    I can completely understand how it feels bro...but hey look at the positive side...the damage is only cosmetic..and replacable..
    Once u replace it u will forget it evr hapnd..

    What i suggest might work is to purchase the decals on the bike itself....i mean I do hv some minor scratches on my blue eyed boy as well...my plan is to purchase the sticker from SVC..

    The ''uki '' part of stickering done under the tank..where your thighs and knees hug the tank..
    I hv observed that has the highest portion of Trion Blue on it..it would cost you about 200bucks..
    Then you can use the blue part and stick it on the severely affected part of the doom...
    I believe it will mask it to an extent it will not be immediately visible and might just do the job...
    Like i said i am thinking of doing it but have not done it yet so i don't know if it will work...pls let me kno if you have tried it asto whether it worked or not..

      Also...When i had my first crash and had some scratches along with damaging the right side fairing bit, i met the mechanic at the Suzuki showroom where i bought the bike since i was in good terms with him and asked what to do...since this was way back in June and Spares and fairing bits for the SF were difficult to obtain..

      He said he can get it painted...as good as new...and no one, evn me cn mk out the difference...
      He said they do it alll the time on new bikes as they do get damaged whilst in transit..
      He promised to get it done and said it will cost 1k...
      I did not like the idea...so din't go for it and since it cost me only 1350 at that time, replaced the fairing..
      All is good now..but the prices of the fairing replacements have gone pretty high now..:thumbdown::thumbdown:

      So u know what am trying to say...check with the dealership..some mechanic there who can probably do the same for you..
      Hope i hv helped...cheers fellas !!

Got tempted and booked the bike straight away. Finally getting the bike at 91159 rs OTR. Hope I have made right decision.

        Mostly I will be getting my bike on this weekend. Excited to get hands on baby busa!!! Can't wait!!!
        I'd say that's a pretty sweet deal mate...

        Make sure you do a thorough PDI..

          On another note, do any of the Guys here know if it is a closed or an open loop Fi on the SF...?

            If the paint is not clear coated then it will damage the paint depending on the quality of the Vinyl stickiness.

                After any ride, wait for at least half an hour with the bike parked on main stand/paddock. Not on side stand.
                Then measure the level.

                  Hi could you tell the application from which you have booked and got the discount. It would be great if you explain that in detail.

                  Thanks

                      I posted the picture of the oil level earlier, but the bike was on side stand. When I checked on the center stand today, the oil filled the whole circle, so I guess its alright.

                          Initially the gear shift seems hard.. Happened to me too.. But after first service,the difference is huge... And as time passes,it gets smoother... So calm down and keep riding😁😝

                              Brake lever feels almost the same to me lol.. The front brakes are insane,bite is just too good... Rear drum lever needs regular tightening,so 😇

                                Hi. Application name is "little". They were offering 14000 discount on booking for limited time and the deal was available for bangalore only. Took a chance and allows like all went good. Tomorrow I'm going for pdi. Mostly I will get the bike on Monday.
