        just need to relax sit back and enjoy the ownership. only thing you need to do mainly is follow, running in procedure properly, which you have said you are. Other than that as a general rule of thumb, spend about 10 mins in cleaning your bike, that way anything out of place, any leaks, rust spots, anything unusual, becomes easy to spot for the rider.

        the newer bikes are not that finicky and also have more warranty. so don't worry. as long as you treat your bike well, it will be good to you too!

          Red rooster is the cheapest silencer I have seen with that kind of bass in its thump. The other being khalidaro which costs approx 12k.

          That being said... WHY?? if you want your engine to run smooth and give a descent average post 5 years of its life, I would strongly suggest, stick to the stock silencer...

                  Guys need assistance !!

                  I changed my handlebar to RD350 with the crossrod.
                  Mine is a 2015 TB 350 running stock ( all mechanicals , exhaust, etc )

                  I have been experiencing crazy vibes on the rvm's post 60 kmph. The vibes are so bad that the rvm's apart from being blurred are moving out of alignment. The worst is encountered at around 70 kmph. The original bar ends were attached when the handle bar was changed.

                  Please suggest as to how this can be reduced.

                  I like the stock TB 350 rvm's ( the non-metallic ones ) for their good view range and would like to keep the same. However if there are any rvm's which would help reduce the problem can go for it.

                  In another forum someone suggested to have double bar ends attached with a long bolt. Will this solve the problem.

                  Please suggest as I am a guy who depends a lot on rvm's for safe riding and as of now its become a blind spot.

                      Well its a super task to upload an image through a smartphone on the site which never happens. Will try that later from a PC if possible.

                      Its the normal RD350 handle which is found in Karol Bagh ( black not chromed ).

                              Bro I faced this issue with my TBTS, even with stock handlebars. I then, to have a better range of visuals, installed avenger rvms. They were a direct fit (done in 2013, hence old model avenger's mirrors used) and VASTLY improved the field of vision. Moreover the vibes were only evident post 100 kmph, but these never went out of the settings I preferred, which was not the case with the stockers. I suggest just try them once, in my opinion the best replacement for TB

                                Do you have the new TB UCE or the single disc one ??? Do you still get the old Avenger rvms since the Avenger model has changed.

                                What is the cost of the Avenger rvms ??

                                I also heard the Standard rvms do not vibrate. Any thoughts on that
                                Btw the RD350 handle is supposed to be vibrating less than the stock but it seems to be the opposite
