    Here is the pic in store room of ASC, though FI sticker was not there, bike was TN registered.

    Edit: just checked, the registration number was visible but not fully, I hope this does not violate any rule here.
    Bro, the Yellow is looking fantastic - like a Real Gold !! I think I should change my booking order from Red to Yellow Now

Completed 850 kms so now can ride it normally not too rough and fast but can go till 90 now. Enjoying the bike.
      Why are you guys doing engine flush on a new bike ? If I'm not worng many new engines don't need one.

        Company services advisors will try anything to increase the bill, I have experienced this many times with Tata motors for my car and even Honda motorcycles , best to follow the manual if it is there in the manual do it if not strictly tell them no, the manual is written by engineers who design these vehicles so you can't go wrong
        Cheers

            Yes I now it is normally done on older bikes but this was the first service so I thought it would remove all the small particles stuck in the engine. I have also read somewhere on net that it is good the use engine flush when changing synthetic oil as it cleans the engine and oil performs much better.

              Using this oil will require 2 bottles as 1.2ltrs is required for change. Maybe will try later after I complete the free servicing from TVS.

                ^^ This is supposed to be a free service right?
                If it is why labour charges applied pretty confusing.

                  Exactly! The chain lubrication is Rs30 in Bangalore. And what are these other consumables?
                  And engine flush? Not at all needed, way to rip off money! Go talk to them.

                    I've finished two services for my A200 and both the times I got call from service center asking for my feedback. If you get a call asking for feedback inform them that you will give bad rating as they charged you for labour. I'm sure next time they will not try to charge extra from you.

                    PS: I bought my machine in Bangalore Ashwa and getting service done at my hometown Aarya TVS and when service is due Ashwa motors keep calling me to bring it for service. So I'm happy with the support I'm getting from both ASC 😁😁

                              Can one maintain riding speed of 110 -120 while riding highways without stressing the engine on this bike?

                                I think 110 can be maintained without any stress on engine because above that it takes a bit time to climb and will stress the engine. To be safe 100-110 would be better. Thats as per what I have ridden this bike till now. Have gone up to that speed just once but not maintained it. Still 50 more to complete 1000kms. Completed the 1st service.
