Chennai)

    Thanks ! Any cost estimate ?

    Picked up my bike today post registration! Blue with Abs. Like I mentioned before, am an amateur when it comes to geared vehicles!

    Drove it home. Beautiful machine. The gear shift indicator is a bit godsend. Two things I noticed...

    1. Due to the AHO standard, the headlight is always on but the headlamp surface gets fairly warm. Is that normal?
    2. I'm used to a scooter which had a beeping sound for left and right indicators. Is it possible to get it installed for the Gixxer?

    Thanks Mozzard for your PDI instructions. Everything seems in place. For now!

I tried 100 KMPH runs 5 or 6 times and no issues with the chain. One thing though the chain is frequently getting loose.
    Somehow the stock front sprocket gets hooked very easily despite the regular cleaning and lubing. I too changed to a P150 front and there's hardly any wear in 6000kms. I'm not sure, but the loosening thing might be due to removal of the O-rings.
