    They were Charging ... 90 rupees for Oil
    120 Ruppes Labour
    30 Rupees Consumer

    I Reduce the bill to 185. Still overcharged, it should be charged 100 rupees & 150 rupees oil replaced...

I have suffered alot with these guys but have fought in the right manner and still get my parts changed free of cost if its the mechanics error. plus bill issues all u need to do is send the soft copy of your bill explaining the issues and yes the 30 rupees they charge for consumables is bull crap cos they only use chindi cloth..
    To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person u are.......

      Yes, even I did same in past & i have a good numbers of parts being changed due to asshole mech. Right now the idiot mechanic has spilled brake oil over front mud guard, speedometer cowl & the other fibre parts .. all ****ed up.

      D 390 will heat you up in Cities more then CBR 250, both bike isnt as comfortable or convinient as RTR is in city but "kuch paane k liye kuch khona bhi padta hai"

        Hey guyz which rear tire is better for RTR 160 hyperedge. Im looking for 100/90-18"
        1. Michellin Sirac
        2. Ceat Vertigo Sport
        3. MRF Meteor M, Meteor, and MotoD

        I have heard Ceat is bit heavy on the sprockets and so you will have to change it sooner.
        All the above tires are all-terrain tires. Among them which is the best in wet conditions?
        I will be using mostly fro city riding and probably a ride every 1~3 months.

          I have my RTR along with the CBR, hence no issue for me....
          I guess there is no one as confused as me on what to upgrade next though I am in no hurry as of now
          Should it be D390 (the 390 thread here scares me though!) or the upcoming R25 (Not tourer friendly) or the upcoming RC390 or even the Inazuma provided it is priced right (a different league all together, focused on comfort than performance) or wait for Triumph 250 Atleast N300 is not in picture because of the moolah needed And CBR250 is not in list because I would opt for ABS variant which is priced too close to 390!

            The Apache is ever willing to red line each cog, but the Rider ain't. Enjoy RTR, Safely. Period.

              Another major confusion I have is, whether to sell the RTR or keep it If I buy a bike like R25 or RC390, I cant park it anywhere in Blore like I do with RTR now, it will simply gather too much attention. In that, D390 (already common in Blore) and Inazuma (Poor thing has been blasted for bad looks from its first released pic!) scores more points

              Anyways, let me not corrupt this thread now, this should belong to 'What Bike' section

              EDIT : Many might already know this but pressing the Pass switch in low beam (not high beam) switches on both low and high beam! This works brilliantly on highways. I guess there wont be any harm in using it occasionally. It will almost be like a 70W headlamp

                If only guys at TVS would listen and launch the big daddy of apaches ASAP.
                They have been talking about a 250 cc for years but dont know when they will finally launch it

                  Let's wait for the 2014 Auto Expo and see. I'm sick of riding my dad's Dream Yuga. I would love to buy a 250cc TVS (with ABS), but sadly, it doesn't exist yet :-(

                          I guess I'll never get to ride an Apache then
                          There's no reason to get an old model which will get superseded in just 6-7 months.

                              It will take quite a while for a new Apache. The one resulting from BMW-TVS tie up is scheduled for 2015 and I dont think they would launch any other higher cc bike before that (if at all they have one ) which will be pointless as it will be replaced in 2015!

                              I would say, you can buy the current RTR esp the ABS variant.

                                Yes, I could, but it would be a compromise. I'm in First year engineering, so this'll be my bike for at least 4 years and I'm not particularly fond of its looks. If I'm going to compromise anyways, I might as well stick with my dad's bike right now and buy the one which I want two years later.
                                I'm also looking at the 200 Duke, but it doesn't have ABS. Rather, I'm looking mostly at the Duke, because I love naked bikes! For some reason, I simply can't stand any kind of fairing!
