Hey,
My chain sprocket is still on and good for another 2K I guess. Regular cleaning at 600 - 700 Km interval with diesel and then Motul Lube got it running.

My 20K experience
Pros
- The motorbike is wonderful piece of engineering and is surely a notch above all the same segment motorbikes I have ridden during my span of 50K road experience. Handling is unmatched.
- Be it city riding/cutting, cornering, touring. Never disappointed. Always makes you feel craving for more and yes, definitely increases the confidence.

Cons
- My bad experience started when I took it for two back to back extreme off-roading tours, this machine is not made for that and I am suffering. No mechanic knows what to do, its all hit and trial and still trying to get it back to its original shape.
- Very bad genuine knowledge of the machine among at SVC, its no better than bajaj and expensive. I don't mind paying the extra buck, but the quality isn't worth.
- Attention seeker, tourers will understand the problem. But am ok with that.

Cool.
Same here about the regular cleaning and lubing both with Motul products only.
I guess many long rides(>=500 kms) took a toll on it. But anyhow it depends on many other factors as well. The 4 months of Mumbai rain and no covered parking must be one of the main reasons apart from the long rides. Anyway, not complaining

3 months later: Nov2012.
# months over but police tell me, "your bike is worth more then 50K, so it will take minimum 6 months to get NTC". i was like "wtf f f f". phoned up few people around including ACP (my friends father), Lawyers, insurance guys. finally after irritating that police guy i got the NTC after 4 n half months form the day bike got stolen. filled up police pocket too.
finally gave to insurance company (had to go 3 times due to ignorance of police and insurance guys). they took never ending 13 days to process and i got my cheque. 95% amount i got (thats the IDV value at 5% decrease because it was just 5 months old bike.)

Congrats Bro......But u got 95% Then why second hand???? Tat too 2K old one? Do u know why he sold 2K done Bike???

@Ron-Good part is that you received 95% of price.
it has happened to my one of the friend and police took it more than 6 months and that was pulsor 200.
and even i think that you should have gone for a new V2.

Mine is @ 17781 kms and will be up for 7th (the 1st paid) servicing asa it touches 18K.

I'll also be replacing the chain and chain sprocket.

@tdjbiking: is the price Rs/-2815 including the labour charge aswell?
@nastrofaction: have you got the chain replaced? if so from which SVC and how much did it cost? also how much is the labour charge for the paid servicing ?

Hi,

@ kuntalnag : Rs 2815/- is only the spare parts as I shown in the pic.. Service done in MSP Moto World, Bangalore. They have charged Rs 300k (to replace chain sprocket) added other service charges like water wash, oil change etc..

@leodj: Its my pleasure to give a detailed review... Please I would take couple of days time. Held up with Office work even on weekends... :-(

I know what i invested in

the new v2 was 1.33Lakh onroad. he was selling me for 1.10lak. a difference of 23K was big for me.
he had hardly used his bike. test rode too. he was a family man and had got the bike because he liked it. but had a car and scooter too. so didnt use the bike much. he is a known guy in the biker friends around here. clean bike (virgin bike i would say :P ) lol.

Hi Gang!

I'm relatively new to this forum. I'm planning to this bike maybe in next 2 weeks, I owned a RX 135. I'm kinda scared now after read this thread (almost 100 pages) people seems to know a lot about this bike and my knowledge is very limited when it comes to bike. I just Googleing stuff to understand the terms most of you use. I'm trying to learn but lot of stuff is going over my head. Will this be a problem after I take my bike because I hate to see my bike suffering due to my lack of knowledge and you all seems to identify issues rather quickly. Would you recommend this bike to a Newbie? I have one more questions to friends from Chennai, I heard this bike is technically very advance and most of the SVC people doesn't know what they are doing, Is there a good place in Chennai you recommend to get the servicing done or is there a direct Yamaha SVC in Chennai like Enfield (i'm new to Chennai i'm from Kerala)?

No, I don't know but Its a fun story

I put on a request to be with the mechanic during the service but the chief mechanic slightly got angry and instructed not to allow any owner in the service area. so I was forced to wait in the waiting room but I didn't give up, started to get in with out any permission (I should not do

) and I noticed that they were demonstrating how to fix the chain sprocket to other fellow mechanics... I just smiled that my bike would be a test trail for other mechanics. If I continue to do the same I may face the consequence in the quality of the service so started listening music inside the waiting room.

They took three hours to fix the sprocket.
