    mine too... rear brake seems to be having a lot more freeplay now. and there is a squeaking sound (loud enough not to be ignored) seems the front pad is hugging the disc even without applying the brake. i think its either that or the cone setting gotta show her to the SVC tom [odo >1500 Km]

    I too had this problem and eventually few days back my rear brake lever got loose
    And then I adjusted it for max braking now only braking no sound nothing

    Try this it may help

          Also no comments on the 0-60km/hr timing..
          But I feel 126 top speed is not your bikes limit...I'm having 160cc and I have done the same speed...

                thanks guys....but the 126Km/h speed is kinda big for ma bike considering ma hugeeee size....and the additional luggage she had on her pillion seat.. [on ma way home and back] :P but surely i think she can do better than that as u guys pointed out...gotta get a free stretch of road... :P

                • Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting tappets adjusted at Bridgestone TVS(Bangalore) tomorrow morning as it's the only good one near my place. So please answer a few queries of mine,
                  1. At what time should I leave my bike?
                  2. How much time are they going to take to get it done?
                  3. Cost for getting it done (approx.)?

                  If there is anything else I should be aware of, please let me know.

                          Make sure to be there by 9 otherwise they will not entertain small fixes unless you are a regular there. Not sure about cost as I get it adjusted at service. I suggest you also do the same. Leave it for a full service shouldnt cost more than 300 excluding Engine Oil.

                            Thanks. I still have one free service left. It's on August 24th. I also thought of getting it adjusted during service but I'll be going back to Mysore in 2 days or so along with bike. The head mechanic there is so obnoxious that he argues that there's no noise in spite of the noise being heard clearly.

                            After hearing what you said, I'm thinking of changing my mind. I'll visit some other SVC in Mys or try to bring it here for servicing and get it adjusted then.

                            P.S Guys, is it okay to get the chain lubricated with some generic oil for a 3 day period?
