    Yesterday I completed 7k kms on odo. I had also complained about vibration issues at around 3000kms. As suggested i changed oil to throttle FS between 1st and second service. And vibes were almost gone. I don’t know how does it relates to this particular issues.
    Till now I haven’t faced any kind of abnormal vibrations/rattling not even on footpeg. Yesterday i went on a highway drive of ~200kms. Till 80km/hr i felt no rattling.Honda guys are not so keen on solving the issues. Most of the time they assume it to be normal. You can hardly find any of enthusiastic mechanic around their workshop who can even deal with minor problems.
    I will also use throttle and update soon...., i tested 2 bikes yesterday, and they had horrible vibrations, i forgot to record their experience. And i know , still people will not believe me [emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22][emoji22]

      For me power is no issue, even with pillion and luggage it's quite powerful, only vibes are bothering nothing wrong except this.

            What I can better suggest you is, you can contact the direct Honda-india helpline rather than with nearby service centres...

                  Coming to the wobbling issue, it could be an issue with the coneset. Could also be worn tyre as you said. Inspect the tyre for uneven wear. If not, it is most probably the coneset issue.
                  Thank you for the kind response. How to inspect tyre for wear? Looks kinda normal to me. Also, Forgive me for the stupid question. I have clocked 20k kms so most probably I have to change the tyres right? Would you recommend Michelin pilot? Thanks

                    You can check tyre wear indicator as similarly mention in the picture below.

                    When the surface of tyre is almost near to that small bump then the tyre is worn out and needs replacement.
                    Above images are just for reference purpose.

                        I just can't believe how helpful everyone is here. Thank you both for the information. Yes my tyre has worn out. Which brand of tyre would you recommend?

                          Even I had a little bit of vibration problem at first..but it has smoothen out now. At least I dont have to wear boots and gloves to absorb vibration. And after carburetor was tuned the vibrations have further reduced.

                                About 3K kms. Minute vibrations are still there but not so much as to wear gears. Plus foot peg has more vibrations than handle bars.
