Sometime in December my bike had clocked around 10,000 KMs and it got some real bad steel against steel sound from the engine despite the oil levels being normal. I gave it for service saying that my oil seal was leaking, so was the engine packing and a zillion other problems in the bike.

On taking the bike from the showroom I noticed that nothing much had been adjusted... they probably just changed the oil and they told me that they had changed the clutch coil magnet under warranty.

1 day later...the noise returns...the clutch locks up... the oil continues to leak from everywhere. I return the bike for service on Jan 13th..and till today the bike is still at the showroom. The guy at teh showroom had not started any work on the bike even though they said they would return the bike in 2 days...they demanded me for a new tyre saying that the old one is fully punctured and completely worn out.

So I went around looking for a new tyre as the showroom guys - refused - to start work on my bike without the tyre . I looked out for Michellins, MRFS , whatever I could get and guess what ...they dont have the same profile as Apache 180 . you cant fit higher profile tyres of the same alloy size without 'welding' some parts.

If anyone here knows what tyre can be fitted on the apache 180 without much adjustments...please help out

So yeah I asked the service center guys what tyre could be fitted and they're like "I don't know". The head mech of the service center said "he doesn't know. I'll give you the alloy ..you go look for a tyre."

I accepted to their thing and I asked them if I could come and look at the service cause so far all your services have been very bad . They replied - "You ask whatever you need.Other than that mind your own business"

So I went to meet the manager of the showroom - Koohinoor TVS Chennai - for those who want to know . I told that guy this is the scene and he said he can only get me the tyre and other than that you can't do anything about it.

- Point to be noted by all - TVS in chennai doesnt have stock for Apache 180 tyres...ANYWHERE. Their factory does not send them tyres either .

The manager calls up the factory and he's like Customers waiting can you please send some tyres to the showroom as soon as possible?

The guy said no...The manager lost his cool and he goes like " I dont want this issue to leave my office . Please send tyres. Bye"

He told me he'll get me the rear tyre...I asked him when and the reply was He doesn't know.

If anybody on XBHP knows how I can let the higher authorities know...PLEASE..PLEASE HELP ME.
