      This looks normal to me. The test ride bike as well as my unicorn 160 behaved the same.

        It's pretty much normal.
        In my Hornet. When I am at higher gear and higher speed when I leave accelerator, it takes some time to go back to idle speed. Also, when engine is hot on stopping on red light, my idle RPM get stay at 1.8K rpm for 30sec and then goes to 1.4K.
        I don't see any abnormal behavior here.

              Thanks Buddy. Same happens with my bike.

              Only my bike doesn't do 105+ easily nowadays. Mainly because oil has been used for 2500+ km now...

              I'll switch to FS soon

                      It shouldn't void warranty I have installed Root wind tone horn just 1 horn not the pare as the battery is not very powerful. I have got my engine repaired under warranty and no1 raised any questions.
