    Hey bro.Avoid going for Carbon fiber Two Brothers Racing exhaust,either go for Aluminium or Titanium one's.As Brat has already pointed out the V-Twin engines will pose problems on the Carbon Fiber exhaust.
    Yes a Slip-on exhaust will Void warranty.

      like I pointed out before, I've ordered the exhaust through the dealer, hence warranty is still intact, so if anything does go wrong, it should be taken care of

        My GT has now completed 9000kms and i wanted to install K&N air filter. Its not a straight fit but with a slight tweak - it is possible to install, just so that i dont have keep replacing it every now and then, but - rather just clean and re-use. Besides, I was in the hopes of adding a new end can later in the year. So this small mod would be a good place to start.

        I was told by the dealer (Bangalore) that the air filter change is considered as a 'MOD' and it would void warranty. If your dealer has assured you, that you can continue to utilize the factory warranty with the TBR exhaust, then - nothing better than that..!

        Just make sure he does not back-out of this agreement at a later point of time, if you need to utilize warranty.

          I am going to take it in writing from the dealer that my warranty is still very much intact once the exhaust is fitted, thanks for the reminder

              • Disrespectful SOBs

                excuse my language..but i need to vent..

                had parked my bike in sirifort sports complex, where I have been doing so almost every day for 3-4 months now, never have I had a problem with people messing around, in fact, only a few people even asked about it

                I thought, perfect, cause I really dont like the attention, I try not to show it off

                (btw.. sirifort is a pretty neat sports complex, although govt run, its a hotspot for sport playing people in delhi, was a venue for racket sports during the cwg in 2010)

                when I got back, found the bike with both rear view mirrors (had custom 1s, with LED indicators) broken off and the front right side indicator gone as well
                right side windscreen inteferes with steering, and whats so weird is there are no visible scratches on the sides, fairing

                will take it to the showroom tom and have a proper look then, just pissed now

                well, theres a lesson everywhere everytime to be learnt, not gonna be taking the GT there now

                    I could relate to what you mean. I used to take my semi-restored RD350 which i adore more than the GT, to work. Some guy/guys had torn the seat completely with a blade, had thrown the bike on the right side with a dent in the fuel tank and a bent handle bar. It was a new workplace and this happened at the second day at work, so having any foe's there isn't likely.

                    I was much saddened to see that such things were being done and was pretty pissed off at that time, watching my beloved 2-stroker in that condition really fired me up.

                    When there are idiots out there who would want to deface a 25 year old bike which is half way in the process of being slowly restored back to life - it is likely it could happen to the GT. Have stopped taking either the GT or the RD for work and using the ZMA.

                        Gareware's sales target for FY 2011 was 1000, as per their GM's initial press release.

                            visible minor scratches on both sides, suggesting the bike was dropped on both sides, scratches on the lower side of the fairing, and on the exhaust as well

                            mechanic at the showroom literally pulled out and hammered the right side of the windshield, minimal interference in the steering now, hope it doesnt bend back in, can be potentially dangerous during the usual sun ride..

                            not going to take it to sirifort anymore..going to be extra careful and take necessary precautions from now on..

                            do I need to install a disc lock and/or alarm?
                            someone trying to steal the bike isnt really a concern as much as people fiddling around and sitting on it, which results in them dropping the bike

                              Use Xena, thats what i have - its very effective at keeping curious meddlers at bay. Any slight shake and its 120dB high pitch screams are enough to make the meddler go half deaf.
