I have been using this bike from past 4 yrs and completed 20, 000 kms. Even now I get a good fuel economy of 55-58 kmpl.


Initially within a month I faced a problem with the tube in front tyre which had already worn out and 2 time puncture fix was of no use which gave up with 1 month again. On the 3rd month I replaced with new tube and that's it. Never had any problem after that up to 3rd year.


After 3 years and running 12, 000 km the electrical parts started giving up, first the light in the odometer, then the key would not position properly and so the circuit was not complete. I have to adjust it to 2-3 times to get in position until the neutral indicator glows.


Only then I could start (kick or ES) and after moving for 10 meter the key again goes out of position due to vibration and the side indicators/horn/tail lamp does not work. However this did not stop the engine or head lamp but I realize only when I try to honk or use side indicators and even the break light/tail lamp wouldn't glow.


I try to adjust the key while driving and some time it works, if it does not I use hand signal and fix it on the next traffic signal.


This is not a big problem but can be really dangerous when the tail lamp does not glow after applying the breaks but have not been hit from back until today because of this. Last month the speedometer/odometer stopped working, need to check what the problem is and again not a major issue.


The service stations in Bangalore are pretty OK, never had any major complaint from service station at Bridgestone, Rajajinagar.


There was some bad engine tuning due to which the mileage dropped to 40kmpl, however was rectified after visit to service station within a week.


During cold season there is starting problem in the mornings (4-5 kicks) and also if not started for more than 2 days even during summer.


I mostly use for city driving with 30km per day and sometime take it out on highway on weekend for 200-300km, never had any problem during these years on the road and ride was comfortable too since the seating position is upright, had get down once in 100km to relax.


I am pretty heavy 75 kg and my friend 80kg and bike never struggled to pull us both on and was always smooth ride.


After 3years of riding I took company transport service and was mostly ideal during week, and would take out at weekend and run around 70-100km, during this last one year drove only 2000km and got serviced only once, but never had any problem.


In all a good bike if you are looking for decent power along with good fuel economy, especially if you and your partner are bulky. A true family bike without compromise on style. Go for it!
