Thanks dude. Yeah, i would defiantely follow the run-in very strictly.

Small question regarding gear shifts: The upshifts are smooth but during downshifting, the bike makes a 'Thud' noise. is it common?

I agree..mirrors are very important part of the bike. Please do put them back on your bike and make it a habit of checking the mirrors before switching lanes.Be responsible on road.

It kind of makes a Chluck Chluck noise when you down shift. You can avoid that by blipping when down shifting. This is based on the experience with my R15. Dont know about other bikes

Sorry for the noob question, but wat do u mean by blipping?

try this:

Motorcycle Riding Techniques - Downshifting &"Blipping" the Throttle - Sport Rider

@GP_freak..the whole concept of blipping is actually matching the engine revs to the road speed while downshifting...is that right???

Yes, i agree with Sarvajit. It serves it purpose well and also without mirrors IMO the bike looks a little ugly. The only problem with mirrors though is when going in heavy traffic, we need a little more space.
