    This thread is way too silent. No updates from anyone ?

    Let me start with a question: In bumper-to-bumper traffic, the clutch is hard. Its so hard that after 10-15 minutes my fingers start to get sore. My forearms and elbows start to pain as well. When I enquired with the SVC about an adjustable clutch lever, they said I can get it installed separately and won't void warranty. That being said, will the adjustable lever reduce the lifetime of other clutch units like the clutch cable ?

    Also, do you have a suggestion for one which i can order online ? Will an universal lever fit the 300 ?

      TNT300 owners are more active and share their experiences as compared to 600i owners.

          Try this one ... if you trust Aliexpress. You can also check the shape if it is similar to the one on your bike. Or maybe if the 600 levers will fit !!!

            I would say stick to stock you will get used to it, if you wanna go for aftermarket levers go for branded ones.

                Aftermarket levers won't make any difference. I have used one and went back to the original ones. It's more an aesthetic change, rather than functional. Honestly the T3 clutch doesn't feel that hard.
                In my case it could be because of the following reasons :
                1. I use a glove all the time.
                2. I used to ride around an old Bullet (was way harder) for a couple of months before i bought the TNT300.

                I have noticed that the finger joints or the fore arms start hurting in stop and go traffic without gloves.

                In short we need to get fit !!! that's all

                PS : don't waste money on after market levers. doesn't help one bit. save that money for other essentials.
                i don't have a carbon footprint, i ride everywhere !

                        Agree. I never felt the clutch to be too hard. And with gloves it doesn't even feel anything.

                            Personally I used to use Cramster but off late their quality has gone down.

                            Good and value for money.

                            if money isn't an issue.

                            Either ways would recommend you to find dealers in chennai and try them out before you buy them.

                                Since a discussion has come up on riding accessories:

                                Can you guys also suggest VFM jacket & Knee guards?
