      I too have a similar problem, at the same side too! I too feel like my bike is slightly leaning towards the left side. Did you check your fork's oil seals for any leakage? Did you have any crash before?

            Nothing to worry about. If its in the area of the contact patch of pads, then during braking it will vanish.

            • ~~~ Confused~~~

              Guys I need a help and suggestion from you. I am confused regarding my choice of going for the existing black color or wait some more for the new graphics.
              See with new faces comes new price tag I guess (that's the cheap marketing strategy every Indian manufacturer plays). The price on bikes over here has already gone up, so i am expecting that even there is increase in 1-2k price hike out there. It wont make any effect as the price has been already hiked over here. But I really don't know how long will it take for those new colors to be made available...
              I am really suffering without a ride... it has taken away my mobility and my freedom.

                    Hey..i was suffering through similar situation..
                    Infact, i had already booked the bike in old red colour. I cancelled it when i got to know about the new colours. The launching of those new colours is within few days and the bike will hit the showroom latest by the end of this month..
                    So, if you can wait(i guess everyone can considering heavy rains)..you should go for new colour..

                      I think it's outside of the contact patch area. Will check and get back to you guys. Thanks.

                      • Hi Guys
                        Its been some time that I've been around. Actually I met with an accident last month. Its long story of how it happened so I'll skip that. I had some bad injuries but happy to be alive in 1 piece. The bike was also screwed up badly, from front till back. Shelled out 15K and still the forks are not balanced, will get that done sometime this week.

                        PS: Potholes below the water surface on the roads on a rainy night are dangerous.

                              He he...same here...
                              actually the showroom owner knows me so I told him I'll choose the colour when the bikes arrive. My choice will be between red or black. I want to see red in reality because it doesn't look as impressive in photos as compared to old red.
                              So, lez seee...

                                Hi Vibhabshu, sad to know about your accident. I hope you are out of it completely now.
                                Yes, potholes are very dangerous on a rainy day especially in Hyderabad. Hope you and your bike will be back in business in no time. Good luck.
