I got it repaired for my bike, which included
1. repair scratches on right and front fairing
2. remove dent on tank
3. rechroming of top and bottom end of exhaust
4. repair scratches on exhaust
5. repair crack running from front to rear on my green tail cover

It costed me Rs. 8500. I got it done by KRP, Delhi. I did not claim insurance as I would have ended up paying more. They had done a great repair job. Loved their work on Tail cover and Exhaust chromes. Even if someone closely examines, then also, they won't be able to make out the repair work. These guys do repair work on Superbikes like R1, Fireblade, etc. Even if pieces are missing from fairing, then also they could mould it out.

Only problem is, I think, you are in Hyderabad and these guys are in Delhi.

upload a pic of bike now so that we can see work of krp.

I am in bangalore...

that job is pretty cheap ... please upload the pics..
I wish i could be in delhi...

how did you got the top chrome part of the silencer repaired... any suggestion... i checked it with prasanna he told that it is part of the silencer and the complete silencer needs to be replaced.. which would take 2 months..

Ninja get together on 19th in Bangalore at the PBK. Hope to see you guys there.

Here in Trivandrum, Kerala one new(only 200 kms clocked) ninja crashed. The pbk guys gave the estimate cost to insurance people is 4.5 lacs


I have one problem. Rust is forming in my silencer, in both the cromium end tip and the mat barrel. Anyone facing similiar problem???

It is normal in Kerala due to high humidity.

For an example, my pulsar silencer was full of rust before bringing it from Kerala to Bangalore. Now it's completely gone!!!!!

I'm surprised that the insurance had covered this much for your N250.

Is it Oriental insurance?

Wish something like this here in my place


. How tis possible?. Total cost of the bike is 3.02 lacs?

PBK quotes on crashed Ninja's are way over the top. The rule they follow is: Even if they see a small scratch after the crash on the big fairing, they will put the cost of the entire plastic on the estimate.

4+ lakhs is abnormally high. Maybe that is for a totalled bike since the sum of parts will be higher than the assembled deal. There are a lot of Ninja's coming in after crashes - hope this does not change the insurance rules in India, like how it is in other countries. This also goes to prove that these bikes are way too fast for India. And dangerous in hands of unskilled riders and young kids who get the Ninja as their 1st and 2nd bike.

Completely agree on this part. Assembling? Where?

Movers and Packers

Guys,

In all probabilities, I'll be moving to Kolkata from Mumbai by next month. Has anyone used movers and packers for their Ninja (for that matter, any premium bike)...query more on the lines of things to be careful bout and in case there are any dependable options...and if so, how much dent on the wallet...my company will be taking care of my moving bit thru their vendor (will get the name by next week)...pls suggest...thanks...

Had done a transfer of my bike (the bullet, not the NInja) throught GATI (there are others around but found these guys to be good) from Guwahati to Pune early this year and it came to around 3800 bucks excl packing. THe guys charge on a per weight basis and they charged me around 15 Re/Kg. This varies in into/from the region you are shipping. The same bike was send to Kerala on a 11 Re/Kg basis (bcos they thought I was an Army guy ) !!

So the dent on your wallet should be roughly in the region of 3K to 5K!!

Here is a break up
Freight = Bike wt * Charges/km
ROV charge = 200 bucks
Basic Charge = 175
Diesel Charge = 17.5% freight
Service Tax =12.5% of the total of above.

Quote the lowest weight as possible . There should be a weight on your RC book, should be the dry weight which could save u some money

My experience with GATI has been good. No problems in three transfers in the last year (except for a delay once). But make sure your bike is packed extremely well in bubble packing with hard card board over the bubbles. If ur a little apprehensive about the plastics, take off ur rear view mirrors, fairings and indicators and even the lamps and carry it with you when u fly.

Believe these guys dont offer insurance on their cargos and its the shippers risk. If you are concerned contact a bank for additional insurance on your cargo or ask these guys about the insurance. I didnt ask for the same bcos (it was a bullet!) Since your company would be paying, take the excess insurance. Take clear photos of your bike before just before you ship which would come in handy if something might happen to it in shipping. When you recieve the bike check thoroughly for damages and get it signed off (if there are any damages) by them if you want to claim insurance.

Hope this helps you.

Completely agree to the above... In fact, the Ninja that crashed in Kerala was rode by a 17yrs old kid. He actually crashed the bike quite near to the PBK showroom...

Welcome to Kolkata(in advance )

I transported My bike(Apache) from Siliguri to Kolkata,not through any courier though

but as your bike is a fully faired Bike
I guess you should remove the fairing before transporting it.Cause even when my bike was totally covered,it still got some scratches.

agreed

try good and reputed movers and packers like Agarwal Movers and Packers. They cover the cost of any damage done to the vehicle during transit. If possible click pictures before they start packing.
