I own an apache fi in yellow bought in sep2008 .I stay in delhi. Since the beggining there was the pik-up missing problem plaguing my bike and one fine day the fuel pump stopped working and had to be replaced. I had to wait nearl 20 days for the fuel pump change.Now i had given my bike for service 1 week ago and told them to adjust the front brake lever as the brake light was switched on even when i did not apply brakes, but now there is some problem in the brake pump and front brake doesnt work properly. when i press the brake there is braking for half a second or 1 second and then the brake lever gets fully pressed and touches the throttle grip and there is no breaking. The pass light switch stopped working a few days ago and svc said that the whole switchgear assembly on the left side(incl indicator switch, horn, headlight beam adjustment switch) needs to be changed ,cost= 450-500 and they dont have it in stock. If these guys dont have such small things in stock then what else do they have in stock???. My bike has covered 5500 kms and today there ws sum noise from the chain and when i showed it to a local mech(I have started trusting this guy more than svc guys) he said that there is prob with the front "'GARARI"" i don know what this means .pls enlighten me but this is the part on which the front end of the chain sits and it has teeth. i guess this is the front sprocket(correct me if i am wrong). he said the sprocket is damaged and i saw it with my own eyes . its teeth looked damaged but he did some jugaad and took it out , reversed it and out it back in place. i dont know what he did was right or wrong but it worked and there was no noise from the chain.I may not be the perfect rider but i am not such a bad rider so as to spoil the sprocket within 5500 kms, i doubt this whether this damage happens so early.What the hell did they do with my front sprocket??? I had told them to lube my chain and i find my front sprocket damaged. Did they change my sprocket with some other bike?? or were they playing football with it??The svc guys had told me there was some minor prob with the brake and it wil get rectified on its own in 3-4 days. i doubted that but still believed them . today my mech also told me there is some leakage from the oil chamber, i will verify it tomm. The pik-up missing prob still persists. In evening i called the showroom guy from whom i bought the bike and told him everything and he promised to call a TVS engineer within 1 week. I am pissed off with TVS service and want to sell this bike. i will get all issues rectified and sell it and maybe buy fazer.I gave the bike to CPL service center in Okhla , new delhi.it is the only service center for fi bikes in south delhi(correct me if iam wrong). This FI technology of TVS has failed miserably
my bike has done only 5500kms
