    Chassis bend are hard to find man, you should feel it when u ride the bike, and don't say you crashed in track, say you just fell like that to the insurance guys
    First, I want to make sure that there is Chassis bend. Any way I can figure that out?

      I have absolutely no clue what you meant by this, but in case you were being sarcastic, motorcycle frames are meant to withstand the flexes that come about during riding. Not the ones from crashes. This is true for everything from a CD100 to the RC212V.

        From the crash u mentioned I seriously doubt that a chassis can bend!!! Do u feel anything weird while taking high-speed corners or riding fast etc. ?
        To determine the truth, I think u will have to strip the bike off all the fairing, engine et al and see. But better still, since ur at Bangy I wud suggest u meet up guys like Mithun, Navnish, Santa, Joel etc, ask them to try ur bike and u try their's to evaluate if there is any difference between them.

            Wreck the bike!!! that would be my last option.

              I rode all the way from Chennai to Bangalore after the crash man.. Did 130+ without any issue.

              I dont see any issues with cornering also. But I dont think I ll be able to figure out minor issues.

                And i can assure you there will be no chassis bend man, i have ridden bikes with light chassis bends and breaking will go for toss for these bikes..

                How do u feel when u break suddenly

                  can you go to pacer and ask them for a explanation may be take a pic if the bend / break is visible ... that would make more sense ..

                    I would be more than happy if one of u can have a look at my bike. Please let me know if anyone can find time. I live near Domlur. I plan to get the bike tomorrow.

                        That was a direct reply to the idiotic suggestion made by the Service center that the chassis had bent for his R15. The DB frame has proved its mettle. I have no reason to throw any form of sarcasm towards the DB frame. Even if I did, it wouldn't matter cuz then I would be a fool.

                        I am pretty certain, as most members here are saying, taking into account what Sajiv said about his fall, that there shouldn't be anything wrong with his R15 frame.

                          The bike always felt planted under braking.

                            Get it checked in other service center once and don't mention anything about the chassis bend, just ask them to try to your bike..

                                Thanks man.. Will pm my number/Address.

                                Called up pacer motors again. Asked him not to do anything and just change engine-oil. According to him everything is computerised and would fix the issues in no time. Now he is asking me to atleast check the swingarm(as my silencer is banged up). Without the chassis rectification, it would take Rs 3000 it seems.

                                Need to check with another service center (probably perfect-riders).
