    haha, in that case price would have been above 4 lakhs... and all Indians (particularly who are currently criticizing RC) have praised fun factor, ABS, metzs, power and looks and what not... over the other imported bikes.

    Indian people dont realize true value of a product unless a huge price tag is attached with it.

      I got them from US btw, not available in India.

      Here is a link: Amazon.com: EBC Brakes FA606HH Disc Brake Pad Set: Automotive
      Great news there. My front brakes are hard now. Don't know the reason for the same. It's 9k on the odo.
      Can you please guide me to some good brake pads that are available in India?
      If I have to complain about the bike, it would only be the wooden front brakes. That's all.

                  if you are having problems with the adjustment, if the low beam is too low, than you can adjust that...

                      You can contact devraj for this.
                      Dont buy hid from ebay....they are cheap copies.
                      Go to FB and search for dvj auto tech.

                        The buzzing battery cover is so irritating. Is there anyway to stop it?

                          Hey guyss
                          I'm kinda confused between 3M and formula 1 polish and waxes
                          so can u guys suggest me one for the Matt finish parts and one for the shiny parts
                          cause flip kart shows sooo many and I can't find them here in Lucknow, all they sell is vexol polishes

                          Bought the rc390 on tuesday last week but didn't get the time for the review

                              Lol! This picture is of my bike only. I only uploaded this. But the problem is it looks ugly and if the battery cover is opened it takes quite an effort to put it back. Again with this tape the sound doesn't completely disappear but reduces substantialy.

                                haha. I had downloaded that a long time ago.

                                I did same on my bike and sound is disappeared completely.
                                you can use black color tape or carbon vinyl wrap on same which dose not look ugly.
