also i told the ss guys to check my coolant spilling problem (turns out they didnt fit the cap back on properly after the last servicing)
and also to check the breakpads to which i got a reply that there is still some rubber on the break pads so n need to worry. When the rubber wears off and metal starts touching the disk we will replace the pads.  |
Are you sure its a battery problem? Coz I thought that we have a 'No-Maintenance' battery! Did you ask the mechanic to check the horn tuning? Coz once my bike's horn was really weak after a water wash. I assumed it was a battery problem too, but then the SS Manager told me there's no need to even check the battery charge. The horn was tuned by a mechanic in about 2min.thereafter.
You don't even need to check the pads wear. When they are, you'll clearly make out by the sound of metal scraping the disc while running, that its time to replace the pad. Don't delay it too much after you hear that sound though, you may end up with scratches on your disc!
