    by the way you said chain was tightened twice, was it in the service centre or by yourself ?
    In service center. I also shift gears at 2.5k rpm it may also be the cause.I also noticed that at 3.5 k rpm gear shifts like butter and efficiency is good if ridden at 4-5k rpm.

      Also, I'm having problem riding it at 2nd gear, it turns off at low speeds.

      well you have got everything now, youre a free bird now

      have any of you guys faced gear lock issue - i faced it today - due to sudden hard braking the gear shifting was lock and i cudnt shift it up or down, then i tried to move the bike with toe down like we do in traffic, and then it became normal again.

      *** P.S - The brakes are damn good , also grip and main thing is balance i didn't feel dis balanced even for a second Hornet rocks , though the locking issue came

        Yeah I too faced it if you brake suddenly in 5th gear you cannot shift to first gear.you should wait for a moment before shifting every gear. This resolves the locking.

                What mileage are you guys getting ?
                And do they clean and lube the chain at 1st service?
                Which oil did they use ??
                What was the service cost ?

                      I agree with everything you said above. Not being a pro rider, I thought the problem was with my riding style
