        as per bajaj terms and condition they say if you use other engine oil in bike warranty or you miss a service you lose your warranty so always keep all your service bills for record...although they would never know but being a customer you have no other proof, so they change oil, they use to do it for my pulsar.

          • Waiting period

            Hi,

            I'd visited the PBK in Pune. Was informed by the showroom guys that the waiting period is 5 months ... for both the colors...there have been 50 bookings in Pune already n it seems they underestimated the requirements in Pune...is that true?5 freakkin months...?wots the scene like@ PBK in Vashi and Kanjurmarg...guys pls pitch in...on road in Pune is Rs 2.96 and they're offering finance options...

            Thnx,
            Amod.

            • I have never experienced anything like this all my previous rides - eliminator, P220, and the current rides Aquila, R15 don't even compare to the ride quality and the feel of being soo secure on the road. The bike is just amazing and the probiking guys call up every 4 days or so to ask how is the bike, and the service manager of Vashi Probiking was sent to Pune for training just for Me and a good friend of mine who lives few blocks away and recently aquired a green ninja along with my black ninja. The service manager said that they were given strict instructions to treat the ninja customers as VVIPs . Bajaj guys really know how to treat customers well. Am amazed how much they have improved since my P220 Dts-Fi. I haven't taken it above 4K rpm but even at that speeds you can feel the power between the legs and the sound of the Fi unit is sooo awsome it sounds like some robotic beast. All in all am really happy. But in bumper to bumper traffic the engine gets really hot, I don't think its a big issue as the engne is quite new and with time and hopefully friction the temprature won't rise soo rapidly

                    Last week, I planned to ride down from Pune to Chennai on my 220 and ride back with a brand new Ninja! But there were more surprises than I anticipated. To know more about this fantastic experience, and to also read my 2 cents on the bike's performance, read the following link.

                            I wasn't speeding anywhere. The bad roads brought me down to 30 - 40 simply because I didn't want to go rumbling with a new bike.

                            Ground clearance hasn't bothered me until now. I haven't hit anything till date, which is quite surprising myself. When I purchased the bike, the guy explained to me clearly that the bottom part of the fairing is actually not the lowest part in the bike. When you look down, under the bike, a portion of the chasis can be seen, somewhere near the part where the monoshock sits. This part actually protrudes a little below the fairing. So if something actually gets hit, its gotta be this. And this can't really get damaged until the hit is very bad.

                              It IS the monoshock link!
                              The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!
