My Jezebel

I got the first service done at 820km (1 month) for my Jezebel and the riding experience has improved tremendously. The engine feels smoother and less heated. But all this came at a cost of Rs. 1400 + damaged silencer plate. I don't know what went wrong with me that I just didn't notice that my silencer plate had bent and scratches over it including diesel/petrol corrosion stains. I will visit the SVC today to ask for replacement but I am not sure they will agree

Anyways how much does a silencer plate cost?

You mean the silver colored heat shield? Some Rs 250 odd.

I got my 4th paid service done at 14k and currently i am at 14.7k. yesterday i checked my coolent level and it was way less than the lower mark. I think the service center guys didn't check the level of coolant during the service. Yesterday i went to the service center and asked the mechanic about it and he smiled and said that i did not check saar. I asked him why they charge about 500 for paid service?? Just for changing oil and washing?? Anyways i bought the bottle for Rs 250 and topped it my self. It took almost 200-250ml and now it is just around the upper mark.

Mail2vasant - Tell you what to do? Two things...
1. Be firm & polite to talk to the service manager of the dealership (not just the ASC) & tell him/her what happened & the repercussion of not toping up the coolant
2. Mail to Honda customer care & state what has happened

Nailing these people constantly will help us in long run.

BTW, Thank you very much for sharing your one year of ownership experience

Yes i did tell the svc manager. Actually i know him very well and he is very polite so i dont like to use harsh words talking to him. He said that it won't happen again.

Dear Mik,

Yes, that is the rim width i.e.bead to bead distance at the top, not around the whole tread.

Please do kindly check the rims of a 150 if it is available at the ASC and post your findings. The mechanic may not have the requisite knowledge to give you a considered opinion.

And if the swap is possible, I very strongly recommend it to you especially for the forthcoming Leh ride. The confidence given by the tyres is worth the extra expense, in my opinion.

Regards,

Maneesh

OT: Oshadharon!! So, another thread coming up, ehh? Beyond the Networked World: Redux?

@Aargee: In case you're visiting your SVC anytime soon, could you please ask them how much time it'd take for them to get the front brake master cylinder? If I don't get it here, you're my only hope. TIA!

Will do; also give a try at Dhruvdesh Honda in Bangalore as well.

Thanks. Ok will see if I can source it from there. I really do not want to claim warranty an all. Just want the brake in normal shape.
Things are getting worse by the day and it is not possible to rely on engine braking all the time. But then I don't want to keep the bike sitting in garage.
