No crash guards also made available, even considering indian road sense. chain rusting is so common, my chain got rusted after 3 days of service. cluth lever broke in half when bike fell on speed of 10, foot peg broke on the same speed although it cost Rs 35/-, this proves build quality is cheap. they only concentrated on a great handling and styled bike. But not things which matter in long term. I do not use bike for long distances i make short trips so i am ok with it, my frnd uses it for long travel, he is ok with it if not very happy.
