    Since monsoon is around the corner..

    Please suggest how to maintain the bike.
    1) If using for daily commute in the rains what care should be taken?
    2) If wrapping it up and keeping it in the garage what needs to be done?

    Thanks
    make sure your bike is lubed appropriately, apart from it I don't think there is much to worry about. and why to wrap it up in keeping it in the garage? I was just waiting for the summer to pass.

    Great, otherwise it would have been a big head ache.

    Thanks for your views. I've ridden 2500kms till now and the feedback has disappeared somehow. The upshift from 2-3 and 3-4 were clunky but they also have smoothened out to a great extent.

    Guys, I want to buy a fender eliminator/tail tidy kit. Can anybody suggest me an online website where I can purchase it?

    If there is no bend on the rim, then just remove the tyre and fit agin. Improper seating of tyre cause this problem. This happened to me many occasions. The local puncture shop guy remove the tyre and found the location where the air is leaking. Then he took a blunt wedge and hammer( too blunt that it will never harm the tyre). Then he starter to give slight hammering using with the wedge on the tyre near the air leak location. This way the tyre seated properly and the leak stopped. The reason he gave for leaking is the puncture shall be patched with full air otherwise it leads to such leakage sometimes. He also said its common in tubeless tyre so thats why he is keeping the blunt wedge ( i dont see any other purpose for the wedge because it is too blunt, so had to believe him). Also there is another thing called tyre pasting thats what AC guy told me once for this issue and charged me 200 rupees for that.

    The usual practise is to replace the rims.

    Also check if paint is peeling off the rims. Thats another reason for the air leak.
