    Thank you, Sharad.

    Heating of disk takes places while applying the brakes. Just to see if the brake pads aren't touching the wheel, put the bike on centre stand and rotate both wheels to check if they are rotating freely or not. If there is resistance from the brake pads, you will have to open the caliper and see if the piston are out or not.

    Cheerz!!
    The real beauty lies in throttle's twist!!

    Headlight can be replaced, Head cannot be. Wear a helmet.

      Thank you for a quick reply friend.

      I have completed around 650kms on my bike so far. I do feel some amount of resistance while rotating rear wheel. Showed it at ASC, they said it's normal. I will ask them to check for contact in my next visit. Right now I am leaving for a 150km spin. Let me check the magnitude of this problem.

        I was told by the service mechanic that the rear wheel will have some resistance.I think its true too because the chain has to rotate and the front sprocket has to rotate too..

              My TBird has completed 490+kms. I have already booked an appointment for first service. But, I could get appointment only for 1st Nov. I will be using my bike for a week more before service.
              So, as per running in period, can I start riding bike at 80kmph now? Or should I stick to 60kmph till first servicing?

              Stick to running in speeds as your bike still has the old oil in it. Rip only after oil change and even then control your wrist till at least 3k kms for best results.

                  Hey Guys,

                  I Planning to buy some riding gear for myself which should suit my bird also, I Currently have a leather jack (Which got screwed due to rain) & a Studds ninja helmet. I'm Planning to upgrade it to Zeus Mesh Jacket or the Spartan one. Helmet I'm planing for SOL 68S or the MT. My Budget is 6k for the Jacket & 5k for the helmet. Please post your views.

                    instead of mesh pick up textile/cordura jacket. will protect from rain + more safety then mesh + more cooler than leather.

                    helmet : loads of shops in bangalore. do window shopping. buy the one that fits your perfectly. an expensive helmet that does not fit well may be fatal than the fall itself.

                      I've tried the SOL , its actually fits perfectly but i've heard good review about the MT so thought will just check with you guys. I'll check with the Textile jacket. Will be heading to Lets Gear Up next weekend for the jacket & Helmet.
