    Nice .. It's a good work horse .
    . way faster than the Zuma... Though one cannot compare a sprinter with a tourer ... Both engines are tuned to suit the purpose ..

      What I meant to say was the availability of spare parts will never be a problem for the bikes available in the International market. Aliexpress has almost everything one needs

Most of the consumables match with a Indian bike or there are alternatives. The chain cost is 10k if you go for a DID chain and also there are options on aliexpress ... Lot of cosmetic parts are also available there ... It's a global bike so parts will never be a problem and the engine can at least do a couple of lakh kms without any hiccups .. I'm loving every moment with it ...
        True. I've checked out the options at Aliexpress as well. However, I'm not so sure if I can rely on / compromise on the quality of an important component like a drive chain. But, it's good that lower priced options do exist.

        While I'm happy with the city performance, highway cruising is not entirely stress free.

          Has anyone ordered from there and received it (here)?

          How's the overall experience? They mention that shipping to India is free, is it true?

            I have placed an order for small things like riding gloves and few other products. The product gets delivered in about 30-40 days. Quality is pretty good if not better or best..

            Can't be sure about the plastic quaof fairings and body parts though..

              I ordered the front brake pads and they arrived but the wait was very painful so I ordered another set and kept it spare

                True ... Makes it more affordable to maintain the bike for a longer period

                  Is it recommended to order critical drive parts like drive chain and sprockets, from there?

                  Also, I plan to order the 15T front sprocket to replace the 14T stock. Has anyone tried any similar mod on their Zuma? Guys overseas have done it & claim it's much more rideable now.

                    No, I wouldn't recommend critical parts. Rather try revzilla for that. Only consumables and cosmetic parts from aliexpress please.

                      I would suggest you to buy genuine products when it comes to safety. I am not sure but rolon sprockets might have them

                        Completed 26k km, and chain is on final phases of its life needs to be replaced. Original cost 18,000/- plus extra cost I.e. labour etc.

                        Is there other cheaper option available like chain set of CBR 250 or something like that. Need urgent advice. In service manual chain spec is mentioned as DID520VF, 116 links.

                          I had ordered K&N air filter SU2513 for my duckling don't know if it will increase performance or change sound, can any body comment on aftermarket K&N filter. Waiting for arrival and installation.

                          And if nothing else it will recover its cost in 40,000km as K&N is giving 1 million km warranty. And we need to change stock air filter after every 10,000km.

                          Price I got is 4500/- delivered in Delhi.

                          Finger crossed then can anyone comment on K&N
                          Can you share the contact number of the dealer.
                          I would like to order the same for my inazuma.
                          Also has anyone ordered from revzilla?
                          How was the experience?
                          Did the product come in time?
                          Any hidden charges, extra charges?

                            Had my heart set on getting the SV650 but ended up bringing home the GW250. Couldn't find them in India anymore, so had to move to Canada to get one

                            This bike is much more comfortable than the GS150 that I used to own and seems to have a slightly lower seating position and the gear shifts are super smooth. I think I am going to really enjoy owning this bike.

                              Got a couple of hundred kms on the bike now. There is a longer ride coming up this weekend. Is it advisable to take this bike on longer rides before the first service? Also, any tips regarding the run-in would be appreciated.

                                Ended up going on the longer ride and was doing highway speeds without any problem. Took it to 140kmph fairly easily although it really took its time from 110 getting there. Anyway, the taking it slow before first service plan has failed. Only thing I am not too happy about is the braking.
