      Done with first service at 960km
      Total cost: Rs. 1695/-
      (Engine oil use 7100 Rs. 1215/-
      Oil filter Rs. 74/-
      O-Ring Rs. 6/-
      Chain Clean Rs. 204/-
      Chain Lube Rs. 196/- )

      Rode 5 kms after it and it feels smoother. Gear shifts have also become smoother.


      Ride safe and have fun.

          If they take 196 for lubing the chain, maybe you should consider buying a chain lube for yourself, it doesn't cost that much, varies depending on brand, you can use it for very very very long time.

          Just a suggestion!

            It is used a seal on the oil-filler cover.

            I know. Svc charges too much for a few sprays. Since this was its first service, I opted for it.
            I have a can of Motul lube, but it is very tedious to apply without a paddock stand.

            Ride safe and have fun.

                I got my bike serviced today too at 964 km. Got the oil changed and the oil filter changed. Asked the service guy not to do chain cleaning and lubing. Saved some bucks. :-p

                  I hope you are lubing the chain yourself ?

                    Yeah... I cleaned and lubed the chain just after I returned from the SVC.[emoji106]

                      Guys with the headlamp shaking issue. Did any of you guys get a new headlamp for that?
                      My mechanic added a rubber band and a rubber pipe for the screw which is used to adjust the headlamp focus but still it's shaking.

                        I have the same issue. My SC tightened the screw so much that the low beam was pointing to the sky
                        I asked for a replacement to which they said that every bike comes with the headlight movable. As long as it's not moving your light throw and no vibrating noise is coming, I don't think it should be an issue.

                          I can shake headlamp even with one finger that is the issue I'm having. Though the vibration noise is gone after adding rubber band still u don't want a shaking headlamp on a almost 3lk bike.
                          Edit: I registered a complaint on KTM website few mins back and the manager of the showroom had called me in few mins after the complaint and asked to leave the bike tomorrow.

                          I'm not able to upload video in Tapatalk else I can show the video for proper understanding of the issue

                            Oh. That's different then. Do let me know what if the solution they've provided. Although my headlamp assembly is shaking, it does not affect the light throw nor does it make any noise.

                              After that rubber band juggad, it's not making noise. But its still shaking and that is pissing me off. And Is your healamp shaking even now. Are you ok with that.?

                                Headlamp is still shaking. But it is not causing any issues. So I don't want to fix it unless it's causing problems. It seems to be fine for now. Is your light throw shaking when the headlamp vibrates while riding on rough roads?
