    Ha... ha...! Here in Kolkata it happens bro. If you don't overtake from left, you would not be able to reach your destination. Even I have seen the cars to overtake from left side. Visit Kolkata someday, and you can see!!!!
    It will take another century for lane driving and civic sense to be strict and improved here.

        Even i had overtaked through left side,but felt it as very danger,because reckless car drivers may turn at any time without any signs.

        Here is a pic:

        M45 with chain guard.

        I always use the turn signals whenever overtaking from right/left any side.
        And thanks for the pic, after how many kms you changed your stock tire?

                Have you changed the engine oil to 15W50 ? have you monitored the bikes's response after 4 K RPM ?....I changed mine to 20W50 DTSi oil used in pulsar and Ninja 250...the bike had smooth engine and pulled with a lot of ease till 4 K RPM, but beyond it ,it was a dead duck.In 250 Kms the oil changed to dark color and I drained and filled the HONDA 20w40 oil made by Tide water oil co.The first 100 Kms behaved like any other 20w40,but now I find the engine revving better....
                Gulf Pride 4T plus 20w40 by far is the best VFM and a good product..The Gulf Pride 4T plus Gold is Pinkish Red in color and equally good.

                        shell AX3 & AX5 are 20W40 mineral oil. AX7 & Ultra are 10W40 semi-synthetic and fully synthetic oils respectively.
                        Shell engine oils are available even in their petrol stations here in Bangalore.
