      My warranty ended on November 14th I will try to get it under warranty as bike has clocked 24k kms , may be they wont notice

        Just checked the insurance papers it has got 52000 as the value...front rim, tyre, front tyre are gone, back tail light with that white part above the light is gone these are the things I noticed when I retained conscious.
        Cant tell about engine may be drain bolt fell off, but if your petrol tank hasnt got any dents that will reduce your bill a lot. Check the front forks alignment.
        To claim insurance you must have a valid DL, park it in your SVC they will take care of everything, they will have a insurance claim form, fill it up and talk to them during spot investigation.
        Keep us posted.

              How is your fiance? Really sorry to hear about your accident. I too had one about a month ago. Just call up the svc and tell them what happened. As long as nobody else was involved in the accident, you shouldn't have a problem. Fill out an insurance claim, hand it over to your svc. They should handle it thereafter. And if your insurance people have a cashless scheme you won't have to pay any bills.

                Hey man thanks for asking, she is okay
                Just shameful to have put her life at stake.
                And about the insurance, so I have nothing to do eh? I mean just fill the form n wait for them to say how much they would take care of, rest pay thru the pocket blindly?
                Like the car windshield is there anything in bike that will be fully reimbursed always?

                    Well. They will not try to cheat you out of any replacement. That's against the law. Whatever is damaged beyond repair will be replaced under insurance. What can be repaired will be repaired under insurance. As per your policy, the insurance people will pay for say 90% of all metal parts and 50% of fibre parts( these are figures under my policy I dunno about yours). Also some % of labour. You will have to pay the rest. It won't be much compared to what is covered under insurance.

                    I went through my policy. There isn't any part in my bike that is fully reimbursed. Check your policy. You'll find all details.

                    • Last night I disconnected tail lamp (one beneath pillion seat) and headlights + console lamps turned on I took it to SVC near my office but he didnt even bother to look into it and said that switch needs replacement. I will take it to my regular SVC in weekend, need to check the wiring.

                        Hey guys. I was just thinking: the Bangalore RTR owners should make a club! I mean, we need to bond, maybe have RTR only g2gs, share our gyaan and experiences on the bike and also have rides together! What say? Is there already such a club? We are a tribe right?

                          After using Veedol Super Swift for 700km, today when I checked the engine oil level, it was one X below on the dip stick. People who have used this oil, please confirm if this oil has a tendy of disappearing ?

                                This has been on my mind alllll the time, never came out. Was never sure if the idea would click coz I know everyone would be pretty busy in their own terms.

                                Always fascinated to ride with some 10 white apache and in total around 50 apaches together...ah thats so mouth watering.

                                Got a bill that has to be submitted to united India insurance, will take a picture and upload it tonight
