They too were unable to lock the seat and asked me to leave it with them for a day. I agreed since I'm not riding the bike in the city without registration since I'm not from Maharashtra and is unfamiliar with the Marathi language and cops do favor someone who can speak Marathi well here. I don't wanna give unreasonable bribe to these cops for riding my own bike.
    By the way, I too bought it from Pimpri Chinchwad "Sai Baba Sales Hinjewadi" to be specific. Damn, I would die if I have to wait for that long, 3 weeks and your bike still not registered what the hell, my friend's Royal Enfield classic 350 got registered in less than 2 weeks.
    AFAIK you can ride an unregistered bike for a month since date of purchase.

      I can say it as a review as I have clocked 11k kms [emoji1] .
      The bike felt smooth since the beginning and hasn't changed a bit yet. The throttle response is good and the mileage is as expected of a 200C motorcycle.
      The bike does a top speed of 130km/h,but starts vibrating after 110km/h.
      There are things TVS could've included/improved like:
      -fuel injector, ABS & Pirelli tyre version availability
      -better headlamps
      -bugs like gear sensor faulty (will get replaced if within warranty period) and the display.
      -overall availability of spares like the body parts(front mudguard and other parts which are part of the colour scheme).
      But there is a catch,for the price they are selling the bike (₹110000)-(when I bought it),the bike is worth every penny and can easily do the task of highway riding and best for city travel!!������.
      Hope this review was helpful.
      I wonder why TVS have not improved the Headlight, many people have reported negative about it.

        Headlight is good if you update the bulb inside. I was using Philip White Vision 55/60W for sometimes before i changed to LED headlight. But Philip light was also good enough on road conditions. Atleast 100 times better than the original bulb.

          Did the philips bulb effect the battery? I'm thinking of changing my bulb too.

            good running in 10 months. i got mine in feb 2017 and just crossed 8.5k. what is your experience with rear wheel? i find mine not rotating freely.

            please use your rear view mirrors. it saves lot of unnecessory honking from people behind you

              No effect on battery as it is of same wattage as original bulb. you can choose from 2 companies i.e. Philip White Vision and Osram Nightbreaker. both are similar costing and both are very good. Only thing is Osram you might not get a single piece.

                I guess you have a LED strip alongwith the standard headlight. Or are you using the LED instead of stock bulb?

                  Also can you tell me what type of bulb does the bike have? Is it H4 or any other type. I couldn't find it in the owners manual. Thanks.

                    Bro, i am using LED instead of stock bulb for the last 6 months now. No effect on battery as LED headlight is 35W which is pretty less than stock.

                    Sorry for late update on my bike. Busy with work schedule. Completed my 8th service at 19800kms.
                    Bike has done now 21500kms. Problem is with the Silencer now. It has started making weird noise like some part has broken inside the silencer.
                    Checked with Service center and they have confirmed that silencer is spoilt. Worst is the part is broken inside so cannot do any welding on it.
                    Need to change the silencer now. Checking with SVC for warranty if it can be changed under warranty. I have completed 1.4 yrs of ownership and warranty is for 2 years.
                    Will update once i get some news.

                      Hi, can you tell us which led lamp you are using, I could find some on Amazon but they all have bad reviews.

                        i have got the toolkit with the bike. It is normally attached onto the seat beneath.

                        I bought LED headlight from AliExpress.com for about 1100 rs. Reviews there were good for that particular light and i took the risk of importing it from China. But it was worth taking that risk. The light output is good not awesome but does the job for me on the dark road. Also i can use flash light easily as it is LED and not HID. So upper and dipper switching is at ease.

                          If you get the lamp yourself, do the SVC guys change it for you or do we have to get it done from elsewhere ourselves?
                          Also is changing the stock lamp for brighter alternative legal? I'm asking as some guys said it isn't allowed as it may be too bright for the other riders.

                            7000 km update.
                            Got bike's head and chain set changed. Head was making a lot of noise after 10km drive.
                            Everything got changed under warranty, total bill is just Rs. 32.

                            Thanks

                                The fi version and pirelli tires are like unicorn. Everything one wants it both nobody gets to see it.
