        No other problems yet apart from the the neutral gear indicator bug which keeps happening every now and then.

        Bhaii I too have mentioned the same issue before a week regarding this sweaky sound. I make it on 1st gear and subsequently 2nd,3rd gear on centre stand, and hold the clutch. The sweaky sound was from rear wheel or might be disc. I went to ASC,they told its due to chain, since its first wash I dint lubed it. They sprayed/lubed the chain but still the same sweaky sound persists as on of today.
        Looking forward for 1st service, but before that I may have to go for another wash. False Neutral is somewhat common now.

          Need to keep a close watch over this 'squeaky' sound [emoji52] [emoji52].

          The gear position indicator bug will probably never disappear and we will have to live with it. It's hardly an issue and won't worry too much about it.

            One more thing, again, this sweaky sound will might affect the performance too. This made engine bit-sluggish.

                They got new sensor long back. The problem has been rectified very well. Please check with the svc as they would have gotten the new part by now.

                Also, this squeaking sound! Just a general question, is this the first dual disc motorcycle you guys are using? Coz water or dust causes this common issue.

                  @ Js16:
                  Probably yes, this is my first bike with dual disc braking mechanism.

                          My first service is coming up in a couple of days.

                          Apart from changing the engine oil, what else is checked in the first service?

                          Should I ask them to lube the chain or will they do it themselves? Anything else to ask?

                            Oil change, oil filter change, lubing, tuning, wash along with the usual checks which are part of a standard service. So no worries there.

                                Updated my bike with led headlight. Lighting output is just awesome and now night riding has become more fun.. I think i just need to change the setting for upper as it is a bit down then my expectations. Rest its worth the headlight. Led light is instant brightness and not like HID where it takes time to glow fully. Now for overtaking I don't need to honk just the pass light and its done. Loving this update. Ordered it from Aliexpress for around 900 rs.

                                Also waiting for gear sensor to change under warranty from SVC. Not in stock they have ordered it.

                                Will update the photos in a while
