After a few more OFFs & ONs throttle worked and the same throttle disconnection happened again when I started my journey from where I had stopped next. This is the first time my bike has behaved this way. Any one with similar experience ?

    I am happy with the service.

    I could have ridden if I was in Hyderabad but I am in my native and to travel to Hyderabad was not an option.
    That's great mate!! . My friends have had bad experiences with these agencies so I was a bit skeptical.

    I dont have any option to take two wheeler to transport office. Service has to collect the bike from apartment and deliver it to my home in Nellore.

    Thanks in advance.

    I ordered from Amazon but the product was sent back in between due to it being damaged. Guess I ll have to order again

    Air filters do not need replacement, but they do require inspection especially if the bike is parked outside, you never know what made a nest out of it. But, other than that, it basically doesn't need a replacement considering the ODO reading.

    just inspect and clean it if required with some compressed air. considering the low km running the oil will easily be good for at least a year, so don't worry much.
    sometimes we just have to go with common sense and not the 'service manual' or what svc 'advice's' (they of-course want to sell parts to make money)
