    i too dont know much about it...
    since you are having the same prob which i had, i think SS guys will fix a new stay below handle-bar of your bike as they did in my case.
    Stay balances the handle bar and its alignment..
    will cost you around 450-500/-

    the SS guys will let you know about this in detail...

            Agreed that t brake assembly is costly, heck, i don find anything cheap in R15 except for t way it catches rust. Btw I don't think t rotor has been mainly designed for better heat dissipation, but rather for better braking response. A softer rotor with a respective high , but soft friction codeficient material for pads does wonders.

              what to do??
              I did - with my last free service a week back. The problem happened to be a torn rubber just behind the right headlamp, which was sorted out and replaced at No cost by the svc ppl.

                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.
                Hope you're doing fine now bro! & hope your ride is back in perfect shape by next week..

                BTW, during rains, as much as possible, make it a point to ride only on roads that you know very well.. Its very dangerous to ride on stretches submerged in water..

                The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                    Wow!!! Thats indeed a great news and its a topping pleasure to know that the price is the same. Sometimes its definitely worth waiting for few things. Thanks gaurav for the update... Yes! everyone has their own personal choices... Seeing in front of your eyes and in picture is a different story and who know i might as well change my decision of black color to something blue even.. cheerios to Yamaha.. but i wonder have they lodged and improved all the complaints they have received...

                          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.

                          Thanks guys But I was surely lucky. I flew in the air for around 40 feets A hole in the chest (donno how did that happen, even the doctors were confused) and scratches everywhere. All this could have been worse if that hole was 2 inches on digonal. But I am doing fine now.
                          The bike is still not is business. Needs adjustment in forks. I hope to get that done today.

                          Yes, it was a idiotic one. A sucker, on his passion, broke the signal and tried to cross. I was at 20kmph and he banged from the side. Now the new footpegs are again gone along with both the levers.
                          Will get all the stuffs till Sunday. Bike seems to be unlucky for me

                              well yesterday i went to SS for cleaning of moisture...
                              the cleaned by putting air pipe (used for drying the bike after washing) into LED light's whole, at that time it was cleaned but later when i came to my home, the bike showed that moisture again (as it was raining that time).

                              today i again went to SS and gave my bike for solving that prob.
                              lets what happens..

                              will check LED and headlamps today after getting my bike..
