This is the vehicle I had to go to college by in PUC. Man this vehicle sux to the core. The problems are innumerable. If you say you've got a Shakti n have no probs then you've just had it for a month or two.
THe problems start soon after three months. First the clutch goes vamoose then the tyres - you tend to get a egg ( deformation ). How many times you repair depends on your pocket. This vehicle practically cleans out your pockets spik n span. Riding is tolerable but harsh. You've to struggle to stay on the seat coz of the vibrations. Your hands get numb after say 10-12 kms. Its just impossible to ride it after 15 km. The engine gets so heated up that you feel it on your legs. The gear adjustment is simple yet difficult. You miss it by a hairline n you are facing the problem of either having to jump from 1st directly to 3rd or starting at 2nd. As if all these weren't enough, it really sucks up all the petrol after 6 months. You are reaaallly lucky to have a fuel efficiency of 40. I used to get an unbelievable -- hold your breath 20 kmpl at the time I sold it. I had got sick n tired of it. It spent more time at the garage than with me.
Whatever others may say, this is no vehicle at all. In fact I say lunas are better, they give no probs like these.
So as far as it goes try n forget about it.
