1) you can keep your right foot just under the rear brake pedal in the same manner as you keep your left foot while up-shifting.
While braking its easy to bring the foot back over the pedal.It needs a bit of practice though.

2) I don't see any problems if you cut of the main switch when the radiator is running.
You can actually cut of the main switch if you know that you wont be riding for a long span of time, your bike's engine will get cooled with time.
But if you will ride again in a short span then you can leave the main ignition ON for sometime,just to be on a safer side.

Happy riding

Thanks for the tip

bro, do you mean to say that(the bold part) is called disc overhauling? they didn't say anything about airlock.

Yes, that is what the mech's call as disc overhauling.. frankly speaking, i didnt find any diff before and after the job and hence will say no, whenever mech asks me about disc overhauling.

However, they do grind the disc plate to smoothen out uneven areas, caused due to not changing the disc pads on time and that does give some improvement in braking.

I'm really confused between black and red-white..
When I see red it looks sexy and when I see black it looks cool..

And yeah There are no demo or test models here so I just have to depend upon images or else wait for one month see colors and then decide which is impractical for me..

Please help me guys to decide which color to choose

go for red i would say, because black shows starches easily..

),custom led tail lights,bi-xenon projector lamps,valentino rossi replica custom paint with decals.This bike is a beast have ridden 625 kms at a strech on it no fatigue nothing.As the days pass by this bike grows on you and you tend to fall in love as more you ride it. Till this date it has given me only minor problems the most frequent one being lubricating of chain every week and lubricating bearings of the handle joint as water enters during washing. The best mileage which i got till now is 49 km/l and the worst is 38 km/l mostly i get 40-42 km/l in the city.Max speed attained by me is 147km/hr on NH8 on my way to pushkar. I have changed my rear tyre to 120/70/17r and front 80/70/17r both are MRF zapper.This is the bike on which you can count on . I plan to ride it till 100000 kms. I have recently booked HONDA cbr250r abs version .R15 is my daily commute bike whereas cbr will be weekend bike.

Bro...
If thats the case,then the oil must have made the brake pads a bit spongy.
you can ask the SVC people to dismantle the brake pad and maybe check the sponginess of the pads.
Other than this,I don't see any reasons for brakes not functioning upto the mark.

bro, once again, thanks a lot for the reply..

i'll do so this time..

Thanks dude.. Pics are saying to go for black.. but as per Pranit_Crystal Myth black color shows scratches easily.. what do you say? I don't have experience with black color so clueless..

I think camera was not able to catch original red color however if you were to buy the bike which color would you opt for?
