    Thanks sir. I actually found this post (#615 i guess) few minutes before you posted. I am not sure whether the tool kit will have the spanners.
    Is there any downside of using a higher grade oil ? I have a shell bunk right across my office. Hows the Shell oil ?
    The tool kit has necessary spanners to carry out the adjustment.
    The downside of using thicker oil is sluggish pickup, lower FE, and lower Top speed....this if you exceed W40 and use w50 grade....a w30 will improve acceleration,and FE marginally,but engine will run hot,and will be rough..and the oil will become dark in just 500Kms.

        Congrats. Whats the ODO at ?

        Tried to adjust/reduce free play. First i increased it so much that bike would creep with clutch pressed. Then decreased it rather too much, though the shift became smoother but the cable snapped in no time. Went to ASC, got the cable for 67/- and had it fixed by a mech for 20 bucks. Gear shifts are smooth now (as smooth as my friends apache )

        It was a good learning experience. Slowly i shall be able to DIY that don't result in damages. This was my 2nd DIY after fitting the buzzer (which was again not a perfect job since the sound is too low).

                  Check for battery loose contact or console connector problem...

                    does this only happen when you remove the key or does it also happen when your try to start your bike as well.. This could be an issue with your battery ... Check the connection terminals of your battery, if they are okay, get the battery recharged.

                      Does it get reset when you use the starter ? if not , then your battery should be O.K. . If it gets reset only after you kill the engine (switching off the key) then I think that the connection to the memory of the meter should be the culprit . There should be a connection which supplies current even when the key is in off position so that the memory is kept alive . There was a discussion in this very thread ( not conclusive , I'm afraid) about the connection to the meter . Look it up . In that , psr had posted snaps I think . Check the wire which supplies current to the memory with a multimeter . If it's '0' then you got the culprit .
