      1. Vibration:
      This is a typical new bike behaviour. As others mentioned, take it easy till 2500 KMS. After that, do the 1min idle/ride easy for first 1-2 kms. Once ready, Take her to 6-6.5k rpm gradually. Engine will free up within a few weeks. Gradually is the keyword here.

      2. Engine Jarring/knocking at low RPM at higher gears.
      Assume you don't have the 5 and the 6 gear. Keep within 3-4k rpm. And ride easy.

      3. Tight:
      The clutch.
      4. Tight upshift:
      Upshifts are tight
      Adjust your clutch to have 2mm free play. Adjust the angle of clutch lever based on your posture.
      Both issues will be gone.

      Smoke thing shouldn't be happening. Consult service center and sort it out.

      Your parent will blame themselves if you end up in the hospital. Even if it wasn't your fault. Listen to them.. it's best for all of you.
      And you are not missing a whole lot. It's just fast a bike which is difficult to ride in traffic.

        Hi guys
        I have ridden upto 1400km. Today I felt sudden power drop during acceleration like it cannot pull, mainly with pillion. I thought it maybe due to dry chain, so I bought motul lube and lubed it. But I am not satisfied. There is serious throttle lag.
        And also suspension way to hard. Please suggest me what to do?

          It is not because of the lube, if you are in higher gear and lower RPM, then the engine will not pull. It is not an issue, it is the behaviour.

            Did you check the tyre pressure? Last time this happened to me, I had to replace rear one because of a tyre leak.

                If some thing unwanted is visible inside the exhaust try pulling it out, if not possible or something else best bet is to visit the svc.
                Did u check the underbelly part ,is everything ok down there. Sometimes few naughty elements try to block the exhaust by putting objects into it.
                Or the sound could be of some lose bolt on the exhaust or somewhere else. Check the exhaust shield.

                  Ya I checked inside. It's clean only. Have to visit SC tomorrow. Maybe I will get ecu update, throttle response is poor especially from 1st to 2nd.
