useless review cos it has no clear points as to what is wrong and what efforts were done to rectify.

I just fitted a goldie silencer to by TBTS and it sounds AWESOME!!!!!!!! Oh man, what a difference it has made to the exhaust note. You guys with TBTS, you must try this.
Well, this is a great thing for me after feeling a bit disappointed with the overall performance.

Thanks for your kind replies fellow riders.
1. I refer to the noise in the engine, the clicking noise that is not there in the cast iron engines. That's the comparison I am making and not actually saying that my TBTS makes unusual noise.
2. The headlight problem is not of wattage, its the focu...sing itself. The light is getting scattered all over and not on the road, wasting the power of the lamp. I have fitted higher wattage bulb to check but no improvement in the focusing.
3. The rear tyre touches the mudguard on the inside of the right side air filter box. There is a wear mark on the box where the tyre rubs when riding doubles. It is reducing now because of 2 reasons, one the chain is stretching and the wheel is moving back after chain adjustment and two because the box now has been eaten away so the tyre does not come so close to it anymore.
4. I have run in the vehicle correctly and did not exceed the speed limits. Oil is leaking from near the starter motor, and was from the cylinder barrel. The barrel leak is no longer there but the starter leak is still there.
5. The service center guys I feel are doing their job. I actually do not have anything against them because they always have been nice to me and have attended to me. Its RE who must improve the quality of the TBTS.
I just feel that I should have bought the Electra 5S, that's all. Happy Riding.Read More

After much discussions, thoughts, sleepless nights, I finally decided on the TBTS. I had made up my mind on a Royal Enfield but was not sure of which model to go for. But after riding the TBTS for over 3, 000 Kms, I am beginning to regret the decision. I am looking to sell this of and buy an Ele...Read more

baby123, handle shaking and back pain? hmmm! appears that you are trying to fight the handle because handle shake and back pain can be connected only this way. you have mentioned that you were riding an activa for 7 years? its just teething problems of your mind and body getting used to a new machin...e, a different riding position and a new firm suspension. the front is firm because its a telescopic type and it will soften a bit as you ride it more and its a boon on bad roads. go to your service center and ride another flyte and see if its your vehicle that has the problem that you feel it has.Read More

thanks for a genuine review. i believe that the mileage should improve after about 1000kms of running. a little bit of patience now will yield good returns for a long time.
i am told by the kinetic company service engineers that its advisable not to squeeze much mileage out of any vehicle unti...l it runs at least 1000km because this is the bedding in period for the engine.
good luck to you on your new purchase and am sure that its a right one.Read More

appears to be more a review of some reviews rather than the actual review. just mileage feedback is given.

kannanji......do not worry. its perhaps you have been using an activa for several years i presume. change is always different. its kind of obvious from your post and ratings that you are happy overall but have some doubts. like kasyapk says, post on your long term experiences with the vehicle so we ...can learn from it too.Read More

no doubt, the flyte is the best scooter available today in the market. its clear from all the positive feedback from existing owners that the flyte delivers what it promises. i have 2 friends who own the flyte and they are very happy with it. of course they had little reservations at first but after... using it for over 2 months they are fully convinced that they have made the right choice.Read More

hey JINGARO, perhaps you are the one that we should not believe because there is no 100c Nova ever made. if you cant get facts about your own vehicle right, i am sorry, you are the one that cannot be trusted.

raoul_dinge, the Blaze is good only if you are going to use it sparingly and are willing to really take care of it daily. Else it will burn your pocket and your patience. Almost all heavily used Blaze vehicles have one problem after another non-stop and it ages very very fast. The Blaze is all show ...but no go!
So, it depends on what you want it for. A lot of show and attention then its the vehicle. But if you want pure trouble free commuting then its NOT for you.Read More

sajiainikkal..........I do not think that the Access will give more milage than the Flyte. Their claim of 60kmpl is for sure under 'ideal test conditions'. Under such conditions the Flyte too will give in excess of 60kmpl. I appreciate Kinetic in not going for any mileage claims for the Flyte in its... promotion. Its a genuine and good product that does not need to hide behind the test mileage figure to garner market share. I am quite sure that the excellent quality of the Flyte will do all the talking and walking. Cheers to Kinetic for 'finally' coming out with a decent product after 23 years. Yes 23 years back they launched the Kinetic Honda and since then nothing worth talking about honestly, until now that is.Read More

Lol....Euro? Is it that currency they use in Europe?
Never will be seen in India I presume. Its been doing rounds for over 4 years now threatening to be launched.

Not clear on the problems. Appears just some grouse for having to wait at the workshop during lunch time.

good for you. happy riding. but do you happen to work for kinetic? or someone close to you work for them? cos while your review was good it sounded a bit orchestrated. but if not, then all the best. you may be right. flyte has all the makings of becoming a market leader.

A 3 year old nova? And you are complaining like this? What do you expect a 3 year old Activa to be like? And by the way what is the ’’frame’’ you are talking about? The chassis? The headlight frame? The grabrail? You should always inspect the vehicle before you take delivery. No use going home and s...ee it the next day and feeling bad.
Your problem in the vehicle is nothing odd. The wheel bearing can fail, especially after 3 years. Considering the state of roads today it’s a wonder that it lasted 3 years.
I have a couple of friends who have a Nova 135 and an Activa and tell you what, apart from a few minor problems initially in the Nova, now the vehicle is running quite well. Actually comparing the running costs, I agree with payal dubey that the Activa, though it went for service less often than the Nova, has actually cost quite a lot more in terms of spares over the last 2 years.Read More
