    do let me know after that
    whoa !!! it did work!!
    thanks bro!!
    btw now help me at this one..my gear shifts are hard, told the svc guys, they said it is so on all bikes, they say the gears are not hard one of em shifted all the gears right from 1st to 6th and back on idle and showed me that the setting is perfect and not to worry...
    but i still feel the gear shifts are not smooth as they were before...
    now whenever i shift a gear, there is a loud "thud" sound..specially from N to 1st gear..
    p.s. they did the clutch adjustment, play and all is correct.
    after monday and tuesday, even the calendar says WTF!!

              2nd and 3rd gears see frequent red-lining, a couple in a day.

              Haven't seen anything more than 135kmph
              130-132 is what I see and cruise under 110kmph in the interest of FE.
              Absolutely! And that's great. A good 110-120kph cruise speed is all I expect from the bike and it delivers it without much of an effort And from a 150cc motor that's fantastic!

Never affected running. Otherwise bike is very very smooth. HydBiker&some others have clutch bell sound, but it is very feeble, in idle it can be heard when the clutch is held. Mine is constant&very evident.
                I think the Area Sales Manager is going to look into it soon. Thanks for telling me about your bike's problem. Hope mine gets fixed as easily too!

                Guys I'm facing the same problem. My bike run only 1200+km. Mine only sound when it is on gear and try to move or on motion. It's not happen on idle. The sound is really bothering me. anybody else having the same problem?
                Can someone tell me about the problem and the solution briefly?

                  good to know you are free from vibrations now

                  well regarding the gear shifts

                  i tell you my experience
                  the gear shifts are smooth on high speeds
                  you dont even feel like the gears have been changed

                  earlier i also felt like the gears arent smooth enough
                  let it be like that

                  now, gearshifts feels smoother after 5k kms
                  just my personal experience

                  i advice you to do nothing right now
                  u will feel the difference after a few more thousand kms

                    can you confirm that the thud sound when i change gears (from N-1-2-3 later on as you said they're pretty smooth) is normal?
                    well with the visor vibes gone, i have vibrations on the handlebars, the panels with deltabox written on it and the right footpeg .. the reason could be the tappets..my 2nd servicing is due in a few hundred kms..
                    my question is what all did you guys do at the second free servicing?
                    oil change?filter?tappets?valve clearance?
                    just let me know...

                      while idling, even my bike is kind of loud, like a pulsar..while on idle, i can feel each firing on my handlebars. but when i depress the clutch lever, the vibrations go and the sound of the bike changes a bit..i took a video, but can't capture the change of sound that well, you'll have to put your ear to it !
                      in case anyone of you know what i'm talking about please let me know..else, i'll upload the video.

                        just let me know...
                        'thud' sound is normal on slow speeds

                        consider tappet adjustment at around 10k kms
                        second service is just too early
                        you need tappet adjustment when you get a 'tik tik' sound from the engine
                        while riding you feel like some loose marbles

                        valve clearance must be checked after every 6k kms
                        however the need of adjustment comes after 9k kms

                        i am pretty sure in your case the main culprits for the vibrations are

                        1- loose steering handle (even i faced vibrations on the handlebars)
                        2- engine mount bolts
                        3- loose fairing bolts


                        well in case of the second service they just change the engine oil, clean air filter, lubricate the chain and wash the motorcycle

                        do not expect much from them
                        free service is just a formality

                              Well, The new white color with the BLACK rims isn't called Limited Edition anymore. The LE has been stopped. Now, the white is sold as another color option at the same price it seems

                              Yes, I get that sound when I shift from N to 1st, there is a thud sound. Its completely normal. You should here it in the liter class superbikes! Sometimes, when they shift from neutral, the thud can be heard for miles!

                              But I have completely smooth shifts after the 1st gear
                              D'oh!

                                I brought the pin/axle for the rx center stand today, costed me 30 bucks. Now i can do the much required lubing. Had brought the center stand a couple of days back for 200 bucks. Can post pics if anyone need them for reference.
