    Did u buy it online?
    Haha. I doubt if tank pad protects winny :P It is applied to protect tank from scratches from shirt button or belt buckle.

    And Yes. Ordered it from aliexpress.com

      Guys, just wondering.. Has anyone of you tinkered with the hazard lights? I have seen many videos who have installed a device that make all the 4 indicators blink simultaneously.. Like the Harley's.. Although I have asked them about the device there but sadly no one responded.

        Check this post on RC 200, ask him if you need more details.

            I have installed it on my bike bought from spiraltech and you can order it from ebay, its just plug and play device, it has got 32 patterns. Issue of getting warranty is not there because there is no cutting of wires or something like that.

            Ride safe 😀

                  Kanchan Auto at Kanjurmarg took exactly 6 days from the moment my NEFT cleared in their bank account. The bike was washed clean and topped up with all fluids except fuel (which was enough to get to a pump). I went through a PDI list merged from 3 lists available on this forum and found no issues off the bat. I bought the bike from them as I had been visiting them for a couple of months and I was genuinely unaware of the Sakinaka Showroom.

                  After having visited and met Mohit Ahuja at KTM Andheri (M/s Ahuja Motors), I have given the bike to them to check on the issues mentioned in my earlier posts. Mohit is a biker/enthusiast himself and while I will test his and his team's competence, I felt that it is choice between buying from an established and big dealer or an involved and passionate enthusiast who happens to be the youngest motorcycle dealer in the country. Both are equidistant from Powai and I can safely recommend either at this time. Mohit's shop is listed simply as KTM Andheri and is about 500 metres on the right as you go from Sakinaka towards Asalpha and Ghatkopar.

                  Good luck.
                  Can you share this with me , the PDI List.
                  Also does PDI mean Post Delivery Inspection ?

                    PDI - Pre Delivery Inspection.

                    I think the meet is exclusively for KTM owners. But call them and confirm. They might allow if you are a prospective buyer.

                            I think its out of stock on ebay. Message them on their Facebook page when it's available they will message you back and then you can order it from ebay.

                                Is it ok if i switch off the bike when the fan is still on? Because my friend has a pulsar ss 200 and his fan switches off after some time. Today I idled the bike for about 2 min but the temp did not go down. It didnt rise either but fan does not switch off. Is that normal? I know that rising of temp after switching off the bike is normal but shouldnt the fan switch off after some time? And the crazy thing is while I am actually riding the bike in b2b the fan stays on constantly but after riding at speeds above 40 for some minutes the fan does switch off and temp goes down by 1 bar. I know wind helps a lot and this probably is a dumb*** query but just wanna confirm.

                                One more question I had was that once after filling petrol the cap was not properly pressed down by me I noticed this after about 10 min. This would not cause any problems to the cap would it?

                                And i wanna remove the saree guard and will probably remove the tyre hugger after the rains (Dont wanna give people a mudbath right now) so if anyone could direct me through the procedure that would be great.

                                I have been with this bike for about 40 days now with 550 km on the odo, just normal city riding and one highway ride no niggles yet except the foggy display. The bike is a hoot and a complete attention seeker. It literally screams out for attention( no pun intended). The seat is a buttsore though kinda gets comfy after a long ride but still. Dont wanna do any mods right now. I see a guy with a black duke 390 with a green rimjob it looks kinda nice. Anyone know a motul dealer in pune? Please dont tell me about ktm showrooms. I have had no problems yet :touchwood: Any probable buyer should just go for it. And anyone who has any experience with any pune svcs( I know bundgarden ktm is a good one but its like 25 kms away; if theres no choice i will go there) please do share

                                Will post a review tomorrow
