@ icemang - i think the classic pulsar 2002 tool kit is not the same which is sold with current gen of pulsars, as to my knowledge it had different bolt changes and making uniformity part among all bajaj bolts came up later, In fact i think a first gen CBZ tool kit has 70% matching spanners, so you can even try that.

Dear Shrinath,

This is exactly what I had thought and feared. I'll try Juna Bazaar this week whilst on leave but I doubt I will get it there. Real problem, this tool kit is becoming...

@abhijitkn didnt get your point regarding trouble from autos...

In case of any accident or incident they will try to pound on you seeing different state number. True with local ppl as well. This is usual across other states as well. In fact many times Mumbai registered number plate face issues in Pune & other way around. If you are coming for long term (more than a year) then be prepared to register the bike under Maharashtra RTO. Though cops are lethargic in Pune but if you travel to Mumbai then it is exactly other way around. They will stop you without any reason & will check everything, registration papers, insurance, PUC, license try to get something out of it. For short term you might not travel much but long term give consideration to these pointers. This is my personal opinion. You can ask others as well.
Just go through the threads I mentioned you will get all the info.

Not a good idea to visit Konkan in Holi period as almost everybody (local public) take leaves and people dont find domestic help for catering tourists. Has faced this twice in Diveagar and Dapoli.

May be I have never experienced heard that Konkan people celebrate Holi the best.

Temporary Number

Anyone having any idea about how many kms i can drive my bike on a temporary number without being hassled by the Pune cops?

Officially... you can do 60 Kms.

But I managed to clock 100 Kms. The rule basically states that the bike can go from Distribution warehouse to Showroom to the RTO.

Just keep all your documents and a lil smooth talking should see you through, just make sure you do not leave city limits.

Dude i rode 1500 kms within Maharashtra using temporary number on my bike as the number and all took 1 month.

Registration Certificate these days comes via India Post's most *reliable* service. It could take anywhere between 2-5 weeks for the smart card to arrive. But we do get the no. from showroom before that.

@ both Dukers Why the delay in your case?

I have got clearance from RTO. Its just that the series is changing and they will allot the VVIP & VIP numbers first. So my number will come by Monday or Tuesday.
So i get to ride only 40 kms for 4 days !

Also, does anyone know the source of this 60 kms info? It would be handy in case the cops stop me (which i am certain of with my historical data)

After crossing 40kms, just beware to stay away from cops. Duck behind cars and buses. Still, when I got my RTR I managed to ride it for around 100kms before I got the first warning from a quite-friendly traffic constable (friendly coz he dint challan or seize the bike).

just take the noc for now.. that would be sufficient.. i brought my rtr from kerala 3 months before.. you can ride with 6 months without paying tax... by that time may be your place will be confirmed..
tips to survive from cop:
1) try to avoid pune station as possible... its sure atleast 1 policeman willl catch you there..
2) stick to what you say- first time when one guy,within 1 week, caught me even though i was having noc i had to give 200/- because i didnt know the rule... 2 times after that when they catch me.. i said there is rule that we can ride without paying tax for 6 months(simply said pune rto officials said like this to me) .. even though they didnt agree first i sticked to that and started arguing...they let me go.
