    Every 3000-5000 is too early i think, tappets dont call for that much of a frequen adjustments.

          It's the sound of fuel pump regulating fuel! Nothing to worry about!

          • basically R15 keeps an eternal touch with its rider and what better way other than communication to keep in touch bro but yeah its good. Even when I clean my bike in morning, I dont even turn the Ignition On, but just unlock it and as soon as I straighten up the handles she would be saying like "Good Morning" in her own language with some humming sound but i like it.

              first I clean the chain by motul chain cleaner then apply the lube to the part visible of chain visible to me then drag bike forward to bring other part in...and then apply lube again and so on. I also want to purchase the center stand .......can any body tell me from where I can get it in NCR...nd how much it costs????

                          • a cheaper option(~Rs.500) is to buy RX-100's main stand and fit it for DIY jobs
                            (i use the paddock stand though)

                              Thats what i felt too. But whenever i felt that the bike is losing grunt, adjustment of the tappets would bring everything back. Maybe they were setting in as well too. Because after the adjust ment at 7k, they got less loose than before.
