    I guess my default AFR settings is somewhat tuned up.

    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?

    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

    So without any traffic, I'm getting only 32. So you can be happy that you're getting 35 on Bangalore traffic.

    I refill the tank every 9 lt. So you could say 300 km fuel range.
    How much was per liter you're getting?

    In Highways I even get 40-45 kmpl.

    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.

    Thanks.
    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.

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

    Please let me know about the first free service.

    The major things to be done will be
    1. Oil refill
    2. Oil filter change
    3. Chain spray
    anything else ?

    Also what will be the approximate cost for the first service ?

    What is the price of 1L Tru4 Synthetic oil ?
    Engine Oil - 650-700 ~(1200 ml)
    Oil filter. - <50
    TRU spray - 50-100

    And Totally you need to pay something around Rs. 800 /-

    1L of TRU 4 FS oil will costs Rs. 580+
    (ASC will add VAT+GST for all consumables) .

    **Don't pay any amount for Nitrogen gas !! You can say in advance that no need that. Coz it's annoying and untolerable thing that we're getting charged highly for N2 in filling the tyres.
