    called up pacer at abt 2:30 pm and asked for the status. They asked me come and get the bike. Reached there at around 4:00. and found they had just washed my bike. Was pissed of at the guy and asked him to give back the bike. The quy in-charge apologized and asked me to wait for abt 20 mins to get the job done.. But I had to wait to for an hour and half .. the mechanic who attended by bike was ok.. he stripped down the tail of the bike and checked for the swingarm alignment. Finally he concluded that there was indeed swing-arm bend.. but no chassis bend .. Will post the pics by night..

    Now the question is the cost of fixing the swingarm.. yesterday the person-in-charge told that it would cost around Rs 3000(excluding chassis alignment) and will finish things in no time.. todays he says that it would take only Rs 750 + tax

    Will take the bike tomorrow to perfect riders. Lets see what those guys have to say..

    Thanks everyone for ur suggestions..

        The back wheel was not aligned with the tail/mudguard.. Didnt notice that before.. This convinced me that there is an issue with the swing-arm. Can that be taken as a sign?

          Cant tell anything without seeing it.. even the tail/mudguard assembly can be bent right, post few pics if possible

              • hmnnn wats goin on in this ownership thread now a days have logged after ages....

                OK one crappy update regarding my bike

                I got my side pannel replaced from Orion, i think i got the call too early as compared to others!
                But the best part is... they replaced the side fairing (matt finished one) and the indicator too i noticed it after coming back to home..... who cares to go back to that hell and ask them! any ways its worth having this pleasure after all.

                      Thats a very good deal in that cost. Looks very good. BTW how is the comfort level and ventilation?

                        After seeing this video, I love my R15 even more...Guess why? Till now I had noticed the similarity in the stickering etc.between the R1&the R15, but after hearing the sound of the R1, I just realized that the R15 even SOUNDS like the R1!

                          Thanx, yeah i got an excellent deal. The comfort is good but a little loose because the medium size was a little to tight for my hands. Ventilation is also very good, wore them yesterday and rode in city traffic for about half an hour, my hands could easily feel the cool evening breeze coming in through the ventilation holes. Must say a good purchase.

                            Is that so? I was under the impression that its only the side middle fairing thats being replaced??

                              • they replace only the upper right fairing .. not the matte part (from black) nor the indicator .. looks like santa was lucky.
