      • I got a HID from navnish but the range that it covers on stock projectors is merely 9-10 feet, and i can see the focus falling on a side board which is 100 feet away from me.

        Is there anyway to improve that thing and get a better coverage on the road instead of the range falling on the sky.

                You have an R15 right? I also have HID's (bixenon) from navnish, firstly you need to check the bulbs are fitted correctly, the orientation should be as in the attached photo, make sure it's in the headlamps H4 holder properly. If this is correct you need to adjust the beam through and spread, there is a picture of how to make the adjustments somewhere in the thread. Google headlight adjustments and find a site that gives proper cut off points, you'll need to take some measurements, so keep a tape measure, some tape and if you feel like it take your small spirit level. You'll need fairly level ground, a wall and around 6 metres of space from the wall, you will put the tape on the wall and the correct height horizontally then you will place your bike at the required distance from the wall, the tape is your cut off, switch engine and lights on and set your adjustments, best to do whilst sitting on the bike without the stand. Job done and enjoy night riding!

                        Now everyone knows that there is a noise that we get when we start the bike .. the ignition noise ..which is like a silent whistle .. but now its like a loud noise that i get and it stays on for some time even if i stop the engine ..

                        is it the ignition noise or something else ?

                        lately my visor has also started to vibrate.. i guess the svc guys shall tighten it for free .. right ?

                        • Its the malfunction indicator and has its own sets of causes.
                          it will alternate between the fast blinks and slow blinks

                          Each of these has some reason..
                          Google around for the description somewhere on this thread!

                              The engine warning light (Orange light) blinks to signify that the electrical wiring around the engine is faulty/malfunctioning. Also weak battery can be the cause of this. The frequency of blinks can be used to evaluate a code. This code maps to a specific fault(say - code 21 is for Coolant temperature sensor). Here is the chart of fault codes. For more detail refer to Service manual or search the ownership thread thoroughly.

                              FID tool will help you in getting the code. Just check with your service center about FID.
