Re: Pulsar AS 200 Owners Review and Experiences
Screw breaking off happens in CBR 250 also, a bike costing nearly double. Sometimes these hopeless mechs over tighten the screws, causing them to snap.

I replaced the rear Europgrip with a CEAT Zoom XL (130/70-17). Thanks to Rushank for the suggestion 
Unfortunately, I only noticed after buying the tyre that the speed rating is the same as the stock Eurogrip ('P' or 150 km/h). While that is already more than what the AS200 can achieve, I was initially interested in the Zoom XL because the next size, 140/70-17, is rated H (210 km/h). I was hoping the 'H' rating would imply a softer compound, which is what I was looking for.
Anyway, I chose the Zoom XL over the MRF Revz-S (R15 V2.0 rear tyre) because the tread covers the centre patch as well (should cope better with aquaplaning, etc). I'm currently scrubbing the new tyre in, and will give an update in a few weeks about how it holds up to the roads (or lack of them) in Sikkim.
[MENTION=37725]vrnmhjn[/MENTION] - I didn't get the MRF MoGrip 120/80-17 because I really didn't want to downsize. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway! I hope I didn't make a mistake with the Zoom XL

Got an oil change done before the trip, and the head of one of the screws holding the oil filter cover snapped off, leaving the body of the screw firmly inside. The mechanic fastened the cover with the remaining screw, and sealed it with engine block sealer. Hope it holds.
Each time something like this happens, I remind myself that... 23.5 PS, liquid cooling, monoshock, projector, disc brakes at both ends - all of this for 1.1 lakh. What was I expecting? Compromises will have to be made somewhere - itne paise mein itnaich milega.
