    I have to say, the low beam on the GTR has pretty bad intensity, while it has a good spread.
    Been exploring the option to upgrade to HID, but i am being told that it voids warranty (as per SVC) and i dont want to screw up the electricals in any form.

    Now after looking at the above pic, questions:

    How is the intensity like? Can you post a pic with low beam illuminated during night time?

    How much work is involved (is this a straight fit kit?) and has it lead to any electrical related issues since the change?

    Does this really void the warranty as claimed by SVC? (I ask because they have previously mentioned that slip-on cans void warranty too, which is not really the case).

    Motul, OKS are good chain lubricants easily available. TVS is also also having some chain lubricant (not of TVS)
    Thanks Guys. Will try to get one of these. BTW, any idea about this one



    I contacted the seller and he tells that this lubricant is suitable for O-Ring chains.. any one used this before ?

    Also FYI, got a confirmation today that Garware is officially out of tie-up with Hyosung.. and it has become DSK-Hyosung now. At least in Pune the sales and service staff is (almost) same .. Not sure about other cities ..

    Chain Cleaner / Lubricant

    I left my bike unattended for almost 3 weeks due to travel. Yesterday, when I came back, I noticed some rust on the chain. Is that normal ? Planning to clean and lubricate this myself this time.

    Where can I get a chain cleaner and lubricant in Pune ? Any online seller and what brand is recommended and approximate price?

    Hi @maxtheo, There have been issues with my bike but all of them were addressed by the SVC guys in such good manner which I doubt I will get anywhere else.

    The ownership so far has been enjoyable and heart-touching, and I would suggest the bike to anyone for that matter. But you should know what you are going to get and its issues before buying (be it any bike).

    However if you can wait, buy and maintain the Daytona then nothing like it.

I have always liked the looks,pricing and its service support of GT 650R. However i didn't purchased this bike so far. I am planning to buy GT 650R this month Black colour. I need your advice in this regard that should i go for this bike or should i wait for triumph to launch Daytona 675R later this year though 2 lakhs higher priced than GT but double the power.
    I own CBR 250R and want to graduate to any legal 650cc bike.
    I would suggest you wait for a bit and go in for the Triumph daytona 675... I assure you, it will be completely worth the wait... Alternatively look into the 795...
