      Yep, Of course saree guard and passenger footpad are the extra fittings done by ASC .They will charge something around Rs. 300-500 in your motorcycle Invoice.

        It's because of un-informed people that asc's survive and prosper.

            Mahalakshmi motors, Keelkattalai - works for me.

            The first service there was really poor.
            Second time it was really good. I complained them about the last time and listed them all the potential issues, and they sorted out all the issues in my second service.

              Hi Apache owners.. I need some help with servicing charges. I have a new Apache, just completed 1st service. Here's the bill.

              I got charged ₹250 for Engine flush which I just learned, reading this forum, is unnecessary on a brand new engine. Is an engine flush required during 1st service? I will be keeping an eye on the 2nd service if they write this on the job card again.

              I also got charged ₹47 as customer charge (C.C). What is this and do all of you get charged this amount?

                Go to your service center now and ask about the CC and engine flush.
                Also lube should not be around 150. It's 80-90 at most.
                Ask them about the charges and let them know that you are ready to proceed this to the TVS customer care.

                  It is avaialable with ASC. It will cost you 400-500. Check with them as they used to have very less in stock.

                  How much was per liter you're getting?

                  In Highways I even get 40-45 kmpl.
                  Previously I used to get 35-37kmpl but nowadays it dropped to 33-35kmpl in bangalore city traffic. Dont know the reason.

                    To be honest even though I ride within city, I never stop my vehicle at traffic. It's always moving traffic.
                    So without any traffic, I'm getting only 32. So you can be happy that you're getting 35 on Bangalore traffic.

                      I am happy now

                      Any issues you have faced in terms of pickup when you have a pillion sitting? The bike drags a bit to clock 80kmph or plus

                        No the performance wise, the bike is spot on.
                        I guess my default AFR settings is somewhat tuned up.
                        So I'm getting better performance and lesser mileage.
                        I used to keep it between 70-90 with pillion within city limits always. So the harsh handling comes in the package.

                          For me many time the bike performs well however, sometime it doesn't. Might be because of the road condition. Have Completed more than 6500km in 4months.

                          My bike stickers and logo are coming off. Still in talks with the SVC regarding restickering.

                          I prefer Indian Oil Petrol but many of friends suggested for Shell petrol. Any difference does it make in terms of mileage?

                            Avoid flushing at asc. Have a look in the manual and see if it's mentioned in the list/table of tasks defined for every service. It's best to stick to what's mentioned on that table and most asc don't even follow half of what's mentioned in the table.

                            Flushing can be done every other 10-12k kms and definitely not required on any new bike. Buy 1 off amazon. 3M flush is for 110/- if you time it right.

                                Provide your feedback once you done the service.
                                I'll try out too.

                                I'm too having same issue with stickers. I planned to do a complete wrap once the bike is 2 years old or so.
                                I tried shell premium which almost 10 Rs extra for a liter.
                                I don't see any improvements on mileage or performance. Refinement was a tad better.
                                I lost my trust on Indian Oil after seeing a couple of times, when I fill 10 liters it was almost half of the tank. Both the times it was at different places.
                                So for now I'm good with Bharath Petroleum.
