    The only niggle bothering me has been that my bike drifts to the ride side when i leave the handle bar. I have tried this at speeds around 60 - 70. Has anyone else faced this issue?

    Loving it.

    Yes this happens due to a faulty T-Stem. Although this shouldn't bother u at all but then if u want it fixed u can get out replaced under warranty

      I did get it checked last weekend. Went to the service station for chain cleaning and lubing.
      They fiddled around with the handle bar saying the alignment might be off. But didnt help much.

      Not much of a bother, but at slow speeds the bike keeping tugging to either sides, doesnt feel stable.

      Will ask them to check the T Stem as suggested. Thank you.

      Also, I am new to Bangalore. Know of any place I could keep up chain cleaning and lubing solution?

      I cant wait to finish the run in.

        I think your service station is in domlur near to new Shanti sagar.just near to the Honda showroom you can find one shop.they do it.
        Yes check the t stem .that's the only one which causes the problem

          I believe u meant picking up chain lube ? You can try MotoCafe in Ulsoor. I pick up my Tribocor Lube and Cleaner from there. You can give my reference. Moto Cafe - 9449734040

            congrats on your new bike.

            Regarding bike shifting to right side not sure about particular bike as i have not ridden it, in general from my experience i can say that to balance a bike without holding handle bars you need some time to get used to bike. Especially when bike is on heavier side (~200kgs), this had happened with me when i changed my bike, after riding few months i was able to control it and bike wont drift.

            PS: Its based on my experience, might not be the case with others.

                        I was just wondering if anyone has upgraded to the after-market exhaust IXIL ? If yes, how is it ?

                        Most importantly, is it really worth spending 25k for it.

                          I have not used it. But from what I heard, it does not sound great on 300 compared to stock exhaust. I also heard that it results in reduction of fuel efficiency. I have personally seen 600 with IXIL. Sounds out of the world. But yes, those riders did complain of drastic reduction in FE. But, if you are into touring, I guess such loud note may get on your nerves by end of a long haul.

                            Okay. Thanks for the reply

                            Talking about FE, what's the FE you get in city and highways ?

                              In city with Bangalore's crazy peak hour traffic, I got 23 - 24 kpl. On highways by keeping a sane cruising speed between 90-110 kph, I got 29-30 kpl.
