    Good to know that you are enjoying your beast and it is performing flawlessly. One question regarding service cost.

    Have you opted for Annual Maintenance Package ? or these are the regular service cost that you incur (i.e without AMC package)?

    Also, what are some of the common problems that you have experienced with your bike that I should be aware of (if any)? Asking because I am about to take delivery of my TNT 25 next week and I can't wait for it.
    Congrats buddy for the beast..
    I have not opted for AMC and these are regular costs. However when you opt for AMC costs get subsidized and you can save some money. Once you ourchase you can check with service center they give you detailed breakup and how much you save a brief comparision.
    Regarding issues one which i faced may be you wont face as my bike was from first lot and it was just launched, and even though i faced stator coil failure twice it was duely changed under warranty so no issues in that after that as they modified design afterwards of the stator coil, another issue i faced is water pump failure which resulted in loss of coolant completly and that was also changed under warranty and it is working fine. So till now they have improved the partsbased on thefeedback and thebike you will receive will be much more refined.
    Thanks,
    Anway Kale.

        Hi anwaykale,

        Thanks for keep posting your updates.

        Have you ever faced any issues with the Gear indicator? Like showing only a Dash line instead of the Gear Number ?

          Hey Buddy,
          Yes i face this issue some times though it does not repeat reguparly but happens randomly. I have started ignoring it as svc people have tried to rectify it and the last option is to change the sensor.
          Thanks,

            Hey anwaykale,

            Oh I see. It seems to be a common issue.
            My svc technician also said the same, the sensor might need to be replaced. They will
            Inspect it on my next service.

              I also had to change my rear tyre, as I ran over something bad, I don’t know exactly what, and got a un-repairable puncture. After few researches I went for Michelin Pilot Street. Have done 3k kms with it, and for my daily commuting and occasional highway rides, I found Michelin Pilot Street is serving better than the Metz. But I have heard that Metz are good for tracks, that’s not my case though[emoji6].
              Hey yesterday I changed my rear tire to Michelin pilot street but I'm having horrible experience with the front suspension and also rear one. I really don't feel any comfort while crossing zebra lines or soeedbreakers as get too much vibration on the handle bar. Have you faced any such issues ? I think Metz were better bcoz they can absorb shocks due to it's soft compound nature but with Michelin that's not the case, at least with me

                Hi gaara,
                That's not good, what you are facing. But I didn't find any such issue after going to Michelin Pilot Street from Metz. It's also a soft compound tyre. Even I know guys owning KTM and TNT 25, who switched to Michelin, but not facing any issue. However, some advice from my side:
                • Please check whether the tyre fitted with proper direction, as Michelin is one of those uni-directional tyres.
                • If direction is correct, check for the rear wheel alignment.
                • Don't know if you fitted the tyre from SVC guys. If not, show them once to check the wheel alignment and related stuff.
                Thanks,
                Jo

                  I fitted from the service center of that Tyre shop and they had all the equipment. Soon my 4th servicing is due at that time will check wheel alignment issue if have any. Also what air pressure you use for the Michelin?

                    Hi gaara,
                    The tyre pressure I maintain is:
                    Front: 34 PSI
                    Rear: 42 PSI

                      Hello Everyone!

                      Took delivery of my Raptor today. The ODO was at 30 when I took delivery. The delivery experience was memorable and awesome. I reached the showroom at 12:30 HRS and did the paperwork and Collected the Owner's Manual, Service booklet, and extended warranty book and the spare key. Going over to the delivery experience, this was a "DREAM COME TRUE MOMENT" for me. The bike was covered with a white cloth and I was asked to unfurl it. The people at the showroom had decorated the bike with garland(which was unexpected). I handed over a box of sweets that I took with me, thanked everyone and left the showroom after taking photos/selfies. Went to Ganesh temple at Echanari straight after delivery for the customary pooja. While at the temple, I was a little emotional and teary-eyed as I have been awaiting this moment for almost 4 years now. Left the temple after the pooja and reached home after having lunch on the way. One thing is for sure, this bike is a HEAD TURNER.

                            No, I must thank you.
                            You know, i have same bike as you. I buyed it for 4 months salary and i love it. I choose it because it suits me, i do not need more powerfull bike. I also went to the temple to thank God, for the bike.

                            Sadly i live in a country where the people not appreceate what they have, they can only complain. They will get more and more and complain that the others have better. They dont see that they get so many from God. It is very sad.

                            And you have joy from things that are "simple" for us.
                            I get sentimental! You get my respect!
                            I wish you luck and joy.

                            Thanks for the lesson for my heart.

                              You are correct, Happiness and Joy lie in simple things and for people like us, these machines mean a LOT. We should be thankful for the almighty. Wishing you happy mile munching.
