Unhappy Low Ground level of Apache RTR

Hi,

I have recently bought a Apache RTR 160 and i have experienced something annoying ;

Most of the times when i go over a speed breaker there is usual sound that comes from the bike, that because if the engine protector ( or may be the stand ) hits the speed breaker. when talked to the service center engineer he said that this is a "COMPANY'S FAULT "

Do you guys who have same model suffer from the this issue ?
Will this affect the bike in the future RUN ?
let me know in case if anyone can help me out from this.

I did face this once or twice on my Apache and that was on very uneven grounds. The stand touched... but never on speedbrakers... maybe ur stand is a bit loose and thus touching the speedbreakers... can get it a bit up...

Its not a Companies fault.......
those Speedbrakers constructed by Local Bodies will be of uneven heights.......

TVS would have done all types of R&D.... and few of my friends has RTR and no one faced this issue.....May be the Local bodies in your area are constructing Speedbreakers like mountains.....
