I discussed these issues with my mechanic.
For the clutch issue, he suggested me to replace the complete clutch kit with genuine one.
For the oil leakage issue from head area, he suggested to replace both the rubber mounts along with the gasket.
Apart from this, I decided to try SKF cone set for resolving the handle issue.
So, today morning I went to Karol bagh to purchase all the spare parts. I got 10% discount on genuine HH parts
Then, I went straight to my mech's garage, and below is the complete description.
1. Clutch Job: Clutch discs, clutch plates, clutch center, clutch hub and clutch cable were replaced with genuine ones.
Engine oil strainer and centrifugal filter were cleaned as well.
I used my favorite engine oil "Gulf 4T Synth 10w30" once again.
Now, the pickup is good, and the jerk issue is gone.
2. Handle Job: It took almost one and half hours, since the mech really struggled to install the upper and lower cone.
After trying for 30-40 minutes, he told me that new cone set might not fit since it's not from Hero. But I was sure that VKWY-63001 (SKF Part No.) is the correct one, since I had verified the same from the SKF catalouge which was available in the shop, as well as the shop owner himself. In the catalouge, it was mentioned that VKWY-63001 cone set is suitable for Achiever/Glamour.
So, after my re-assurance, mech tried again by filing and greasing the tee section from inside. And finally the cone set got installed successfully. I must say that the quality of SKF set is really good. Now, there is no kat-kat sound and handling has improved as well. Below are the images for reference.

3. Head Cover Job: Both the rubber mounts along with the gasket were replaced. Lets see whether oil leakage stops or not. Below is the image of old rubber mounts which are looking in bad shape.
4. Miscellaneous:
Spark plug was replaced with Bosch UR5DC twin-electrode (Apache). I had read good review about this plug on xbhp itself, so thought to give it a try. Unfortunately, I forgot to take an image of this plug.
Air filter was replaced after 8K Kms with genuine one.
Got the carb cleaned and AFR re-tuned. I had instructed the mech not to touch the TPS. So he just opened the float bowl, and cleaned all the jets and other parts using petrol.
All in all, I'm satisfied with the job, and the mech charged me Rs. 400/- only for all the work, which I believe is reasonable
I'll also post the complete break-up ASAP.


all the company's oils are available here castrol,shell,valvoline,veedol,gulf, agip etc but all of them are 20w40 grade. So once again dissapointed and bought honda 10w30. Price is increased now it is rs 310 per litre. Got it for 290 by the shop keeper. 
. Drain in 1500 kms .
Regarding honda oil it is now priced 310 rs per litre. Where as hero oil cost 215 rs. If it is the same oil then why honda is overpriced? Someone in the engine oil thread said that honda oil is more smoother compared to hero oil. That's why i bought it. But [MENTION=29030]Pinaki[/MENTION] ji you says that it is same...
