Have you guys got teflon coating done for the bike ??
i got one free servicing coupon with the teflon coating.
anyway on the back of the coupon it says no need to apply wax if teflon coating is done. washing is enough
and about the battery charging, i'm going tomorrow evening. will i damage the battery if i keep trying to press the electric start now and then ??( to see if battery is charging atleast while riding)
almost everytime the display just goes off(very rarely it starts)
using kick for now

Hey buddy, I did not have this problem with GS but with my old Nova 115, it was always there after service. The 'authorized ' kinetic SC mechanics always messed up battery when restoring the buzzer sound (also lasts only for a week).Originally posted by thefalcon View PostHave you guys got teflon coating done for the bike ??

The battery is never charging, its only some charge that remains and slightly increases (upon no usage), that's giving at least an initial life to console. If my engg. theory (2 yrs back) is to be applied here, Yep it CAN cause permanent damage to lead electrodes upon deep discharge...which is not ur case
My Nova went through 4 visits to SC in a week, due to this recurring issue.
Finally they did complete rewiring (2 days). Next month same prob. Then it was the alternator is gone kaput
(wrong wiring and load )...The following years changed Exide battery twice. Finally with buzzer removed and rewiring at a local activa mechanic 
, things became alright and that exide battery lasted 3 yrs to this date 
Dunno about the teflon + wax mix shot

Yes,it will void warranty.i think you should wait for 2 years before you change the battery.you can change the battery if you don't care about the warranty.
I reported to my SC that it's very hard to ride at night with the current headlights.so he told me to use bulb with low power which gives more light but he warned that the life of the bulb will be short.

I would like to add one more thing:Originally posted by imjoshee View Post
If you are riding on the highway at night and you decide to stop the bike to take a piss do it near a populated area where people can see you
what i mean is DO NOT STOP in a desolute spot .Comment

Ohh I knew it... will it void warranty of whole bike or just for the electrical items ?? I think warranty also includes free services.. they will also affect ?Originally posted by AnoopGeorge View PostYes,it will void warranty.i think you should wait for 2 years before you change the battery.you can change the battery if you don't care about the warranty.

What about putting a black sticker on the top part of the headlight so that the beam is more focused?
Do you guys have beam adjustment?Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

hi mathewOriginally posted by mathewsyriac View Post
as discussed with you earlier, Shell ordinary unleaded & super unleaded are both 91 octane only.. the only difference is the additive they add to super unleaded which they claim improves mileage..
So you can safely use shell unleaded ..i use shell unleaded only.. but when i was filling yesterday they gave me shock saying tht the prices have been increased by Rs. 2/ litre.. translating approximately a difference of Rs. 4 / litre when compared to PSU bunk petrol.. having second thoughts of using the same now..
anyway all the unleaded sold in PSU bunks are 87 octane and their branded fuels are 91 octane or higher...Comment

Are you sure Shell Super is also 91 octane? I thought it was somewhere close to Speed 97 octane?Originally posted by dhiwakar View PostQuench my thirst with gasoline!Comment
