    aryan nice idea mann..haven't tried kirti nagar but heard for its service...but that too in early days...but I've heard that you have to take a prior appointment and that to some 5days before...its too much crowded I guess

      Last time due to some malfunction in CO machine mechanic adjust my CO manually and guess what even the petrol rates are cheaper but my bikes fails to give a decent mileage not even 35(earlier used to get 40+)
      and along with that horrible pickup.
      Today went there and adjusted CO with the machine and its not even a 5mins job.

        Appointment can be taken care of, not to worry! But, I guess two or three of us (perhaps you, me and RX) can visit the Kirti Nagar PBK one fine day and see their level of service. The Okhla guys do a decent job (sans for this Nirma thing which has come to the light today!).

        I, for one am a satisfied customer. The Okhla PBK has done a really satisfactory job thus far on my P-200, but then again regular servicing is something that they are expected to do anyways. My machine hasn't thrown any tantrums uptil now (thankfully!), so I cannot really comment on their so called 'problem solving' skills (if they have any!)...

        But yes, I would really like to visit the Kirti Nagar PBK atleast once. I have heard from some fellow xBhpians that they are BETTER than PBK Okhla. So, there.
        :)

        • ^^^ Yea definitely..let's make a visit..even I'm just 1000kms away from my next service....and I'll be completing 20000kms...and still a very happy mann....
          PBK okhla has always impressed me but you have to stand on their head to do a decent service.
          A mechanic named as PREM...I'll say I always prefer him..no matter for how much time I wait..that guy has patience to do a his job

            Arrey ppl, I too said that was one of the satisfied customers. Just this Nirma thing has put a sour taste. Waisey Durgesh ji has confirmed that this Nirma thing will be discontinued

            • OKS Chain Lube Spray
              . This lubricant spray benefits a bike chain in many ways –
              • It is dust resistant and attracts far less dust than a conventional lubricant.
              • It is water repellant and is not affected even if the bike is used during rains.
              • It protects the chain from corrosion.
              • It is highly penetrative and will lubricate those parts of a chain, which are not lubricated by a normal lubricant.
              • It does not drip off the chain, either immediately after application or even 3000 km after application.
              • During service, the lubrication of the chain becomes far easier and quicker

              hey guys i got this mail this afternoon form oks of course
              well, nothing special, just felt to share with you guys out there....

                I will share my experience...
                I was using the Motul Spray and found that it vanishes very soon...too expensive. Last service the PBK mech used OKS and it is going strong even after 1000 km. The chain looks and sounds fine. I wont say that it is splatter resistant but yes, as compared to other solutions that I have tried till date, this is a better one.
                Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

                    well, nothing special, just felt to share with you guys out there....
                    some reviews from my side...But not of chain sprays but of grade90 oil. using it since got to know that PBK using old engine oil to lubricate your chains...So got this castrol grade90...saw it for the first time..its damm thick. Once I started pouring over the chain, this oil was looking as if it will stick to chain(thickness) and just 2 complete rounds of oiling it and hassal free ride for around 600-700kms...I find it convinient for me, but yea oil does spills on the rims. So, little more work of cleaning it up. Overall rating : very happy
                    and completing 20K kms..19 months..Just some minor problems of vibrations and CO adjustment otherwise the ride is perfectly smooth with normal petrol(BP)
                    its all about CC...

                      • ^^^ rajasthan is my hometown...love to ride on highways. Been to udaipur and chittorgarh many times. Just one thing lacks over there, people don't know the importance of riding gears and in spite of national highways filled with trucks and loads of accident.

                          This is not only the case with Rajasthan. People, in general just DO NOT know the importance of as simple a thing as a lid, forget "riding gears"!! Welcome to INDIA! Welcome home...

                          Anyhow, let's not veer onto OTs and stuff.
                          @Rohit: Where did you procure the grade90 oil from, here in Delhi? I am looking for the same for my machine's 'O-Ring' chain. Please help.

                                Delhi has got 3 PBK Service Centres. They recommend us to take prior appointment but atleast for Okhla PBK, if you reach early then there is no hassles. I think they have got some cut offs (20-25 bikes) for a day.

                                NCR has got seperate PBK SS I believe

                                OKS is good then I am using it
