well.. i was getting late for office and it was monsoon...and at one blind stop the jeep suddenly came on the wrong side ...and i was very fast..infact too fast to even think of braking....

I remember u has this posted as a Seperate Thread before the Server Crash..
Well i too have the photos of ur Wrecked Bike in my PC...
U said that u were on at speeds of 90's speeding to your Office...at an rainy Timeand suddenly the jeep came on the Wrong Lane....Hitting u badly.....

Am i right.....

Man, thats really a bad accident. Took me a couple of seconds to understand the state of the bike. Seems like an achievement to bring the bike back to running condition.

Were you able to find a CBZ that can do a compression check on your bike?

yes buddy u r right....and in that server crash i lost all my threads......

atlast somebody recognized me...

ya....coz i love my bike too much.....i hv some very special memories with my bike.....

no yaar still searching for that CBZ where i can do that compression test.

I have a Bigger picture of ur Bike Crash........

Right! Try going to them with say a Shogun and see how that recommendation stands...

hey guys .. thought about my service at CBZ and finally came to the conclusion to go and ask what did they do exactly ..

the problems were
oil leak
rear brakes were behaving worst than before
and a 300Rs bill for overhauling of clutch which was NOT REQUIRED

i went there and told them about these things and then they asked me to come tomorrow and then i started my 3rd world war !!

he said the rear brakes were fine but it couldnt stop when the bike was moving at 20KMPH !!!
so spoke to the branch owener and told him that if i dont feel satisfied i am going to take this to CBZ head..
fearing that they may lose the license they replaced my rear brake shoe

AND I WAS LIKE WHAT THE F#$!@%!# !!!!!!! IT WAS WORN OUT !!!!!!!!!!

I LITERALLY TOLD THEM '''what the f!#@ you guys think you are ?'''
they said sorry and what every ..
they even gave back my 300Rs for the SO CALLED clutch overhaul
MIND YOU THEY TOOK THAT MONEY BECAUSE THEY JUST CHECKED THE CLUTCH AND DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO IT

so now i was screeeching my rear tyre all the way to happiness ..

@ALL LIVING IN HYDERABAD --avoid TARNAKA CASTROL BIKE ZONE AT ANY COST

i checked with probiking service center..they said they can check the compression of my bike....will go on 14th..

coz so many ppl have complained about this and i hv experienced this on my bike too ....dont know th ereal reason...or wht exactly hpnd ... but i used Motul fully synthetic oil ( Rs. 750/=) once and next time i went for servicing there was not a drop of oil in my engine. since then my bike started consuming oil... then i went in for block piston change along with clutch plates, valves...etc..then i went in through the running in process for 2000kms and it was all fine till running -in .....but now when i rip my bike it is again consuming oil.....i m totally confused wht the problem is.. now i m using power 1,.....and this drinking phenomenon happens only when the bike crosses 90 kmph mark. now my line of action is like this...on 14th of this month i will go to probiking service center...get my engine compression checked...then i will go to my usual service center and do a normal servicing, measure the amount of oil left...and this time i will put castrol 4t xtra, coz its written on castrol website that this oil reduces the bikes tendency to consume oil...and the castrol bike zone guy here in pune also recommended it....i have written a letter to bajaj also...lets see wht hpns....btw....yesterday i hv beaten the shit out of an RTR and FZS...see the bikes performance is ok...dont know where all the oil goes....and my bike doesn't emit smoke also...???

CASTROL Gold Service for FZ16

Hi Guys, so much buzz going on for Gold Service. I'd like to take all your advice for gold-service for my FZ16 which has clocked 8k. I want to try this service for my FZ. Has anyone of U has done their FZ's service @ Castrol BZ. Plz post guys with all your pros-&-cons related with gold-service.

Best Regards,
SALMAN

today i got a call from bajaj service team...they assured me of taking care of problem....lets see wht hpns...but they will do it through the service center only.

want to share about labour cost Castrol Bike zone..

just 1000 KM After my gold service from Castrol Bike zone, today I felt, my P150 is not showing best front disc braking. In wake of ride planned on long weekend ahead went to castrol bike zone and asked them to check it.

after checking the break pad, they told me, its completely gone and need replacement. strange they didn't pick it up while last servicing. could have given me a warning that its about to go.

Anyways, got it changed. took less than 60 seconds to replace it. bill read something like:
1. Brake pads: 138 Rs.
2. service 75 Rs.

Well, checking and replacing it took less than 60 seconds (they claimed their skill).. and refused to reduce the labour charges..

hey, does the part replacement generally is charged almost 50% of the part's cost with replacement taking less than 1 minute.



I am going to my local mechanic for any part change from next time. Though i will buy it from Bajaj spares first.

HH service centers charge Rs 150 as labour for same thing. Roadside or local mech will charge Rs 50. I dont know what Bajaj SVCs charge but they might also be expensive in this thing.

HH charged me 45/- for rear drum brake pads replacement few month back on my Ambition135.
FYI, 38,500 kms, 4 years, 9 months ownership, maint. cost (incl clutch plate/chain sprocket set) = 3938 only....so maintainence cost is just about Rs.100 per 1000kms
HH maintainence cost is not only low cost plus also good w.r.t quality !!

I guess you have got robbed.

They dont take more than 40/- unless there is a huge assembling or de-assembling job.
