Thanks to Xbhp members for helping me to select the bike(What bike section).

Shockingly OTR price in Jaipur is 1,11,190!!!! and above of it no cash discount and the offer is just like a lollipop to a child(teflon coating and cental locking for Rs 2000 instead of Rs 2700, well I'm not interested for both). However all colours are available(white on order only), I'll go for Blue definately.

As there are 3 showrooms here, I'll seriously persue them for the best deal.

In your view what can be a good deal and dealer's margin (approx.)

Thanks

So you finally decided on the bike! Good my effort paid off in the other thread.
Anyways, the OTR price varies from state to state due to Octroi charges. OTR Hyd is around 1.13L so you are getting a proper deal. If they offer you free teflon, get it done-it is good.
As for the central locking device, I haven't come across any dealer offering the same since it is not an official accessory. Could you provide some details of the same?

hey bikers!

my name is pranjal
i am from bhopal
i own a yellow r15

my bike is around 3 months old

well, i do not have any trouble till now
but i want to ask one thing

when i got the bike around 15 days after my cousin asked me if he could ride the bike

i permitted him

he took the bike but he was unaware where the horn knob is located
(i.e the left hand side)

he was not knowing so he pressed the self knob (i.e on the right side) while the engine was already running

i want to ask you all
that does he damaged the self starter or the engine by doing that?
or yamaha guys have worked on it and it ensures safely and nothing is wrong?

after he came back after the ride i noticed that the battery was lil discharged

need your help guys

Whats this air box cap how is it going to effect the vehicles performance and efficiency and whats the burden the pocket's going to bear?

I'm not quite sure but I think there is a cut-off on the starter motor when the engine is running. In most cars too, the starter is connected by a free wheeling clutch and hence no damage to the motor

pranjalshukla · 05-04-2010, 01:10 PM

thanks sharu

i hope so there is no damage to the motor

i love my bike afterall
thanks for your help
means a lot!

it wont damage it in a single time......but can damage if done repeatedly.

and neither bikes or cars have any "Cut off" facility.

Sorry i forgot to add that on institing further, the dealer offered me free teflon coating(Rs 1000) and free gloves(Rs 500, must be s**t) instead of disc. of Rs 700 on teflon and central locking costs.

Yes Savajit sir your help is really appericiated...Thanks a ton!!!!!

As i was not intrested in cental locking( coz almost all my frns removed it as it used to beep constantly and drained battery), I didn't inquired for it, but it would be an aftermarket one just like dealers of other companies offer. I'm also not intersted in teflon coating by the dealer as being offered for free, quality could be compromised.

Are offers given in other areas or just Flat OTR. Please temme offers you got(if any).
