    If I have a existing bike and I´m purchasing a second one, is that possible to transfer the NCB in that case as well?
    Yes. It is possible. I have transferred NCB on my old car to new one as well as from my old bike to a new one. I did take help from Coverfox in executing this. Like I said both the car and bike dealers insurance team while being aware of this aspect tried their best to dissuade me from doing this. I had to threaten them with cancellation of order itself. I also said that I would escalate the matter to the Regional Sales head of RE. Finally they relented. There are some technicalities with respect to this. Hence you will have to consult an auto insurance agent who is independent.

    Here is an article from economic times to help you understand the nuances.

    Car Insurance: How to use NCB of old car insurance to reduce new car policy premium
    https://m.economictimes.com/wealth/insure/motor-insurance/how-to-use-ncb-of-old-car-insurance-to-reduce-new-car-policy-premium/articleshow/72179237.cms
    The No Claim Bonus (NCB) is given to the policy owner and not to the insured vehicle. Therefore, the NCB cannot be passed on to another name. However, you can use the retained NCB (certificate is issued) when buying a new policy for your new car.


    Ride hard stay safe.

      Re: Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

      Got my 1 year service done recently, no oil was changed as the bike has run only 4300 kms, only 250 ml of oil was topped up as they said the level was low. I opted out of the chain maintenance yet at the time of delivery I noticed the chain was cleaned and lubed.

      They said the handle is over tightened and we'll fix that, now the handle wobbles at speeds of around 80 kmph on leaving the handle, i know i am not supposed to do it, but i just did it for a while and noticed the handle moving.

      Total bill: 162rs, they didn't charge me for the chain maintenance.
      Peace

        Hi Yash,

        I am from Jaipur too. I purchased the bike from RVS motocorp in Vaishali Nagar. Any idea how is their SVC? Also I am facing the same wobble issue and will take the bike to SC on Tuesday. Is there any group for Twins in Jaipur?

        Many thanks in advance.

          Hello, i had a bad experience at the service center, there isn't a technician specially trained for the twins, don't go there. My bike never used to wobble before going there but now it does.

          I bought my bike from the Ajmer Road showroom which is company owned, they have made a WhatsApp group for the 650 Twins owner and there people were praising the aditi motors service center, the name of the technician is chiranjeev who is expert of the twins, try that service center.

          I'll ask the admins to add you into the group as well, there you can read the opinions and put any queries.
          Peace

            Thanks a lot. Will Aditi motors cater to bikes sold by others? RVS does not have a trained mechanic for 650?!?! I hope this wobble is resolved, I will stop going to RVS altogether.

            Thanks again.

              You can go to any service center present in India, there's no such rule.

                Update : Went to RVS, met Saleem and technician Prakash. Pleasent experience as usual and now the Service manager Omprakash ji will take appointment from Aditi or Rajesh motors for wheel alignment and as per the technician that should resolve the issue as puncture guy did not fit the tyre properly. Front tyre pressure was 28 and topping to 32 has helped like 20% with the wobble. Keeping fingers crossed. Will update after alignment.

                Thanks

                  Please get the oil changed every 12 months irrespective of the running. RE will deny warranty claim for sure as this has happened to one of the guys in RE bangalore.

                    The area service manager of jaipur told me not to replace the oil, otherwise i would have definitely changed the oil. I'll ask him again for the warranty claims

                      More than anything else, it's necessary to change your oil with every service at least for the first year for the sake of your engine's health. You'll have engine debris and a lot of byproducts going in especially when the engine is quite new, even if you are riding minimally. In fact, the lesser you use your bike, the greater the risk for corrosion. So if you're not getting frequent long rides and use it exclusively for a commute, it's recommended that you switch your oil every 4-6 months.

                      are creating a nuisance by riding recklessly on the roads, PLEASE share the same with
                      us on the thread above. Appreciate it!

                        GT 650 can be quite painful on your back and wrists for long rides, Interceptor is what you should get for that, you can ride all day.

                          That's applicable during the first service, when the engine is new and there might be some metal shavings. After first service the service interval is 1 year or 10k kilometers, whichever happens earlier.

                          Moreover the engine drain bolt has magnet inside to catch metal parts or anything loose inside. My running is mixed, city use as well as highway rides. But i understand your point, i'll discuss with the Area service manager of RE and then get it done
                          Peace

                              I wouldn't put my money on it although its better than the liquid which will definitely cause instability. Its going to be a nightmare if it doesnt work reviews are mixed.

                              I got the outex kit going to get it installed soon. It is expensive but I want a worry free solution. We have 3-4 guys who already have outex and there were no issues in the past 9 months it just becomes a tubeless tyre. Rarely drops 2-3 psi in a month which is reasonable.

                                Plz keep us posted on your experiences with Outex conversion. I will be following very closely. I am hoping to go the Outex way when I change my tyres in the near future. All the best.
