    Personally I don't clean the chain, I just lube it with gear oil as and when required, the excess debris flies off and what's left helps hold the lube.
    I also do the same always, nowadays i follow every advice given by u , I've also read, motorcycle reliability,the elephant in the room by you on teambhp.

    But actually the lube is insufficient for highway rides( high speed) ,it's okay for city use. Also it doesn't attract lot of dust, it's easier to clean also, i clean with kerosene. It lasts for 1000 kilometers .

    Wow! That's way costlier than the variants offered here in Odisha.

    Handling charges are illegal. Insurance you can bring yourself, dont have to buy it from the dealership.

    For the first time, an officer of the Regional Transport Office has gone on record and publicly called out all the dealers who charge handling charges.

    Yeah I was told that too. Tru is somewhere around 335 rs. per 500ml whereas Motul C2 is around 435rs. per 450ml...

    Yeah ... Had to give up on the looks part.

    Guys any idea on where to add spot beams and fog lamps to this bike in a way it doesn't hamper the looks?

    Also the pillion seat has a slight curve in the middle , so pillions but doesnt move forward and theres no pressure on its tail bone.

    You can see in the pics. Not much has changed looks wise.
