          you can change the plastic panels however, you may get in trouble with rc and insurance as the bike is registered with the stock colors.. better get it checked with your rto/rto agent...

          cheers

I test drove one last week and was literally Fida due to the ride quality. So finally booked one and might be getting delivery tomorrow. Have read some good reviews for this bike and am actually a fan of Yamaha (experienced the 1100 cc Silverado).

            What are some 'Must have' accessories? I was thinking - Mesh seat cover is sure one of them. Any others? LED lights, handle grips etc etc?

            same pinch there ... I patiently waited for 3 months and then gave up and bought a fazer .

              checked at Pacer this morning. they quoted Rs. 650 for the butterfly crash guard. didn't have the rod there.

              • just picked up my bike back from service. in addition to regular service had the following done:

                fork O/H - rs. 450
                swing arm greasing - rs. 350
                clutch O/H - rs. 350

                my bike reads 15k on odo. just wanted to check how often one should get these done. this is the first time these were done (except for the fork when i had a fall earlier).

                • today when i returned from hostel at around 130 am
                  my dad came to pick me on my bike at the bus stop
                  after reaching home i noticed that white smoke was coming
                  from the exhaust i have heard that it is due to oil burning

                  it was a cold start and it was raining heavily before
                  what is the cause of the white smoke bike ran only just
                  2km engine was cold
                  and not started that day

                    Butterfly crash guard is Rs. 500 in Kolkata. I've attached it.

                      dont worry white fumes is also caused by water in the exhaust pipe and cold starts.... let the bike run for a couple of minutes and check again today... if the fumes still persist then that might be a huge problem....

                            it will increase performance as rolling resistance will decrease and mileage will increase
                            BUT the stability will be horrible handling will be a problem
                            why not get a R15 to get R15's performance

                                this is so different from the usual question... can i put the F16 tyre on my R15.

                                if you do this.... your front tyre will look "fatter" than the rear.
