    finally my mate has accompanied me home yesterday.. I was too excited to post anything yesterday and I reached home a bit late in the evening so rest of the night was spent taking a sound sleep finally..

    its ****ing RED !!! my favorite.. I cant explain the feeling in words but this can be considered as 1% of the bigger picture I am feeling right now..
    btw, I was fortunate enough to get the second lot bike. seems like there has been considerable improvement in the clutch from the test ride first lot bikes.. its much ligher and in reach easily.
    The sound..ohhhh... I just love the stock note already.. no need to exhaust upgrade as thjs sounds so sophisticated yet wild at the same time.. I dont think anything in this segment sounds as sweet keepin aside R6, well ofcourse we all know why it does so.. big grinnnn !! after all we have a detuned R6.
    will be sticking the tand pad today already purchased. and waiting for additional stuff to arrive.

    Rode it by myself from the workshop to dealership.. got pdi personally.. everyone please always check for coolant levels before taking the bike, mine was found less.

              Congrats man ! are you going to name her/him? ! do share your break in period experience and all the group rides you do.

              P.s. so what all are the changes in the 'second lot' bikes? other than the clutch of course.
              Being on two wheels is being liberated. The vastness one feels being under the open sky. The whole feeling. . . cant be described.

              Ride safe, Ride long.

                Other than the clutch, the delaer quoted that the rear-brake lever had some kind of stopper attached to it so that when you release the foot pedal, it does go and hit the nearest object, its kind of rebound due to the spring. I wish they could have changed the mirror design atleast IMO, I dont find it very useful. There are after-market ofcourse, but why spend so much on after-market when the stock can be fine-tuned.

                  Congratulations!!...so finally the anxiety of waiting is gone, but the anxiety of "when shall I get a chance to ride my beast" starts now!!!....wishing you lots of happy miles on your new beast and hoping to read on your riding experience with it..

                  When you said you rode the bike from the workshop to the dealership, is it an option that anyone can opt? BTW the bike will be even more cool looking once you get rid of that front number plate, it looks way out of place for it!!

                    I havent thought of any name yet,, for tnt it could be tan-a-tan !! hahahahah or to make it more desi, Laal Saand !! LOL
                    I'm going to do the usual break-in style, massaging the engine in between 5k-6k rpm, using tall gears from low speeds and let it slow on its own.
                    Will definitely share more pics and experiences,
                    I dont know of any other change apart from the clutch so far.

                    Thanks a lot mate, all these well wishes mean a lot to me. I havent even met many of you still I feel connected, thats bikerhood. I wish best experiences to all the fellow riders here.

                    BTW, those who already have the bike, has anyone face the FUEL OVERFLOW issue ??
                    Yesterday after delivery I went to top it up and got 97 filled till neck (means till the metal grill inside) Soon after which the petrol started leaking from a nozel on the left side which I couldnt noticed before I stopped somewhre for a bit, people told me about petrol leaking and I was shocked to see it. I panicked a bit because the petrol the falling straight on to the metal parts of body and luckily the bike was too hot !! otherwise I dont know what could have happened. I called up the dealership and they told me thats its very natural and it happens if we fill the tank till that metal grill inside. They said the bike throws away any extra fuel, but I was shocked to hear that as none on them told me this at the time of delivery, neither I was tought how to use the digital console, ofcourse I can learn it from the manual but still they are supposed to tell me about all these things prior I take the bike on road. I had to rush to get a bottle and then collect the fuel in it so that it doesnt falls on the hot metal anymore. After about half a litre of drain, it stopped. I'm not sure if the bike is supposed to do this when I only filled it up till the metal grill inside, I am assuming this should be a design flaw.


                    Anyone else who has faced the same please share !!!

                    Thanks
                    Ride what you Love !!

                        Thanks a lot Kanth !!

                        Indeed I am desperately waiting to get back home and take it out for a spin.
                        about riding the bike from workshop to showroom, Since I have already faced so much bullcrap from the dealer, they offered me this just to keep me calm and add that extra special feeling to the whole experience, I do appreciate them for this, they said that they would like me to be the very first person riding it. It read 9 km on the odo but thats ofcourse thats obvious. So I had the chance of riding it all the way to showroom. Btw, they also held a decent ceremony with cake and refreshments for all of my friends who accompanied.
                        I also want to remove that sick number plate. but waiting for my registration number to arrive first.


                        Qeustions :

                        --> WAS THE CHAIN LUBED AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY ?? Mine was dry, so I'll be lubing it up on my own.

                        - what fuel are you guys usually putting in. Anyone here using regular fuel ?? If yes, please share if there are any hiccups ??

                        - How is everyone doing the engine break-in ??

                        - did anyone opt for the 3m coating or anything similar??
                        Ride what you Love !!
                        Love what you Ride !!

                          I am currently doing Baahubali 3 with the HDFC guys...My loan application is going throught some tormenting things...Wondering when they are going to pull the plug. I couldnt answer the verification call as I was on a client call and that was enought to screw the application verification. I am trying to negotiate with the person who helped me initially. Trying to get hold of him once evry 4 days and ask if things are progressing or not.

                            Why HDFC ? Don't you have any other nationalized banks ?

                            I have read BOI is better.

                              Not on the TNT of course. Just like you, brimmed the tank right after delivery, returned home and parked. Afternoon I see petrol spilled on the floor. The pipe though is just beside the side stand so none of it is spilled on the bike itself and drips straight onto the road. Made sure to fill the right amount from then on.

                              Also, like you, I was not told of this at the delivery and neither about the console. I called up the ASS guy who told me about the feature. They were fumbling around with the console to reset the trip I managed to show them how it was done as I had already learned those stuff via youtube and manual while I was waiting for the delivery and couldn't think of doing anything else.

                                After the tank cap is on fuel must not spill, ya overflow pipe takes care of any overflow while filling or when cap is not on.
