Chain cleaning & lubricating is very important. Running on bad chain (dirty/less lubricated will result in speedy erosion of Chain Sprockets.
Motul, OKS are good chain lubricants easily available. TVS is also also having some chain lubricant (not of TVS)

Chain rust is not normal, unless you're not lubing it as per the correct interval or riding style/conditions. Common to any motorcycle. Use 'Motul chain clean'. Costs Rs.450 for a 400ml bottle. Check for availability at P. DSG -
MG Road.

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 ..

Had the opportunity to ride with 'joyistheworld' and that red v-twin is a screamer with TBR. Some pics attached, rest other pics are here (Click here)

All smiles

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).

Joy can answer regarding the spread and the illumination, but yes generally all the bike companies void 'electrical' warranty if we go for HID and HIDs don't take much time to install, just some plugs and switches.

i agree..the standard lights/bulbs in the headlight of the GT is expectedly poor

since i too didnt wanna take any chances with my warranty, i 1st tried a simple white bulb, wasnt much difference

so i eventually opted for HID bulbs, both hi n low beam

major problem is that the bulbs/light when switched on, takes a min or 2 to come on, so its as good as riding with the light off which can get pretty risky/dangerous

minor problem is that yellow light cuts the white light of HIDs, im not sure if thats the case for all HIDs, but in mine, it sure is

but in pitch black roads/areas or places with little to no street lighting, the spread/intensity is not bad at all..n definitely better than the standard issue yellow light bulbs..

will post a pic, in the meanwhile, see if you can check out these fb links, pics were taken when i got the HIDs installed..

Test Rode GT 650R

Recently test rode GT 650R. i must say the bike has got sufficient punch to pick up from any gear and u really dont require to downshift too often.
However the engine is very coarse and no way close to be called smooth which any one would expect from a super bike but after all it is a V-Twin. Also after 15 minutes of ride i didnt feel like riding it again anymore. Looks are good but really fails to impress as a complete 600cc package overall.

It seriously heats up even though not riding in traffic.

Not too different from a regular first impression (with only 15 minutes of ride)...

And had it been longer ride, then be ready for lower back and wrist pains for first few days.. that will make you hate the bike even more...

You need to ride it more to love that coarse engine & get used to the pain (seating posture) hehee....
