    Low Idle rpm or loose clutch play might be causing this.

    Please state the Idle rpms of your bike, when engine is cold and when engine is warm to confirm.

      Cold RPM is at 1k rpm and hot RPM at 1100 RPM. Is this because of Loose clutch ?

        So this could be the culprit
        AFAIK the warm/hot RPM should be around ~1400 (<1600)..
        Your cold RPM is fine.
        Please check that as well

        • your bike's hot rpm is too low.....By the way i didnt get one thing.....cold rpm 1k and hot rpm 1.1k......these are not good signs....

          check the clutch adjustment.....it should have a play of few mm's.....

            Anyhow service manager assured that it will be replaced under warranty
            for that i have to leave my GS in the SVC for a week because they dont have GS front tire so service manager told me that he will send my GS front tire for an inspection then they(MRF chennai) will give a replacement.
            For this process it will take one week as the service manager said,

            Guys is this normal or do i need to search for some other way because i dont like to leave my GS with them for a week. please need your suggestion
            Did you get a puncture repaired recently? An improperly placed tube can cause wobbling. A part of the tube may be stuck in between the tyre edge and rim edge. Also, if tube neck is not aligned properly with the rim hole, it could cause folds/deformity in tube causing wobbling.

              • Guys, do we need to change the oil filter while changing the oil from mineral to synthetic....
                I had mineral first then moved to semi synth then changed oil filtere and moved to synth.....was continuing on synth until last service...

                my father took my bike to the svc and i forgot to tell him not to ask the svc guys to change the oil....and my father asked them to change the oil filter and oil......so now my GS is running on mineral oil....i brought motul full synth...so do i need to change the oil filter before putting the full synth?

                  However carefully we remove the old oil, a part of it is left inside the engine resulting mixing of oils.
                  The company recommends oil filter change in every 8000 kms but almost all of us are changing it at the time of each oil change.
                  No special effort is needed to change it and it costs Rs. 35/- only. Now decide yourself.

                    This is the third oil filter and its 1000kms old...i am asking because tomorrow being a friday my svc will be closed and on saturday i have a ride to rajmachi where the route requires high speed cruise on expressway to reach the place then we will go offroading....
                    the oil level is slightly above the low level...so i have to change the oil ASAP.....
                    So theres no harm if i dont change the oil filter at the moment(changing from 20W40 to 10W40)....?

                      Do change the filter together with the oil if it is available with you. If not, retain the old one. This retaining may not be harmful in any way.

                          Let us hope so but usually it takes 2-3 weeks to get the replacement.
