Which brand? AMaron 5A?
How much and how long did ur old battery last for.

Santa

Yes it amaron 5A alpha series costed about 1100/- my bike is 2.2 years old stock battery is still good but was not able to support Twin HID setup hence changed the battery to 5A now everything is good. first change i noticed was even when all the lights are on including brake light horn is not at all feeble. there was a person one ebay.in who was selling 5A dry battery for 650 have check in car and bike section there.

There is still some brake-fade and now I am noticing it inside city confines during commutes*

The brake-pad is new and brake oil is there and is still golden in color.

I hate Yamaha for giving thin shock-absorbers, it bottoms out during hard braking, not the case with FZ/Fazer. (I don't dare braking hard on any other Motorcycle)

*bound to be as either I am accelerating or braking HARD.

I guess your bike has run more than 10k kms, right? Given you accelerate and brake hard most of the time, it's better to get your fork oil changed. That's what I did, since I ride similarly too. It solves the bottoming-out problem. If you want even more stiffness, add about 5ml or so extra oil per tube, than what's prescribed.

Did you spot this near Noida? Was it just one bike, or many of them?
Typically, bikes out for testing have a red number plate, & a TR (Test Registration) number. This bike has neither!!

Anyways, in the first pic, the tail-light looks the same as the current one. It seems like its been taped a bit though.

The exhaust end is same as the current one, but has the end cap (silver) missing. The side panel on the exhaust also looks the same here.

The tyre hugger, & all the other jazz above the rear tyre looks fugly. They've overdone it here

The alloys are new! Never seen this kind of it on any indian bike.

The split seat is definitely a welcome thing for all those people cribbing regarding its absence. For me, it makes the bike even sportier, & will now have even less takers for the pillion seat.

So overall, the visible changes are in the tyres, the seats, & the entire tail panel

Can you kindly provide the images via some other means ? Like host it somewhere or attach at xBhp ?

I would request fellow bikers to discuss anything about any upcoming Motorcycle on any other thread. The R15 ownership thread too is a good place.
Thanks
