      It's like a polish..Which makes your bike shiny and scratch resistant (it was told to me by the showroom)

        It just another happy 500 bucks for showroom. I did once but it as good as nothing. Say no. They do all these tricks like pro but will mess up their real job.

                  Nope. In Facebook post he has mentioned. Silencer is extra.

                      Honda built the bike, buddy. We can safely assume that they test the vehicle with the oil and then recommend it.

                      I use the same oil you mentioned in my cbr250 for the past 20000 kms. No, my engine is not screwed. Stick to the manufacturer provided service interval, and read your manual thoroughly.

                        Guys there are 2 recent problems I faced and they are random

                        1) Free kick when starting bike
                        2) Bike jerks when in 2nd gear at 15-20 speed when on low throttle

                        Please help with this

                          It's a trap, don't come into ASC's talks... It isn't Teflon coating by any means they just apply a 3M polish and use a buffer to smoothen it out, I'd recommend buying the polish yourself which would last more then a year or so... Also avoid applying polish on matte surface (special edition has a matte paint) it will fade with time and your Bike won't look good.

                            Installed some mods, KTM turn indicators retrofitted with Hazard lights... After market Lower Rearview Mirrors (kind of usable but looks amazing) also I've attached pictures of how the turn indicators holds up while the headlight is on high beam... And a comparison between stock indicator. If you want any information about how to do it yourself PM me.

                            (P.S Rear turn indicators are yet to be changed).

                                Actually I brought from Lamington road, Mumbai... They costed ₹1000/4 indicators... (I know if you buy from KTM it will cost around ₹900/2 indicators) maybe what I got is "chori ka maal" 😅
