Put your bike on the main stand, hold the front forks sitting in front of the bike and try to pull and push. See if there is any amount of play. Sounds like loose forks or a worn out cone set.

No need to re-paint for stickers.

Thanks a lot praful

Clean the oil with kerosene or diesel, ride the bike a few more kms and if there is fresh deposit then yes, gasket leak. There are temporary solutions though, Anabond being the most famous one. Apply a layer of anabond, should plug the leak, and get the gaskets changed when you go in for the next service.

Yep, it took 45 days to reach after order as well.

Till date have run dry on fuel twice, but it was a long time back. Effects showed up now. :-/

Does a DTS-Fi give better mileage than DTSi?
What are the advantages of DTS-Fi over Carb DTSi? ( Tried to search for this, but I did not find the right answers)
If one had to buy a second hand 220F, at the same price and same condition, what would be recommended? DTS-Fi? or a Carb DTSi ?

The Fi is a great bike, Members here have taken it upto 90k and still running strong.
The Fi gives lesser mileage than the Dtsi, but that is because the Dtsi has a few better feature like bigger and better exhaust, then a big carb, and stuff like that, it is not that it's any problem with the Fi.
The Fi will have a much more crispier throttle response and will be a pleasure to ride.
And in these days would never recommend to buy an Fi, because the SVC just turns a blind eye to it, they are not eager to service that bike because they don't have the diagnostic tools required for servicing or troubleshooting if some problem was to occur, and availability of parts that are exclusive to Fi is a pain to find. Praful will be able to shed more light on this.

I would say, find a decent 220F and test ride it, get it checked with a mech and if satisfied, get it.

Glad to know that you are ok. To prevent road rash, please use gloves and jackets. Will be worth it.
And the crash guard indeed is a guardian angel.

Please stay away form mechanical ABS, no solid reviews have been noted till date and it is really a gamble. So it's your call. You wouldn't want the mechanical abs to fail and cause some nasty adventure , do you ?
