    Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

      abhiwar - your woobling seems to be fork issue as they are leaking you said . also do check for any bends in the alloy
      Puneet...the screeching noise has not stopped.....i asked the service guy to check it 2 days back...he seemed to have greased it...but the problem resurfaced yesterday....Need to take it back again..........Not getting time as i am having to work for long hours in office....

      • guys need your suggestions :-

        yesterday went to my local mech for change of engine oil ,after draining the oil he started the bike for few seconds ( without pouring new oil )

        When I shouted at him he said that it is safe as there are some amt of oil still sticks to the walls of engine inside so 100% of engine gets drained out from engine by applying this process and also Ive seen him depressing the clutch several times after starting the bike ( without pouring new oil )

        guys is it safe to start the engine witout oil for few sec or just I am damaging the engine i.e., cylinder piston etc
