Thanks xbhpians for helping me deciding this bike.

I had to wait for couple of days to get the colour I wanted. Bought this bike around Diwali time. In the first 3 weeks, it has done about 60kms and the mileage was about 37kmpl. In highway, it returned about 75kmpl.

Initial impression about the bike (and about me riding the bike )

- Cold start issue is more severe than I expected/ more severe than my XL super.
- It's obvious as this bike is pretty much excels in almost all the things comparing with XL super. I like it's shock abs, lot of torque , I could see a lot in the rear view mirror...
- Bike reaches 50kmph easily. It's much faster than what I used to (about 30kmph in XL)
- Back wheel wobbles a little when go past 40kmph.
- I thought it would be too heavy and I would find it hard to get it from the cramped parking lot. But it's less heavier than I expected.

- It would look better if the handlebar and the exhaust too painted in black (matte).
- I don't know how to ride the bike smoothly. There are lot of jerk when shifting gears/braking/taking off.
- I am pretty much clue less @ what gear I am in when riding, esp. after I come to a complete halt. (Would love if the console shows what gear I am in)
- Shifting gears every now and then in the city traffic is little hectic for me.
- During my highway ride, my right palm gone numb after about 15/20kms. As I had to keep my palm there with almost no movement. It would be better if the accelerator stays there even if I get my hands off of the handlebar.

After first service (500kms)

- Mileage is about 56kmpl. (98% solo; 70% highway)
- Back wheel still wobbling. Service center acknowledged that the wheel is wobbling and escalating this issue to TVS. I don't know how long it's is gonna take to fix.
- Now rear wheel brake is too loose. I have to press hard to brake. (I am still using rear brake first as I am little skeptic that I will fall if I use front brake first. I am comfortable applying both the brakes in XL as the speed I ride is not much, but with this bike I don't know. I guess it will take little time to gain some confidence).
- They claim that they water washed, but pretty much every thing is dirty or at least they didn't washed it good.
- When I give the bike, the supervisor agreed that there is a noise in engine. I could still hear the noise when taking delivery, but the mechanic claims that the sound is normal and refused to accept that there is any unusual noise.
- Still fuel gauage showing wrong.
- I guess cold start issue has dropped a little.
- I think shifting gear is little better than before.

Overall, I am not happy with the first service.
