    Basic things to check are , head light tail light, indicators, handle bar, disk break rotors, wheel rims, tyres for any wear, odo meter reading, chassis number, engine number, battery volts, horn .
    Abs rings, turn handle lock to lock it should not touch the tank.
    Look for any rust, get tall the bolts checked before delivery like break paddle and gear lever.
    Run the engine for 10 mins the radiator fan should kick in.
    Coolant level , engine oil level.
    Open the tank and peep inside to spot if there is any rust etc.
    Have a small ride to feel the bike.

    I am new to the ABS world - What are these ABS rings ?
    Have a small ride to feel the bike - Do dealers allow to do this in stock yards ? Or are you talking about before taking the delivery ? Possibly in my case, I will get the vehicle registered before delivery. In that case, i'll have to get the vehicle checked in stock yard itself.
    Run the engine for 10 mins the radiator fan should kick in. - Not sure if this can be done in stock yard as the vehicles may not have enough fuel. Not too sure.
    How to identify the manufacturing month of the vehicle ? is it possible through VIN number ? or it is only possible by checking in the system ?

      ABS

      Those rings are called tone rings. As the vehicle's wheel turns, the tone ring teeth pass by the sensor. The gaps between the teeth triggers the sensor in direct relationship to their speed. As the wheel turns faster, the teeth passes faster under the sensor. Under braking, the anti-lock computer compares the signals from the wheel speed sensors. If it sees the wheels are locked or turning at different speeds (skidding), it triggers the ABS braking system to modulate the brakes.

      Since there is no direct mechanical contact between the tone ring and the sensor, the air gap between them must be precisely maintained or it will give false readings. The air gap in this type of system is normally in the range of 1mm.

      TEST RIDE

      All showrooms allow test ride for the Dominar. All motorcycles are required to be given for a test ride. You need not necessarily visit a stock yard. Visit your nearest main dealer and asking them for a test drive should get you one.

      FAN CHECK

      Yes, the fan can in fact be checked during the test drive by taking a longer test ride in traffic, which heats up the engine enough to run the fan.

      Cheers!

      And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

          Blaster is good you can also look at twister for 1900.
          Or else try Tarmac at bachoomotors both tarmac vento and h2o are on sale at 1900.
          And Aspida pheton at 2250.

            Blaster is nice, also look at Solace Passion and Tarmac gloves. I have done a short review of them in Riding gear review page.

              Found out the review of Vento gloves but when I visited bachoomotors site I found out that tarmac storm gloves (full gauntlet ) we're going for just 2500 but I could not find even a single picture anywhere.
              I really like the Tarmac storm for their extra protection for little amount of money but I have no idea what I am buying so if you could please she'd some light on these gloves i would really appreciate it.✌🏼

                Actually even I have not much info on Tarmac Vento, but do ask them about warranty of items in sale. If you have that budget why not get the Solace Bravo or such better gloves ? Full gauntlets.

                        Stock one is good enough.
                        Else Mobil 1, castrol power1 racing, liquy moli, shell, or motul.

                          Not a single tail tidy kit available yet. Can someone confirm if they made this change now?
                          The only aesthetic part I dont like about Dominar is that ugly plastic looking fender, which doesnt even work well in rain.
                          NS200 has a decent one but I dont think it will be a direct fit.

                              Autologue design has one. They sell a tyre hugger too, but it's pretty small. A little expensive, IMO.

                              I've seen one bike where the rear tail was sawed off below the tail lights and a number plate mount was bolted on.
