Issues face in last 3 years.
1)Gear selector spring damaged at 11,000 kms.
2)Front brake pad changed at 12,000 kms
3)Rear brake pads gets replaced after 3000 kms.
I used it a lot before practicing engine braking, proper gear shifting & double braking, now I just have clean them at 3,000 kms replacement at 6,000 kms.
Certain good things:
1) I installed Anti theft alarm after 1 year & used it for atleast 18 months before removing it, wires of this aftermarket anti theft alarm were not good quality was on verge of short circuit.
2) 4 LED & Circular DRL headlamp installed being using it for 20 months works perfecr should have installed a protective film, developed lot of scratches by mischief kids.
3) Similarly kids, cats sometimes even watchmen walking & banging stick to ground in night near my Avenger sets off alarm. I personally got tired of hearing it everyday.
4) Even after using such a high consumption LED Headlamp & alarm for 20 months, battery is still working fine, many changed after 2 year
5) My trusted mechanic said many Avenger owners change Chain sprocket at 14,000 kms, mine is still good at 19,000 kms obviously will change at 20,000kms
6) Tire TVS Eurogrip were good for 2 months when new not good after that.
Go with 160 will get good mileage than 220 also, lack Oil cooler means less thing to worry about maintaining it.
One tip, use Motul mineral oil till 12,000 kms
Motul semi synthetic after 18,000 kms
& Motul fully synthetic after 24,000 kms
Use engine flush while changing oil type i.e. from Mineral Oil to Semi Synthetic (12,000 kms) & from Semi synthetic to Fully synthetic(18,000kms). Just twice not more than that. Bajaj service center will force you to use it every time while oil change, don't go for it.
