HI, No havnt done anyhing to the suspension as such.Infact i've had this same query by some of my friends back in kannur. do u think there is something wrong with the dynamics of the bike.It would be nice if you could help me on onething, which is the best suited handlebar for my ride.

Handlebars depend upon your preference varun, your riding position how built you are etc... so really not able to suggest anything in particular as it varies from person to person. But generally an rd handlebar suits well with most people. Check that out if you feel this is uncomfortable.

Is that a Chetak seat?

Nothing wrong with the suspension. The gas type rear shockabsorbers are a little longer than the STD type suspension. The gap seems wide since there is no rear seat.
