TB is the bike which gives you divine pleasure of riding.
It is soo smooth that u can lay down your head on the tank and go to sleep when u are on highway in 5th gear b/w 60 to 80kmph( dont do this this is just for explanation

With its lean burn engine it gives a wonderful mileage as compare to its siblings of around 35+. One thing special about this bike is the riding position it is very comfortable even if you ride 100 km it feel that you have done only 10km.
Talking about style its a beautiful machine. Finely crafted.
Now i am starting this thread to discuss all the positive and negative aspects of this machine.
One thing all TB owner are aware of is the timing gear problem after on an average 10k-15k km the timing gears are worn out this thread is to discuss this problem mainly and some other drawbacks also. like Rear breaks some time give KKKAAAADDDAAAAKKKK sound and break lever vibrates like any thing some tine in this event pads get broken


This machine is one wonderful piece or art. Its a complete cruz and if u want to ride fast it can give strong competition to all the bikes available presently. But problems associated with it made it a flop. I have been sorting out these problems from past 5 years and now i finally got all the answers, now i want to share them with you.
