Front Number Plate
What options are there for the front number plate position ? The default top of the head light is not that great.. out here in chennai we have to have the number plate in the front...otherwise will run into trouble with the cops..
Any suggestions, apart from painting it in the front mud guard ? The sales guy at the showroom said since it's an inverted fork, if you install it under the headlight it may affect the suspension...
Would appreciate some thoughts on this...

Thanks mate, I just got a receipt for 20k without any booking numbers and a KTM 200 Booklet.

When asked about the Price hike from bajaj they said they haven't received any intimidation from Bajaj so far regarding price hike.
Total OnRoad Price(Chennai) as of now will be around Rs1,37,500 ,Current Price is around 3k more than last week's price due to the 2% Tax increase.
Thanks.. there are a lot of enquiries when I was there.. the service person said deliveries will be faster than expected as new lot arrives every few days(his words) , so the delivery of mine shouldn't take more than a month. I hope so.Originally posted by sivigshankar View PostCongrats ... I booked it last friday.. they said 12 were to be delivered that day.. looks like they get about 25 bikes a week I suppose... I guess 15 bookings have happened in about 4 days.. thats a decent number..
When asked about the Chain hitting Swing arm(Chain Slider) and Tank cap replacement, the service guy said they haven't received any official words about replacement from Bajaj nor received any spares for it.Last edited by NaveenRk; 03-21-2012, 03:26 AM.

@Shubz
Please when you find the time, find out how much the front fork tubes cost (the upper black portion) and the cost of all the plastic body parts the black parts and the colored orange parts i.e the tank top portion and the rear cowl, and also lastly the cost of the Headlamp Assembly...I tried calling the Service station but they said they didn't have the parts and so could not comment on the prices for now, so please try to check with your SVC guys if they know about the prices...Thanks in advance Shubz!!!Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.

1) Toe Sliding was first intentionally for the pic, Now it has become a Habit, You have No Idea, Absolutely No Idea for the Way I Ride.Originally posted by Rajathslr View PostL.P s toe sliding pics,...
In these 2 pics I have few questions,
1) Was tat toe sliding done intentionally for the pic or is it the way u ride ??
2) And is it a good practice to grip ur bike with ur legs so closely while leaning into a curve ? (i prefer sliding on one side,)
3) Wy are u on the right side of the lane?...Did u bend too early?
2) There are three types of leaning we do, Positive Leaning where you put your knee down - mainly on track, Counter Leaning where you put your leg out mainly on Offroad or Rally'ing, if you do
, and third one where, you just lean down with gripping your tank, on road, toe sliding wala funda 
Originally posted by NikhilB View PostI get the noise too but at some particular rpms only...
Seems to come from the headlight assembly...
Like Eshan said, was planning to get it tightened during the first service.Originally posted by Eshan-P180 View PostThe same noise where the orange caterpillar starts becoming a worm...tarrrrrrrrrr type. Lmao on this one...


But What sound are we talking about?
I have a small issue with the Rattling sound that comes from the Chain and its vibes, Irritating

The "Tarrr" sound is from the head assembly, rattling sound from chain seems to be a different problem..Originally posted by L.P. View Post1) Toe Sliding was first intentionally for the pic, Now it has become a Habit, You have No Idea, Absolutely No Idea for the Way I Ride.
Tats wy i asked tat question

K, will try the 3rd one this weekend..I think its the position/direction of the head tat matters most..

What Iv'e done to counter that is lowered RPM1 and RPM2, a warning light is like NO NO! then a solid red is NOOOOO!Originally posted by Rajathslr View PostSorry for this OT,....
