        You may need to change the fork oil as well as springs in the front shocks!

        • Guys I need to replace my battery so was thinking of Amaron AP-ATX9, it is maintenance free and comes with 5 year warranty!! Have you guys tried it? I've been having lots of problems with the crappy stock battery, got it replaced twice after failing after only 10 months...

                  I usually get 44+ kmpl ,riding within city limits

                  Do you service your bike regularly?check the spark plug,You may be running rich in AF ratio

                        Thanks for the advice!

                        Will set idle RPM and switch to one of the above mentioned brands of oils. I guess that should make my ride much smoother...

                          Stick to the manufacturers specs for mileage and pickup!

                            What? every 1000 kms? service after 3000 kms, you just wasting your money on changing engine oil and other stuffs.Check the spark Plug and AFR ratio
