What's the meaning of your screenname(username)? I know it's a star, can't recall its significance.

As you wisely guessed, punarvasu is nakshatra in Hindu astrology and it represents Castor and Pollux – two stars in Gemini constellation.
What about posting the copy of my horoscope here?

could you please suggest me the necessary Post Delivery Inspections.

1. Check thoroughly for scratches and dents. Do not accept the bike with damaged parts even if they promise to replace those parts later.
2. Check the idle rpm and headlight beam focus. Ask to adjust the cold idle rpm to 900-1000 and the headlight high beam focus parallel to ground.
3. Get the tyres inflated to 25 – 33 psi.
4. Check all side panels and ensure that they are properly fitted.
5. Check the rear brake and ask to adjust it if necessary.
6. If possible, prefer the bike in which oil is not filled earlier.
7. Do not accept a bike if the speed sensor is not connected earlier.
8. Don’t forget to ask for the user’s manual.
9. Give a little money - if you like to - to the person who handover the key of the bike. It is for anything but as a token of your pleasure.
10. Get the bike at the earliest possible after it reaches the dealer.
11. Ride below 5K rpm for the first 800 kms in all gears including 6th.

Not sure but, I can see "suspected" Vishnu in this thread

Was he such a hated fellow to suspect his presence here now?

Nope on the contrary he was one of the most knowledgeable GS owner in this thread

And he is expected back into this thread in a while

So when did you purchased your GS and please try to fill in the details in the GS owner's sheet( linked with the first post of this thread)..

On another note, I will be collecting the bike from my 4th service tomorrow.
But the strange thing is the SVC mentioned it as Free service but the 4th one should be a paid one..In a hurry I couldn't notice this while giving the bike..
So will there be any problem in the future?
I might be saving few bucks since its mentioned as Free

6 services are free but are not consecutively. I cannot recollect from memory whether the 4th is free or paid. Please refer the coupon in page 11-12 of the user’s manual.

Consider changing the sparkplug too if the bike has covered 8000 kms. If ready to spend Rs. 550/- plus packing and forwarding charges, iridium plug (NGK CR7HIX) is a good option.

May be. But what we get free is the labor charges. Oil or filter is not free.

**RamboV** · 12-05-2011, 11:54 PM

When every i park my GSR after a ride of more than 30mins or so, there is a tick tick tick engine noise coming. when asked about this in the service center, they told to ignore it

what is this

Hopefully Punarvasu

BTW someone was asking for the meaning of Punarvasu.. Its direct translatio in english would be "The repeated Dweller"

Just checked 4th one is free.

OK.

I had changed the oil filter last time(I only insisted). But was surprised to see that the SVC guy said no need to replace it this time.
Also he didn't mention anything about spark plug replacement.. But this time even I was busy(some personal commitments) so couldn't cross check manual regarding these little details.. Will be doing these things once I get some free time..

BTW since my bike was in SVC for last 3 days, I was using my friend's 2005 model Discover and man after riding it, I really came to know what is meant by Vibrations

my whole body was resonating with the vibes
