      You need to zeroed down to the point from where it is coming.
      Normally its front number plate, loose side fairing, battery cover etc.
      Even tight or dry chain causes more than normal vibrations.

        After so many days did very sane driving just like matured. [emoji6] [emoji6]

        Bike retured avg 25 kmpl ( 185kms/7.2 ltr), it was heavy rain on nh4. bike is performing very well.
        Easily taking bike to 4th marks on tire on turns.

        Even after 2 years, driving the RC is very delightful and bike surprises every time with performance.

          Thanks for the reply!
          I kept the bike running idle for few min and noticed the vibrations were from that DRL's part.
          Any solutions people?!
          Has anyone faced this before?

            EBC Front Brake pads for RC390.

            Bought 1 set (FA606HH) and EBC was kind enough to send the organic pads and EPFA606 for some tests and feedback. Will post my reviews soon. Probably a video.

            Click image for larger version Name: IMG-20160923-WA0019.jpg Views: 1 Size: 96.4 KB ID: 1943128

            Have been using the FA606HH pads for over 3 months (2000+ Kms) and i should say it took care of the spongy feel of stock brake by at least 80% + good lever feel better stopping power and confidence inspiring.

            FA606 - Organic front brake pads by EBC - Similar to stock but hopefully better - Yet to test - Guess not available in India
            FA606HH - HH rating means good amount of friction generating capability when pads are cold or hot. Can be used for street as well as track days. Available in India and currently using it.
            EPFA606HH - Similar to FA606HH but has higher friction and heat cycle than FA606HH. Guess not available in India and yet to test it.

                    Some screws might be loose. Check with svc if you didn't found it.

Coolant top up, brake fluid top up, chain tightening and cleaning, right side projector clip changed, all nuts and bolts tighten up, cleaning washing and polishing, fuel pump cleaning done, spark plug cleaning, clutch adjustment, brake pedal and gear pedal tightening, brake pads cleaning both front and rear done.

                            They remove the fuel pump (cheap tricks) there is a small porous filter attached to the pump, they dip that filter in petrol, squeeze it, squish it, so the muck comes off the filter, they then install the filter. Gives good results.

                            Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                            The girl said, 'NO!'


                            And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                            THE END

                              Hey

                              What exactly do you mean by Clutch adjustment ?
                              I remember you posting your bike has done very less kilometres.
                              First I was Scared But then We Made a Deal

                                LOL, do they really do such cleaning!? Never seen them touch the fuel pump(unless its broken). I was wondering if I should get the checked,but I wasn't comfortable to get the pump removed due to fears of a screw up

                                Free play adjustment, nothing else to adjust.
