    Oh crap man!! Seriously.. Its for sure a piss of situation to see our bikes getting manhandled like that.

    I have asked for a separate spot for parking thats right in front of a CCTV camera. And Im gonna get a disc lock asap. Ill out the cover on top as well. Let see what happens when they remove the cover and the alarm goes on.

          Logos and sticker replacement isnt a huge cost its the savage way they remove it which causes scratches on paint.. stickers costed less than a hundred bucks but that scratch is still visible along the sides of the tank.. my friend had his whole tank scratched with a keychain.. like a jalebi on the tank.. bike was barely a week old.. he got the whole tank replaced coz he just couldnt stand it.. in short its realy realy hard to protect your ride unless you have your own parking space or a garage.. i am blessed with a parking space inside the house and since 5 years not even a single scratch..

            Its little difficult to get your own parking space in an office premises. Either you have to find a secluded space or park it near the security desk or at a place where CCTV has its coverage. By that, you can keep your bike's safety under check.

                  It doesn't! you have to bring the headlight-ON switch (Right Side Switchgear) to center position for only pilot lamps to be on.

                      With the help of @Dhwazz29, below are the items we checked during my delivery.

                      1. Opened the seat and checked if we had tools placed inside a black cover.
                      2. Checked the indicators, high beam, low beam, pass switch, parking light switch and applied the disc brake to check if the rear light was working fine.
                      3. Checked if there were leaks on the forks, disc plates and chain.
                      4. Checked thoroughly if there were any scratches, dents on the bike.
                      5. Checked if the console was working properly.

                      If you want an exhaustive list, here you go

                          [MENTION=80219]Shashank Suresh[/MENTION], For paddock stand you can get it from Gaurav from Bombay for 2200 rs. I got one and it's sufficient for routine maintainance.

                            Hey bro. Thank you for your suggestion. 2.2k is "bang for the buck".

                            I live in Chennai. Will Gaurav ship it here ? Will it cost extra (sorry if its a dumb question).

                            As you already know the TNT 300 weighs ~200 kgs. Will it withstand the weight ? The reason Im asking is, when I visited the SVC last saturday, they told me that if the paddock stand is weak it can damage the spool stand. Please advice as necessary. 2.2K is just wow!!

                              Gaurav has shipped paddock stand for my D390 & fellow RC390 rider here in Chhattisgarh. Quality is excellent and paint quality is also good.

                                That sounds great. Can you pass this contact number/facebook ID ?

                                Can you also post pics ? Just the paddock stand and with the bike installed.
