            Got the second service done at only 1504kms on odo, on 13th march. As per number of days.
            Didn't opt for oil change as after last oil change have ridden only 900kms.
            Total bill was Rs60/- only for 200ml of oil topup.
            No complaints thus far only thing i mentioned was engine vibrations for which they service center doesn't have any solution.
            But seems like vibrations would settle down with usage.
            The mechanic working on the scooter also made some carb adjustment to increase the fuel efficiency not that i told him, he ask me about the current mileage which i said is 43kmpl, now he claims that it would increase.
            And yes everything was done in front of me.
            Overall very satisfactory 5 months with the scoot.

              Try going to company authorised service center they might find a solution. Seems like some pipe has a block, or there is gas built up in the tank.

                  Does anyone knows the stock/ company recommended setting for carburetor, as at the last service they did something to the carb setting and now the scooter feels sluggish or lacking in pickup. Also the rpm is kind of low. For honda activa it is 1.5 turns.
                  It would be helpful otherwise i would be opening it up as per good old method.
                  Thanks.

                    Done with carburetor tuning today, the idle screw was really needed some adjustment, and also changed the afr setting for now kept it at little less then 1.5 turns and throttle as per my liking.
                    Response at idle is now better and headlight beam is stable, and for the short ride i did after setting the throttle response felt better.
                    Will keep notice how it rides now and also the effect on fuel efficiency.

                            8th Service (paid) done yesterday.


                            No major complaints except that I found mileage was bit slow after last service (was getting around 40/42 Kmpl).


                            Service guy suggested to clean the carburetor.


                            Total Bill came to Rs.340 i.e.:


                            Rs. 170 for Carburetor cleaning & Rs.170 for Diesel wash.


                            Other service charges are free because of 'Joy ride'' scheme/membership (Rs.325 saving).


                            All ok, except the so called diesel washing. When I went over there to pick up the scooter, I found lots of dust / oil traces around the body and under the seat hence asked them to clean again, which they did (but his face gave the impression that he didnt like that) but I have to dry up the water traces all over the scooter body.[anger]


                            Will never ask them to wash the scooter in the forthcoming services as I finds its a waste paying Rs.170 for this kind dirty washing...

                              Got my 7th Service done today!

                              Bought that Joyride card for Rs. 1,075/- (Tier 1) city.

                              Effective price per Service = Rs. 268.75/-

                              Savings of Rs. 85.25/- per Service

                              Was charged Rs. 41/- (incl GST) towards consumables and O-rings etc.

                              Washing was not good as always.

                                Joyride - I paid Rs.1095/- (mine is just a municipal limit and not a city?)

                                They told me Rs.325/- is their paid service charges (without consumable and extra job). So I will get 4 services under this scheme which if not a Joyride member, I may have to pay Rs.1300. So the saving is Rs.205 over a year.

                                This was my 2nd service after taking Joyride scheme and I did not pay any money towards normal service cost (I paid Rs.340 this time which was for Rs.170 for Carburetor cleaning and Rs.170 for washing)..

                                What will happen once the joyride scheme expires - they may come with another scheme..!!?
