    the Usual vibes at 60 can be avoided by shifting to 4th gear as i have experienced with my TB350.

    agree on the RVM. post 60-70 its just enough to figure out if there is any vehicle behind you. nothing more. and on my bike, the right RVM has more vibes than the left one. :\

    oil leaking and other stuff are unfortunate. please visit a good ASC/mech to get the issues fixed.

    sorry if this late. oil and oil filter needs to changed mandatorily. apart from that, make it a point to ask them to check the chain for slackness and clean and re-lube the chain.
    also, you could ask them to take out the spark plugs and check for soot or whiteness. look for brake and gear lever tightness.

        You will have to get it done at the ASC or a garage as it needs a different tool.

            it wont rust that easily. just make sure to wipe rain water clean with a microfibre cloth.
            dont wash regularly. wash once a month with soft water, and a mild cleaner. use car shampoo.
            wax polish when its dry. you can google wax polish videos for cars on youtube. application method with be same.

            also, for daily dusting, use damp microfiber cloth. thats all..

                Hey guys. My bike is 6 months old and has just 2k on the odo. Since first service I am noticing oil deposits near left side of the engine. i am not sure if its oil leakage. I am attaching pics for reference. Additionally one more problem I am facing is the bike during its first start of the day doesn't idle constantly until the bike is warmed up. Even after warm up if the bike is parked for half an hour the bike refuses to idle and again it has to be warmed up. I have checked idling crew. Its okay. After warm up the bike idles at 1200rpm. Kindly assist me with this regard.

                    I am sorry for the bad pictures. Just try to zoom below the barcode sticker. Its not dripping but oil is visible.

                          Please check if putting up lights on the number plate is legal. It may be considered as tampering with the high security number plate.
