    I am not very sure. But I think it's a 12 watt bulb. Maybe you can refer the user manual

        Yes as the manual recommendation 10W indicator lamps should be a direct fit !
        Either it's LED or Bulb type .

        And BTW my number plate lamp (5W) isn't working , Did you guys noticed that ??Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20190527_201806.jpg Views: 1 Size: 67.2 KB ID: 1966897

          YES, its not very uncommon. The Bulb on the rear number plate gets fused, IT COULD BE EASILY REPLACED BY A PARKING LIGHT BULB. The problem is getting the little nuts out from inside the tail, which can be tricky.

          As far as the turn indicator is concerned , it has a push style bulb( parking light style) which is hard to come by.
          smaller parking light bulbs can be used as alternatives but the blink rate nearly doubles due to lesser wattage of parking light bulb.

          PS. i use the parking light bulb in the rear indicator as my bulb got fused, i am not able to find the correct replacement and i think rather than replacing the whole of indicator , using JUGAAD is better way(cheaper).

            Agreed with you ,but the LED indicators can be installed hassle free ,I hope so.

              Wont a 10W LED too bright for turn signal? Otherwise use a lower watt LED but need to add some resistance in parallel to increase current draw

                Absolutely , LED INDICATORS will look better and power saver too.

                  So If the noise is minimal try living it with !!!! However changing to a new brake pads will help once the stock worns out .
                  You're absolutely right. The screeching sounds are back ! And this time even noisier than before. Don't know what to do now.

                    Just ask the ASC to do a full brake service when you go next time !

                      I think they will use a sandpaper to clean the disk

                        Not the disc, but pads. Dirt during rains usually increases and therefore the increase in squeaks.

                          Guys, having an issue in my RTR1604V. In moderate revvs say 2K-3K RPM I hear a loose metallic clatter kind of sound from engine. It is not exactly like a loose tappet kind of sound (sewing machine noise) as frequency of this is less compared to tappet noise. It kind of goes away or inaudible at higher revvs. Dont notice any lose in power or pickup but engine is a tad more strained and i feel some buzz in footpegs post 6K RPM. Total 8500 kms done and about 3000 Kms since last service/oil change. Using TVS Tru4 synthetic oil and oil level is good. Any suggestions on what to check.

                              I have the same issue. If I move the bike without starting the engine it's clearly audible

                                Could be anything from a loose mount or a pinch bolt to timing chain/cam clatter.

                                First thing I'd suggest would be to change the oil and see if the noise persists, if it is the oil that was at fault then you'd be better off with shorter drain intervals.
                                .

                                In your case I doubt its from the engine, as it sounds to be more like the drive chain making noise as everything else inside the engine isn't in motion with the engine killed.

                                This is not an issue to begin with, it is a very common occurrence.

                                Simply get a better helmet to muffle the noise or learn to ignore it.
