    I just bought this bike a few weeks ago, green colour and really attracts attention around because it looks great, not many people have this bike and it sounds really great. I like everything about the bike, but there are a few set backs I have experienced along these few weeks.
    1) The back seat is a bit high so pillion rider may feel uncomfortable and when I go to college with the bike my bag rests on the back seat and swings from side to side. Well I had to tighten my bag so the problem was mostly solved.
    2) No place to keep helmet, even though they have provided with a helmet lock under the seat the lock does not look so safe.
    3) During the rainy season mud does dirty my pants.
    I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.

        Not true. There is enough space under the seat to keep documents.

        @Horror - Congrats and welcome to the club

            Horror,
            Welcome to the club!
            The rear mudguard does not extend till the chassis and I have faced this problem too. The tyre sprays slush all over the engine (facing the rear tyre).

              How many of us

              So how many Twister owners do we have here on xBHP?
              Horror, HellsFury, BlackCatasus, R2Crawford and myself. That makes us FIVE.
              I happen to see the occasional Twister on Bangalore roads - I must have seen about 10 of them so far.

              Too bad, not many Twister owners are joining this forum!!

                  Hmm... I have seen just 3 or 4 twisters in mumbai, many stunners. Twister is a good bike. I just started to learn to drive and today night I went out for a ride. The problem I used to have was while starting the bike from first gear it used to give jerks if I left too much of the clutch or accelerated too much but I got over that now. When I drove today I had almost no problems. The acceleration is good haven't reved it to top speed yet, and I'm having fun with my new bike. Any tips on how to proctect it from rain and harsh weather??? How do I use the helmet lock given below the seat???

                      Better get your bike checked up. None of the other owners are experiencing vibrations above 60 km/h.

                            I'm in run in period.... 200 kms done, I did a really idiotic thing today. The thing is that you aren't supposed to place anything under the seat that blocks out the front portion because the carborator sucks air from there. My dad was told about this when he went to pick up the bike but he forgot to tell me, so today I tucked in a cloth under my seat and the bike didnt accelerate. As soon as I left the clutch in the first gear the bike shutoff. Later on the mechanic discovered the problem and told me about it. I was afraid my bike was gonna fall ill so soon, but to my relief it was just the cloth blocking the air supply.
                            A question:
                            Does the helmet lock for the twister given below the seat work?
                            And what happens if I drive my vehicle on choke for like 10 minutes because I forgot to shut it?
                            I would rather be riding my bike thinking of God, than sitting in the temple thinking of my bike.

                              Haven't tried it. I keep lugging my helmet everywhere I go.

                              I have no answer, but where do you live? Is it so cold that you need a choke?

                                Na I'm from mumbai, I've stopped using the choke now.... the bike starts within one kick. It's still in run-in period.
