    Can there be any other reason
    Get the spark plug and the connector checked before you move to investigate water seepage into the tank.

      So 4000 km/6 months down the line, I can safely say I am extremely happy with my purchase decision, something I do not say as often. It gives me the maximum smile per mile of all the bikes I have owned so far

      Now coming to niggles, most of them are really not a big deal and I have gotten used to them - seat, foot pegs, RVM, not a big deal; However, the biggest niggle for me is the tire puncture issue. However inevitable it is, but man is it frustrating . In the 6 months of ownership I have suffered 3 punctures in the rear tire. Also these punctures happened at 3 different locations (Noida, Ghitorni and Gurgaon) which rules out the possibility that someone did something. Although I must say that the RSA has been extremely helpful in rescuing me out of the misery but the unnecessary waiting and the fear of a new puncture every time I take the bike out, is a major roadblock to an otherwise satisfying experience. I have to bail out of group rides because I don't want my riding buddies to be stuck with me waiting for RSA to arrive.

      To this I have written to RE to check what this issue might be, poor tire quality perhaps. Let's see what comes. Anyone else facing this?

        You can use liquid sealant in your tyre to avoid puncture.

          The turning off issue happened again when I gave my bike a wash today after cleaning the ignition switch , I think water and moisture are entering in the tank
          Can there be any other reason
          Seems like water playing with the electrical /switch gears, check the plug connectors as told by another member. Just take of both the connectors and fix them back.
          Check the fuel tank in last, plugs connections , switch gear then tank.
          Also check fuel tank cap rubber gasket.

            I have read mixed reviews about them. Do you use them? If so, how is your experience? Do they really save you and do you face any wobbling?

              Works on center tread of tyres and only up to max 3mm of punctures , 4mm is claimed. And it can lead to or infact actually cause slight imbalance in the wheel. You can not balance the wheel with sealant in. Tested it on balancing machine at my friend's shop.

                Any idea why My bike won't start?
                I was out for a week and when I tried to start the bike nothing happens. Actually when I key in nothing comes up in the dial... Anyone faced this issue?
                Called up RSA and expecting a call from the technician.

                  Dead battery is the most likely cause.
                  And if u have rat problem then check the wires under the seat and near battery compartment.

                      Yes dead battery is possible , now days batteries works like this sometimes it retain the charge and sometimes not.
                      Keep us updated.

                                The issue was with the key set assembly. It has been changed now.
