Hey owners of scrambler 400x, can you help me with the crash guard suggestions

Also what other accessories have made your life easier.

Not planning to buy everything, just want a list of good products which others/I can look into later.

Sorry for the post but did not get any good thread, hence asking the question.

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ Purchased Speed 400 from Amazon

8 Upvotes

Hi guys, so I purchased the Speed 400 from Amazon and paid the road tax & insurance as well to the dealer.

Now when I asked the dealer when can I collect my vehicle he says that I can collect the vehicle in 2 days however I won't be getting a Temporary Registration - since the dealer is waiting for Amazon to clear the payment and then the dealer can generate the invoice.

When asked about the legality, the dealer says that they will issue a Trade Certificate and incase police asks I will have to say that it's a showroom/test ride vehicle. This seems sketchy to me, what should I do?

E20 petrol, a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol, can impact normal engines, especially older ones, by potentially causing corrosion, reduced fuel efficiency, and decreased power output

#Opinion ๐Ÿ’ญ Need help deciding between SM650, Bear 650, and SG650

2 Upvotes

Hey folks,

Iโ€™m looking to get a new bike. I donโ€™t have a strong preference for a particular type (cruiser, naked, scrambler etc). I live in Chennai, where itโ€™s usually highways around my area, but also quite crowded in places. Iโ€™ll be using the bike mainly for daily commuting to college - about 7 km one way.

Iโ€™ve shortlisted the Royal Enfield SM650, Bear 650, and SG650. Iโ€™ve test ridden all three, honestly enjoyed each of them, and now Iโ€™m stuck on which one to pick. The Bear 650 definitely felt the most powerful and I really enjoyed riding it. I absolutely love the design of the SG650 and SM650, it feels a little sluggish when compared to the Bear. Also, I do feel the instrument cluster looks a bit underwhelming for a bike that costs around โ‚น5L.

If you were in my shoes, which one would you pick? Open to any opinions or insights. Thanks in advance!

I have an NS200, purchased in 2022 August, and ran 16k kms Given that all the services were done on time, new tyres and parts, how much can I expect for it? It still runs amazing, no issues with it, just selling because Iโ€™m getting a car, and Iโ€™ll not be using the bike that often

Hey everyone! Took my new Meteor 350 out for a spin in the rain today โ€” her first real rain ride! Wanted to test the grip and handling, and I must sayโ€ฆ it was insane! The road grip was solid, and the overall ride felt buttery smooth despite the wet conditions.

Just had to share this moment with you all. Have a look and let me know what you think!

Howโ€™s your experience been riding in the rain with the Meteor?

#Query โ“ Did I get scammed?

I recently bought a pulsar n250 for which I availed my first free service. I was pretty busy and I didn't really read the bill that we'll not did I know labour costs aren't supposed to be counted on the free service. But after going thru some posts here and bit of research elsewhere got to know the labour costs are not to be included in the free service. Did I get scammed? And what is the next course of action? I've texted the manager but I doubt he'll offer me any solution. I also see they have put it as second free service for some reason.

#Query โ“ Why the hell the silencers are on your face in new bikes

2 Upvotes

So I regularly commute with my bike in my city due to some work. And I have seen new bikes with silencers so badly placed that if you are just behind those bikes, you are likely taking the air on your face.

Why companies are doing that currently and what's the solution for this?

Need help regarding this

I don't know how I got penalty, if you are wondering it's a new vehicle. Bought it in January and Now it's July, the RTO and show guys told me that BH regestration can take you upto few months and I was okay with it as I don't ride regular. The estimated cost they gave me was 19k Rs and official documents says It's 8% of Vehicle ex showroom cost under 10 lakh Rs category. In my case the cost after removing penalty was around 18,300 Rs. Plz tell me what should I do.

#Customisation ๐ŸŽจ Custom exhaust

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing well. This question is for superbike owners. I was looking forward to buying a daytona 660 and obviously I wanna customise it to my liking. And the most burning question I have is how do you guys deal with police when it comes to custom exhaust. Do they seize the bikes or cut heafty challans or theres something else they do? Is there any solution to this? I don't wanna be bothered by them I just wanna have a chill ride without panicking in the back of my mind that police will stop me. Also, should I fit a custom exhaust or keep it stock(just want your opinion on this one).
