Finally after long research, booked SR150 Race today in Savirro Motors, Chennai.

Even I'm contemplating buying a SR150. How much on road it is in Chennai?

The one I bought is a 2017 Dec make. Did some bargaining and brought the final price to 84.7k (race edition). Another Showroom quoted 87k for 2018 Feb make. I had booked via paytm, so got 3k cashback too.

I am experiencing a issue in my aprilla sr 150 race , which is run 2600 kms till date , i am hearing tik-tik noise in the front forks while going over bumps or heavy braking. when i put the vehicle on straight stand and tried shaking the front wheel , the cone set is moving very slighly to and fro . anyone experiencing something like this ? i have no front wheel wobbling . help me out guys

What is the consensus on the extended warranty?
How much is it , what does it cover?
When is the last date to acquire it from purchase of vehicle?

I'm planning to buy this 150 beast. Is it worth considering? Are customers happy about their purchase? I know it cannot be compared to the 125 cc ntorq/grazia. This motoscoot is a new class which any of these Hondas, TVS cannot even try/ emulate in the next five years. The uniqueness is dragging me to this buy. Need inputs from you all and help me in decision.

Can any one share their views on this? I'm facing the same issue

Yes it is fun to ride, but at the expense of 'peace of mind'. A scooter is supposed to be a reliable companion which will never let you down. It should be easy to maintain. This scooter is anything but that. I'll list out its generic problems -
- engine oil accumulates a lot of soot in a short period of time. Signs of a badly made engine.
- gearbox is lethargic from 0-40. All the other scooters, even the 100cc scooters are quicker off the line. Sr150 has been geared tall which is plain stupidity. Nobody wants to hit top speeds on this thing.
- engine starting problem. Doesn't always start at 1st crank. Also has idling problems.
- rear brakes are non existent. The braking from the rear feels like Friction between wood and cheese.
- ride quality is plain harsh. It's a stupid work by aprilia. Even a small pebble on the road is felt. Nobody gonna take this scooter to mmrt or buddh to break lap records. This kind of bone jarring ride Quality will only break the scooter and rider.
- spares and services. This is hopeless. They don't even have a basic air filter in Stock. They are forced to convince you that they have cleaned the filter and it's enough. Air filter used here is paper type and it's common sense that nobody can clean it.
- my scooter was lying in the svc for about 2 weeks. I gave the aprilia regional manager a piece of my mind and grabbed a standby scooter till the new engine arrived. After a few conversations, he had no option but to compensate. He offered me 100% free maintenance for 4yrs and additional 4yrs warranty. But I didn't wanna waste my time cuz I knew for sure that this scooter will develop new diseases.
- Headlights are so weak that it seems like they've placed a candle in instead of bulb.
- engine at certain rpm at the bottom end makes some peculiar tappet sounds. It's just a matter of time that the engines gives up.
- this is just a glorified toy from aprilia. Not meant to be used for utility and functionality.
- nobody will notice these things with a test ride. It comes from distressed ownership. I made a mistake buying it and very soon got rid of it. Just trying to save a few people from the horror.
- this is definitely not a scooter which you can keep for years together.

Any difference in the machine after the company has made the switch in engine oil from grade 5w40(in the manual) to 20w40(new recommendation)?
