  • Ariz, all you have is the receipt of purchase from the showroom. You don't have the bill of lading with you, do you?

    Do you have any idea how much duty was paid by Yamaha for your MT?

        • Wow,
          DRI hai hai , DRI hai hai !
          hmm ... hello guys , sorry had gone to Patna, and had no internet there...
          I am glad the DRI menace is not present in kolkata as much as in mumbai. Its a pity, having sleepless nights after buying your dream bikes !

          • Is the DRI hassle only limited to mumbai or has it also spread to other cities, anyone heard anything

            • Talk about it! Thinking of your dream, your love towed away by some creep who understand none of it (even if it is legal) makes your days hell as well. A living hell where there is no vent out...

                Sorry last OT post

                I don't have BOL neither do I know how much duty Yam paid. Similarly I don't have BOL and duty paid info on my car, on my laptop and several other imported items which are legally sold in the Indian market mainly by MNCs.

                As far as I'm concerned (practically and legally) my product is Indian; I don't care whether the manufacturer produced it locally or imported it. The GOM of Maharashtra charged tax on it, the MCGM charged Octroi on, etc. You know where I'm getting with this

                Lastly, the DRI have my bike's info, my address, etc. if they wanted to they could have visited my house right now.

                        • hey guys ... went to a short trip today ... details later but bike got really dirty !
                          Umm anyway, i went to a local petrol pump to get her a wash.
                          The guy there first did a water wash, then sprayed diesel !!! I was like what the hell is this, he said its good for blah blah ..
                          Well, anyway .. after that, because of diesel getting into disc brakes, the braking has reduced by around 60 % !!! i am not kiddin. And for a superbike, thats the difference between life and death.
                          Well, I am never gonna go again for that wash, but got any idea how to clean the brakes now ?
                          Also , is this diesel wash bad for any parts ? like some plastic etc ?

                          • Yes it is. Sometimes it damages paint too.

                            Get ur bike washed thouroughly with a good car shampoo ASAP , so that all the diesel is washed away.
                            When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

                            • We had a grand ride today, albeit, with a few sore points (more on that later).
                              Me, Fireblah, Jonak and Ani. All members of xbhp. I'll wait for the pictures to flood in to really make jaws drop..... But in short the ride was good.

                              @ Fireblah- plastics can get warped because of petrol based products. So do you see any decolourisation? Or any warpage/irregularity in plastic? If not, immediately wash the diesel coat of with mild shampoo and cleanse it with water..... About the brakes, using the same shampoo, wash the discs first, and then try spraying a jet of water into the disc pads. Since you dont have a mainstand yet, I dont know how to lift the front wheel off the ground, but that would make the job easier.

                              • ^^yes just clean it with a good shampoo and you will get back your brakes bite once more but it will take some time i think.
