    couldnt wait though i had to buy the whole chain-sprocket set..i would say not a major changes in gears, as serviced yesterday my gears are smooth...changes are like rpm is low in higer speeds and vibration less than before

      Obviously they will not allow as long as the company itself manufactures the oil. So I made no complaints, just got it serviced and let them change oil as they please etc. Came home, removed the TRU4 and filled up MOTUL on my own. Who is going to know when I take it back for next service?

      I expected that change on the vibes front, but am not sure if just dropping 1 tooth will suffice. Am actually trying to get a 42 teeth. Anyways if I have no option that is what I will do. Also what rear tire are u using? The stock one? Am anyways using a 100/90 instead of the stock 100/80. So I expect the gearing to be already a bit taller. So changing the sprocket will help me a bit more. Lets see...

            1st initial pickup has reduced a slight, a slight power blank in 70-80 kmph, highest speed increased more than 5 kmph, and vibration reduced because of low rpm, i did 121 with a pillion at 10K rpm...is it OK ???

            with my stock sprocket setup i got 122kmph at 9100 Rpm.....solo...
            you droopped one tooth and still your bike seem to run on higher rpm for the same speed....

              the TVS SVC near me isnt anything to write home about. I thought i could try the one a bit further down the way...but lets see. I might just end up going to castrol bike zone instead.

                Yep, on all bikes. That's the water drain hole used to drain out water that may get into the silencer and rust it off.

                            you mean to say that you expect the bike to be at different speed at a given RPM when its without a pillion?????

                                my 4 months old 3300kms done FI has a dead battery.....
                                i woke up in the morn went to the bike to warm it up,switched the ignition on,and i found the sound of the fuel pump very diff....
                                when i thumbed the starter it wasn't workin......

                                the bad part was i removed the kick the day i bought my bike,i dropped the idea of "dhakka" startin it as i thought the fuel pump may be workin with DC supply only....

                                so i finally put back the kick and i started it, it got started in first kick and Whoa!!!!! with the "zoonk" of the alternator the battery started workin again.....but when i switched the bike off and tried the thumb it.......it was same old story.....

                                hope TVS guys replace it under warranty cuz there's no make in the battery as TVS put a big black lable in the place of the name..

                                thankfully i got my dead battery replaced by a new one under warranty.....
