my run-in completed!

Yes, you can surely buy them. The logo at the handlebar can be acquired by buying the handlebar plate (yes, the one which covers the coneset) and then scraping the logo from it.

Its just for 100 INR AFAIK. About the sticker, I am not sure if one can buy stickers as single, but they're available as set.

@Garry: not necessary, the logo in handlebar costs Rs.43 and can be bought seperately

UPDATE:
Now my ride's ODO reading is 1024 Kms, so officially completed the run-in

Took the bike for a highway ride this weekend and pushed her to higher RPMs gradually.. The bike seems to have a 'barrier' b/w 4k-5k rpms where it vibrates and gives the impression it's straining. But once you twist the throttle and go beyond 5k, it pulls like a rocket and vibes are almost gone! Top speed as a result is now 90.. Will surely push the envelope slowly..

Loving the exhaust note(music), throttle response and everything!

You can get the sticker alone for Rs. 45.

These smaller things 're hard to get from the showrooms. I had to wait for long to acquire one and within few months, it was stolen again!

You can go for carb cleaning either at svc if you trust them or a good mech. at the same time check for free wheel movement.

run in each gear with engine braking and the vibes are sure to reduce even more

Thanks for the reply bro

Is carb cleaning necessary,when it is required

I fear that if it would screw the carb tuning

the problem with the rear brakes seems to be common with all ABS RTR's

I am still trying out to figure the problem. Mine has clocked 5000kms and from the last few days this HORN problem has arrived again

If you can find a good mech or if just read up some basic knowledge then its not too difficult. IMO carb / air filter cleaning is the most basic remedial stage for lagging pik up.

Show it to SVC. Wheels should be free moving. @ the nosie, try getting the brakes cleaned.

**shiwaan** · 10-20-2011, 05:33 PM

Not just the ABS, its common to all RTRs because of the roto-petal discs which being so bite-ful, "bites" the dust inside too

Anyways, nothing to worry about. Just get the brake pads cleaned, i.e., get them scratched with a sand paper so that the dust particles get removed.

Gave my bike for first service today @ Anton TVS, Trivandrum..
ODO reading - 769 kms
No major issues encountered other than

Jerking of handle bar while applying front brakes and taking potholes (possibly cone set screw loose issue)
Kick start taking too much time during mornings.

Reported both these issues to svc guys.. Waiting to see the results after servicing.
