            Oh man, that's sad. Bajaj guys will be able to bring the bike back to glory, don't worry Just that their charges will be wee bit higher than outside.

            My Cali115 was also very problematic a year ago. But one servicing and a bill of around 1500 for replacing cone set, brake shoe and some other stuff at Castrol bike zone and she was back to her good days. The only problem I have now is the crank/connecting rod noise, otherwise the vehicle runs fine.

            Some say caliber 115 was the last quality product from Bajaj stable in that range (highly debatable though ) So relax. Do keep us updated about the progress. And one more thing. If at all the bike repair cost is exceeding 5000rs (highly unlikely, but still), consider resale option.

              Damn! There are so many Help Me posts nowadays thats its hard for anyone to keep track. At such times even genuine cases get overlooked.

              Hope the Bajaj guys restore your bike(which they mostly do). And as animeher said, keep the resale option open.

                    i ned som hlp wid my caliber 115 ..................my Dad hd bought it in '03 n til date shes ben workin fyn apart frm d gear box issues dat bajajs' hav ...... bt nw m facin wid som mor ............. cud ne1 elp me here???

                    1. There is some 'TAK-TAK' noise coming from the steering / handle while braking ( i.e. when the forks get compressed and de-compressed ).
                    I have got the fork-oil, fork-springs & the steering-cone replaced, but the problem still continues.
                    Also, the steering / handle is very unstable ( shakes badly ) over rough roads.

                    It is a steering cone issue. Play occurs when steering cone wears down. If you have changed the steering cone using genuine parts, get it tightened.

                    Also check for proper fork oil level.


                    2. The rear wheel feels very unbalanced. It feels like if I am riding on a punctured tyre.

                    Get your rear wheel bearing checked.
                    Get your swingarm bush checked.
                    Get you wheel spokes alignment checked.

                    3. The drive chain makes a lot of noise while pick-up. It sounds as if it is hitting the chain cover. I checked for the slackness, but that is not the cause here. Can this happen because of sprocket play?

                    Get your chain+sprocket checked.
                    Get your chain cover checked for any bend or misalignment which may cause it to rub against the chain.

                    4. Vehicle gives a jerk when I open the throttle as wel as when I close it. This has been happening for a long time, but now it has become really very intense. Could this be related to the chain issue?

                    Can be caused by worn out chain.
                    Get you idle speed checked. It should not be set too low.
                    Make sure your carb is not tuned too rich.

                    5. The Gearbox has always been rough makes a 'KHAT' noise when shifting. Also, the top speed in 1st gear is very low.

                    Get your clutch alignment checked. There should be sufficient play for the clutch to engage or disengage fully. Also do not ride using half clutch. If the engine oil is too old get it replaced.

                    hey...........n ne1 cud suggest me a good bajaj service centre / a nice mechanic in or around thane city..........

                    thanx a lot .......

                        Any decent mech can fix these problems. Not necessarily go to the SC guys!

                          No bro u need not to sell ur bike just for minor issues.ya minor issues,but lots of minor issues sometimes spoil ur bikes charm for sometime.bro in the xbhp forum CALIBER 115(hoodibaba) is so rare so without pretty handful experience on particular bike how one can suggest u exactly solution on the problems.sometimes it takes months to get answers but its too late for problem bearer.

                          NO,ther is no fooling around in my opinion. If u see forum index there is lots of touring and help me threads all over.Reading touring threads takes toll on the help me or another sections so plz don't be dishearten or off ur mood.when u get back ur bike in good shape kindly let us know.
                          NOTHING FOREVER,EXCEPT CHANGE.

                          Without opportunity,TALENT is nothing.
