    That noisy chain issue,I think,is part of the design and nature of the chain,sir.We might be able to reduce it to a certain levels but cannot completely make it silent.I hope TVS has a much less noisy chain for the Akula RTR 310.

For about a 15 min the problem was solved but then it again starts happening, anyone knows what had happened so I could try to fix it because the showroom is far from me.
      In Neutral it clocked 7rpm and in 4th gear it needed to keep under 4k rpm.
      Sounds strange indeed.I had a problem roughly similar on my father's Old TBTS 350.But it occurs only on cold starts.etc.Try cleaning the Air Filter and cleaning+retuning the Carburetor.Check your fuel Quality and make sure its good.Also check the Fuel pipes and make sure there are no blockage.Another thing is to clean and check the spark plugs.If they arent firing correctly also that can be a problem.I hope it helps

          The dealership close to me now says that the Fi and ABS Models are coming on January 2018 They are focussing on getting the Akula RTR 310 out by this year (Which I believe,might also be delayed to January 2018).

            Most likely water in the petrol tank issue. This causes similar behaviour as stated by you.
            Drain the carb, collect the fuel in a clean container, check for water in it, if there is, you know what needs to be done.

            Cheers

              The front sprocket has been updated for the new bikes and the older bikes are being called and if they are having the noise they are changing it for foc.

                Any way to identify if we have to old sprocket or new sprocket? Is the new one the sprocket with a small rubber lining?

                Yeah I have totally made piece with the chain noise TBH. It is a good as a feature instead of a bug, lol.

                    Is there any official recall for this issue?

                      Why recall for such a small issue... If someone is getting to much noise from the chain they can go to there respective svc & get it replaced with new ones.... No big issue.

                        Actually I had reported the chain issue multiple times but each time svc guys said that the problem is common. They were not ready to change the sprocket.

                        Just wanted to check if the svc has recieved any notice to change the problematic sprocket.

                        Thanks

                          Try to get in touch with TVs officials by calling them on the number given on your bike's manual.. they are pretty good in solving the issues.

                            Recalls are made when the issues are generally catastrophic! Anyway anyone having this issue can get it replaced for free.

                              I think yeah.Not sure though.TVS Engineers should have marked them like this to differentiate from the noisier design previously.But lol,true.That chain noise has become more like a soul and nature of RTRs xD

                                No.But I have heard that TVS Service is providing these new sprockets.Looks like TVS did it quietly lol.
