    Just a guess. Maybe chain slack becomes different under load. Or some panel at the back has come loose.

      Due to emergency circumstances I changed the rear Tyre to 140/60. Will it affect bike's handling or any issue may arise coz of less thick tyre? Please let me know

        It might just improve handling, but would be bad for off-roads. The tyre profile is less, meaning a sharper handling.

              Yes bro tyre was 17k km used. Was planning to change at 20k. Yesterday went to hogenakkal and while coming back tyre had worn completely which I didn't notice. Then bike started to wobble, I slowed down and tyre went kaput. Luckily town was just 3km away and few bikers helped me out. I had no option to choose, so got mrf rev z _y of fz150 spec

                What was the tyre pressure you had? Did it had any cracks?

                  Tyre pressure was 30. Tyre had worn at the centre completely. No cracks.

                    Do you offroad a lot? 17k and completely worn out, sounds new to me.
                    After multiple punctures, post 7000kms, my tyre loses air pressure to 10s within 2 days of filling. (Half the time I ride around with 1 digit pressure :P) Currently at 12K kms, even then, it still has more than half of the grooves/treads left.

                      My daily travel is 45 km on highway. Speed at 80 to 110. Maybe coz of more speed than in city condition, tyre worn out early. Not even a single puncture since I bought the bike. You may have got defective tyre. Try 31 psi instead of 29.

                        Hornet also uses the same tire, some owners of hornet have used for more than 25k kilometers, it's strange that your tire got worn out so fast !

                          Sometimes in off road ride or hard braking, I hear that 'tick' sound from front end.
                          Is my steering head bearing damaged?

                          Just replaced TripleT, steering head bearing and Handle 1 days ago.

                                Looks like svc guy spilled grease or something slippery on my front brake disc/pad. Now, the front braking power is reduced by like 40percent. Depressing the front brake lever hard doesn't help. It's starting to affect my hand.

                                Solutions?
