    Thnkz bro . Let me ask abt this to some more people and will let you know about my decision. In anyways i dont want the paint gloss to fade. Hw old is your bike and how much on odos? Which colour?

      After i wash my bike i am sure that water have entered inside the chain cover. Wil this water drain off by itself or should i do something. Chain on contact have chance to get rust. Also how frequently should i lubricate the chain?

        The water will drain itself when you put your bike in side-stand.lubing will be according to your riding conditions.

          can you elaborate more on 'riding conditions'. Since there is chain cover,dust & dirt wont be entering the chain very easily. Thnkz.

            Don't worry, just do as your routine service, nothing special required.

              See these pics, these are taken while cleaning my karizma's chain riding in city conditions.

              Before Cleaning:




              After Cleaning:



              So if you are riding in dusty area you will need to clean it earlier.I clean and lube my chain every 1000kms

                  Aneesh your small sprocket looks worn in the inside.which will cause a lot of chain noise..try inside out reversing of the sprocket..

                            Look at the grooves,and your sprocket teeth look angled forward.
