          Having few kms on bike is normal but under 10kms is what I have seen. 47 seems a bit more to me !! Mine had only 1km on odo.
          Hope you have done a proper PDI , if all is well then ignore the kms.

          I think I signed Form-20 only. Unable to recollect on Form-19, sorry !!

            Mine had around 13 km on it. That was because they had to take the bike for registration to RTO. I know the distance of RTO from showroom. It comes around 13-14 km up and down. SO, that should not be a problem. You can ride if you have been given tax payment receipt till you get the number. First service was around Rs 3500.

              Mark said they do testing on the bike for 20 kms and said other testing is dont at their work shop to check if everything is ok.

                        Faced problem with my bike yesterday when I went for a 40km highway ride. I was cruising between 100-115. On the way back I suddenly started hearing a strange sound. Like that of an auto with silencer removed. Not very loud... Subtle but definitely audible. It has changed the way my bike is sounding. I got suspicious and stopped and started checking for any loose parts but couldn't find anything at all. Checked the exhaust also but couldn't find anything with naked eye. Hopped on and started riding and every time I opened the throttle the sound could be heard. The bike also started to feel a like sluggish.

                        I slowed down to 60-70 and was 2 kms away from home. The oil indicator lamp turned on red. The manual says stop riding immediately when you see this. I stopped the bike and waited for it to cool a little and then started again. The sound was still there and the oil lamp indicator was also on. Didn't go away like it usually does. Rode home slowly in 2nd gear.

                        I had checked the engine oil level before I went for the ride and it is full. It is still full. There are no leaks..... nothing. Was on the highway and I'm pretty sure I didn't land on any stone, bump, pothole.... Strange! I do check the engine oil level every time before I start riding and the bike was only serviced on 11 July.

                        Called our beloved DSK Benelli and arranged for a pick up. The technician is away so they will pick up the bike on Wednesday. Not sure what they meant by "pick-up" because the bike doesn't look safe to ride now.

                        Let's see what unfolds.

                          Hope it's nothing major ...

                          I noticed a new sound on my bike since the last two days... did some long runs on highways ... was able to hear it as traffic was less.

                          Issue 1 :

                          I noticed that when ever i pick up speed after slowing down, there was this metallic sound around 3-4K RPM. Just for a moment ... Took me a while to understand that it happened because I was actually in the 4th gear and the chain was kind of vibrating on load then ... Not sure if that is the issue ... I started going down to 3rd and the i have not noticed the sound since then. Going for 1st Service tomorrow. Will check and tell.

                          Issue 2 :

                          Since the last week or so ... during a cold start putting the bike in neutral while the engine is running is a pain. Daily I start the bike. Keep in idle for at least a minute and ride out of my gate. I try to put it in neutral to keep the engine running while i close the gate. The gear feels very heavy and doesn't slot into neutral.
                          But as soon as i ride it for some time ... the issue is resolved and it smoothly falls into place ... Need to get that also checked.

                          Issue 3 :

                          Headlight Beam - The high beam is very high. It doesn't really illuminate the road. The situation is worse when i have a pillion. Need to get this adjusted.

                              Not sure though, I heard that today when I was driving to work. I was cruising at 50 kmph at 6th gear around 3k rpm. I blipped open the throttle just for a second and I could hear the chain tighten against the sprocket which make that small 'click' sound. I guess it due to the sudden tightening of the chain.

                                Customers need to kno the actual reasons for it, I don't want to take a bike which has been used for 47 Kms
                                My warranty period on the card starts from 47 Kms
                                Also there are a few changes being made to new bikes.
                                The front shock adjustment will be set to medium by default and won't work beyond few turns to make it hard and back to normal again.
                                The silencer cover is set up high so that it doesn't scrape while leaning to the right.

                                I just want to know if this guy is playing around.
