    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.

    Original seat:-

    Alright. still the modded seat looks bit bulky for my eyes.

      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?

        I am thinking of getting it once, right now I am using Motul C2. Tru is cheaper than Motul and I was told by a mechanic friend of mine that it's a good product so will try it once I run out of my current spray.

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

            I went in for a service in Aryan Suzuki Bangalore. Casually had a chat with the SA. he showed me latest price list for gixxer. Attaching it here if it could be reference to someone who are planning.But i feel these showrooms are charging very unreasonable amounts on insurance/handling charges/accessories etc. We have to be very vigilant before paying the money.

              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.

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

                  I used it in my hornet, it's good but not better than 140 grade gear oil

                    Doesn't "oil" attracts more sand particles and dust than the "lube"?

                      Life is too short, don't give it a second thought. Go with what makes you comfortable and that would do just fine.

                      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.

                        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 .

                            Is it that using gear oil doesn't require chain cleaning or you don't clean it?

                              I do clean with Kerosene and then use gear oil which is much better than any other lubricants.

                                I don't as it doesn't make much sense, a few hundred km's after and you'll notice no difference between a chain lubed in gear oil after cleaning and one lubed in the same that has not been cleaned.

                                The dirt light enough to stick would do just that whereas the heavier ones would be flung off after every-time you lube the chain.
