I checked and re-checked. So the fears of metal stuff grinding your engine of you don't change your oil is all bumkin.
    What oil are you using now?

    I know the feeling dude , I am also on the list.
    While booking I had asked Janaki about the ratio of the delivered bikes' colours, and he said it would be 50:50. But its far from it. Bajaj could look at numbers, the ordered colours, and despatch bikes accordingly...

    Anyway, some guys have been allotted bikes in Pune recently, so the channel is not totally dry. I hope our prayers would also be answered soon

    At this moment, we can just wait... and keep shopping

    Just got of the phone with the bangalore probiking manager. He told me 7 Ninjas have been delivered in Bangalore.

    You won't understand the sudden rush of anger, as I was no. 6 on the wait list.

    But thats when he told me out of the 7, 5 were black and I have booked for Green.

    Hence in the next lot I would only get the Bike if they get 3 Greens.

    So all u Blackies out there... see how rare a green Ninja is

    I am sure your bike is also allotted.
    Desertfox - Thanks mate. I called up Probiking after reading your post. They told me that the bike has been alloted and i will get the 3rd Green bike in the new lot. Also they told me to pay the balance amount. Like you said; I will pay them tomorrow (Sat) the remaining amount
    Hope we get it by this month end
