  • @shiba : Dealers do not have trained staff and they themselves do not have knowledge and add to our confusion bro.

    But a launch requires some kind of Official announcement.(which was not there)
    And how come none of the dealers have any Idea if there was any launch.

    We just came to know of it as @myth posted a mail to CC yesterday, and today morning he gets a call from bajaj that bike is Launched.. Certainly not acceptable..
    Why not Ninja 650R which bajaj launched this week.

    They have also taken my complaint against the dealers(all of them) and have assured me that I will get a call from the dealers within 3 days.


    Another thing guys - If the Dealer tells that Bajaj decides what colour comes in the next lot, its complete bull-shit. If a particular colour is not available with the dealer, and if you book it, they are bound to bring it in the next lot, as bajaj sends the color based on the Orders placed by the dealers.(and not what dealers keep on saying that it depend completely on Bajaj)
    If the dealer speaks otherwise, don't even hesitate to shoot a complaint to C.Care against the dealers. They need to get Screwed BIG TIME because of their "Don't Care" attitude.

    And Thanks to @CHINTAN.. for giving us the Accurate news.

I called em up today afternoon to confirm the delivery on Monday and those idiots are telling me that the load which is supposed to arrive on Monday also has no YELLOW!! I got very angry and blasted them!! now, they PROMISE me that I would get the bike for sure on FRIDAY!!



            Now...I need your help in making a decision.

            Should I wait till Friday...Or should I inform the Customer Care about my problem. ..?

            I think they would have hard feeling if I do the latter, which could affect their cooperation during service and all! At the same time, an email to Bajaj Customer care might even help me in getting my bike earlier!!


            HELP ME OUT FRIENDS!!
            Fire up a mail to Customer Care bro.. It will pay off..!!

            First of all, i would like to thank everyone on this thread who helped me [Sorry for the re-post, my friend deleted my previous post as a prank ]

            Without much delay, here's my experience :

            Getting it from the Dealer -

            This part i was not happy with at all. My mom told me to get the bike before 11 am on 9/8/12 ( as it was a good time ) So, i informed the dealer that i was going to come at 9.30. He said ok and after i went there, he told the service guys to take my bike ( which was in display ) for cleaning. After just 10 min, he came out. I went to check the bike and it appeared as if they just splashed water on it. I told him to clean it again and he said they did their best! ( Later I was able to clean the spots and grease with water and a cloth easily ) Then he took a mug ( medium sized ) of petrol and poured it into the tank. I asked the dealer what the standard amount of petrol they gave everyone was and he said it was 1 liter. I checked the coolant level and oil level ( which was not even 3/4th ) but the dealer said everything would be fine. Then he gave me the keys and after that he tried to get rid of me as soon as possible.

            P.S - Even my dealer said there is no choke for NS!! I didnt want to argue with him and found it later by myself.

            Now for my review - ( I might be repeating points which others said..bear with me.. )

            1. Its an attention magnet! wherever i went, it was drawing stares. I went to the petrol bunk and told him to fill 3 liters. He was staring at the bike and didnt notice he went beyond it!! I told him to stop before he puts in 10 liters and he had a sheepish grin on his face and said its my bike's fault

            While doing puja at a temple, a group of devotees were with me the entire time trying to help anyway they could!!

            2. Gear shifting is smooth and nothing like the previous pulsars. I hit a couple of false neutrals in the beginning but once i got used it, i had no problems at all.

            3. Braking is great. It inspires a lot of confidence in the rider. ( No squeaking noise from the rear disc in my bike )

            4. It is supremely stable. Once you are riding, you can barely feel the weight. This made driving in traffic a pleasure rather than a headache. And the suspension does an awesome job. Potholes are barely felt !

            5. You need to keep an eye on the speedometer all the time or else you will be going at 60 before you know it. This is made even tougher because the NS begs to be ridden fast. The sound at 4-5k ( the highest i went ) will make you want to rev it harder! So, wrist control until 2000 kms will be the biggest problem i guess

            6. No heating problems whatsoever ( 30 km trip )

            7. No speedo errors but the digital fuel meter was all over the place. The indicator switch was ok for me. No usability issues.

            Now for the important question, fuel efficiency. After the one litre put by the dealer ( not sure about this ), I put 3.41 litres ( rs.250 ) . After i reached 49 kms on the odo, The orange light switched on and i guess it meant reserve. The 49 kms was composed of only city driving ( avg speed of 35-40 kmph with few bursts of 50 or 60) I was doing a lot of gear shifting and allowing engine braking for proper run in of the bike.

            P.S - Reserve indicates how many litres of fuel remaining? Can anyone shed some light on this please?

            This is my experience till now I will keep everyone updated as much as possible. I hope i get your best wishes
            Congrats bro.. Wish you millions of happy and safe miles..!!

                            Check chain slack or lube it. Could be one of the reasons though.

                              Thanks , yeah it might be because when I am at a low rpm and high gear, it is more audible. I am 340 kms on odo, should I get it checked now, is it a big issue or wait for the first service?
