    Some rusty thing happens.
    Try to fix it from service station.
    Do not ask local person as they will try to change the console by saying the switch is damaged.
    Service Station person will do some oiling stuff. It would be absolutely fine.

        It seems, mine has got little rusted. Few days back, I had to press harder and multiple time to get it work first time.

              How many times have the front and rear tyres punctured ? Sadly this frequent puncture is a disadvantage of tubeless tyres [emoji19] .

                Puncture is nothing to do with tubeless tyres. Mostly happens because of low pressure and roads. However, if puncture has to happen it will happens.

                Also, Tubeless tyre has advantage in case of puncture. You will certainly not notice the puncture for few days.
                I have been driving tubeless tyre bikes for 7 years (35K Kms). Only two punctures I have encountered. One with current Hornet (14K ODO) and another with Hunk.

                  It seemed so to me as many complain of frequent punctures with TL tyres. Yes, if it has to happen, happens. Any reason for selling away the Hunk or is it still with you?

                      Does BS4 still have AC current for a headlight with the flickering issue? Or they changed it to DC?

                      Thanks

                            Is it possible to increase the top end speed by reducing wieght . Like removing saree guard and downsize the rear tyre to 130/70 . Was thinking of changing the tyre to Michelin Street 130/70.. one more thing... Is it a good idea of 15 front and 46 rear sprocket...(hornet has 15 front and 47 rear as stock) Will it affect torque band in gears... Hornet lacks in the top end as per my thought... Highway cruising is gud at 100 KMPH... Want to do more like 110 KMPH...

                              Dude. .... that’s a 150 cc bike
                              Your expectations are in 250 cc bike range.

                              You can try all you want, but the results will be questionable.

                              In simple terms you are asking 4 roti at the cost of one.

                              Try sprocket of 16 and 42. That should give taller gearing. Hope you understand the consequences of taller gearing. It puts more stress on final drive.

                                How about downsizing rear tyre... Will it increases / decrease my acceleration or top speed... And stability at high speed and cornering..?
