    I suggest, keep it, fix it, ride it! Cheaper that way!

    About the electrical part, I'm not sure which part you are planning on changing, if its anything common between the Dts-i and Fi there shouldn't be an issue with changing it.
    Its not common to dtsi and dtsfi. The whole wiring series for Fi is xxx62. For dtsi its either xxxx61 or xxxx60

And hope you will under the 5 year warranty but ask about the wiring. So why can't email your query to Bajaj customer care? You need a gud mechanic from PBK to solve the other problems,ie valve clearence,fuel filter replacement,engine and injector flush, fuel ratio adjust,Air filter replacement, chain sprocket check and cluch reload etc. I am damn sure the Bike will be alright after the complete check up. So why you investing extra 1.5 for a new bike?
    Yep i have had multiple electrical problems, thankfully no mechanical :-)
    A list, as far as i can remember :-)
    1. 2 roll over sensor changes
    2. 2 speedo sensor changes
    3. Battery changed (which is ok)
    4. Relays changed almost every few months.

    Am used to its nakhras

    The definition of Good Mechanic is very diluted here in Gugaon. I specifically told them what the problem was, went away to office and when i came back, they had done nothing. The guys didn't even bother to check that the engine was misfiring and after washing, the bike was not even starting Anyway got it back to service bay for the check up. Have already got the things mentioned by you, done. Its the clutch thats left. Will check if i can get this electrical wiring series in Delhi atleast.

      See finally it depends on what "rim width" the tyre is designed for, the final profile of the tyre will depends on that. Eg: I am currently running a 90/90 front tyre, which is exactly the same as stock. But the tyre is designed for a wider rim, and the profile formed is more rounded and straightline contact patch is lesser than stock.

      Btw, there is a good tyre from VeeRubber which is 130/80. Pretty good, but very very soft compound will finish off in 10K kms.

      Then stick to the Dts-Fi wiring set only.

      There is some prob with your bike that is causing these troubles.I I've only had the roll over sensor changed once, that too because it came defective from factory and was changed within the first 5K kms. But yes, I'm on my third battery in 3 years!!

      After a wash misfiring, means there is a shot somewhere either under the seat wires or around the battery area.

      Its best you got your complete wiring replaced and then proceed with trouble shooting the bikes issues. I thought the PBK's at NCR were pretty competent. Contact MG if you want some PBK related dhakka to get things working.

      For all things electrical I would advise you to stick to PBK only.

        Yes...you are right, sensible mechanics are lacking every where. Dont worry. Use your customer rights..write to Bajaj with immediate effect. A crying baby only gets the milk

        • Guys going to change the rear tyre in the weekend should i go for the VYDE or SIRAC? my driving conditions are mostly in city i occasionally ride on highways & i want the tyre which provides superb handling and good grip on wet roads.
          So which tyre is best suited for my riding style any other tyre suggestions are welcome heared that sirac increases the speed at all rpms is that true?

            Hey bro, I am using vyde,and no issues till date But if you need extra good grip in all terrain and all weather conditions then it is SIRAC.

                Bro but in city traffic conditions does sirac survive well? i think sirac is best suitable for regular high way riders and tourers but iam not a tourer or regular highway rider iam a heavy city rider & i rarely hit the highways.
                Thats why asking does the sirac suits to my driving conditions?

                • Vyde and Sirac suffer from one problem which make them bad for city. They loose straightline grip under heavy braking.

                  But over since you are a city rider stick to Vyde, the acceleration drop in Sirac is something you can do without in city!

                        Same size, don't know about costs now. 2 years back when I tried it, it was about 1.6K.

                          • These days.. (till about 1 month back) prices of the tyres in Pune

                            Stock MRF: Rs.2400
                            Zapper VYDE : Rs.2700
                            Michelin Sirac : Rs.2800

                            Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                              I bought my Vyde here in Bangalore. Its a soft compound tyre, it lasted me only about 10K kms. If you can open images linked from facebook, here's a shot of what my Vyde at 15K kms looked like...just before I put the Sirac



                              Stock tyres lasted me about 20-22K, I ran them for 25K!

                              @Antz.Bin: WTF!!!! 2.4K for stock tyres and 2.7K for Vyde! Shite... I'm never buying a MRF
