    thanks eliksir and archer
    she's a beauty in red
    its the best color offered in STREET TRIPLE.


    small update
    back from a short night ride of about 100 kms
    did short bursts uptil 140km/hr

    attaching the console pic at night

    few points
    1- The Headlight beam is set too low and needs to adjusted a bit up
    2- The mileage indicator was showing 17.8 Km/lt when ridden under 4-5k Rpm's in 6th gear
    3- My wrists hurt after riding in the city traffic , i either need to get used to it or change my seating position or get some handle bar risers
    4- The Gearbox issue is still persisting , and the gears are engaging more roughly than before

    and the bike refused to shift gears from N to 1st and to 2nd quite a few times
    and when engaged made very loud metal noise as if the gears are grinding inside
    and the nearest Service center is around 600-700 kms

          You can adjust the play yourself.. a minor adjustment will solve your gear changing issue..

                thanks ironhorse for the suggestion.


                UPDATE

                adjusted the cable
                the gear shifts better than before
                but its not completely smooth
                will get it resolved during 1st service when the mechanic visits my place

                            UPDATE

                            couldn't ride much these day
                            somehow completed 250 kms
                            will be finishing the run-in this weekend
                            and got a mileage of 21 km/lt tank full to tank full method

                            touched 180km/hr till now
                            the wind-blast is crazy after 150 km/hr
                            if i was in crouched position there was very little wind blast even at speeds above 150km/hr


                            went for a spin with a pillion
                            the bikes underside got scraped while going through speed breakers
                            my heart broke every time it scraped through the breakers

                            any other triple owners facing this problem
                            is the GC that low ?

                            here are some pics from today's evening run
                            sorry the low clarity pics

                              I've highlighted this multiple times. The issue is not with the static ground clearance. It depends on how you handle the hump. You have to approach it with zero speed, and move over the hump without making the suspension move about much. This is even if you don't have a pillion. You have to be especially careful with the pillion. If necessary, ask them to get off, clear the hump and then get them back on. And BTW, it's clear you're not abiding by the run-in procedure, not to mention riding without mirrors, with scant regard for others
