    Hi Guys, I have completed the second service. The Bill Amount was 8.5k. I added Teflon coating as well Now the bike feels smooth and the front noise which I had mentioned in my previous post is gone. I am happy about it.

    But the service guys showed me worn-out back break pads. I was surprised to see 80% of the pads completely gone for just 3400kms. They told that I was using too much rear brake, which is wrong. I use front a lot and rear to support the breaking. I am not happy with the quality of rear breaks. They told me that it should be replaced and the cost would be 4.2k +400 Rs labour as it is not covered under warranty. Initially I agreed. Later I thought of digging in aliexpress and found that the rear brake pads cost just 1.8k. Hence ordered this. I will try to get it replaced in normal garage

    Now I will be careful with ridiculous pricing of the spare parts. He also told that the Chain + 2 sprockets costs around 30k . The life of the chain and sproket is around 25k kms.

      the N650 is one of the best morobikes out there for Indian conditions.

            Have a close inspection of the disk rotor and calipers. Defective disk rotars or calipers will cause significant wear and tear irrespective of the brake being used. Look for signs of scratches on the rotor.

            Try getting GRB /GBR something its called break pads in ceramic. There are multiple qualities check which quality you are getting on the break pad. Cos the initial bite on the ones in 600 is anyways poor.

              i agree.
              although chances of getting an er6n ride are bleak.
              very few people go for the naked kawasaki. (i myself prefer the faired 650

              N650 trumps B600i in touring department + its also good for weekend rides.
              so that is one reason i feel the parallel twin would be more vfm.
              but then again the cost of ownership might be more with kawasaki..... i am not sure.

              i am hoping that the ninja won't dissapoint me. will give a second look at er6n too and may be the gt also

              cheers.

              If you are worried about the Kawasaki's service cost and ownership experience, I am pretty much sure it won't cost as much as the 600i is costing, which someone has put up above clearly mentioning just for the 2nd service itself a whopping 8k bill amount, which is in the territory of the Z800. There is an Xbhp member named Sachin Nair, who has a Ninja 650, and who is an avid rider and also has put up a very detailed explanation of his cost of services from service #1 and on the whole they average around 5k if you observe, check it out. He has done around 60k on his bike now!!

                I tried to park close to the wall, the clutch lever touched the wall even before I put the stand. All the weight of the bike was on clutch lever, so it got bent slightly

                The disc rotor and calipers are fine. It is just the bad quality break pads.

                        Well, the oil filter for the 600i seems cheaper than the CBR 250's!

                            I don't understand whats the theory behind company meeing mum when to launch ABS exactly and will the old versions can be fitted with them when launched. They were so quick to put the ABS version models in Auto expo now bang .. no idea.... busy buying MV Augusta for himself!!!

                            I almost bought Versys but Delhi dealership were so bland about customer that set me off. Its more than a month still waiting for there to call to have a test ride!!!

                            first we didn't have options now we have but .....
                            If thers's a Spirit, I RIDE IT!!!

                              Tell me about the bungee cords. Everything.

                              What brand are they? What length? From where did you buy them? Did you order them online? Are the black and the red ones the same length. And everything else.
