I am back to write my second review on this bike. I have done 3000+ KMs on this bike. Guys, I am getting a decent mileage of 48-52 kmpl. I could get even more as I do heavy acceleration the mileage is decreased...;)
I have finished my second service for the bike. I have been facing some problems like
1.bad breaking at high speeds(80-95 kmph).
2.engine gets heated up for a long drive ie. by 25-30 km itself
3.too much noise of the engine when u go above 70 kmph
4.faulty fuel gauge especially when a heavy pillion is riding with you
5.the gear gets shifted from 1st to neutral automatically at traffic..
6.gear shifting is not soft (i have to press down much harder to shift it)
7.rear tyres are not so grippy on the road as said by BAJAJ.
8.the big problem which I face is that the engine gets off when u idle the engine for a long time say a minute or half in the traffic signals (can any one suggest a solution??? pls post it in the comments section..)
9.battery is not so good ie when u switch on both your headlights and the indicator with the buzzer the horn does not honks..(its only 5 month done with this bike)
10.Rear view mirrors are not so comfortable for u to see if you are taller than 5’8’’ (i am 6’ and I have much trouble as I have to bend much)
11.the stock seat is not so good u can’t use it for long rides not even for 20km in Chennai’s traffic or its heat its better u change it soon it gives u bad ache
12.also the rear suspension is not so good especially with a heavy pillion(my MOM) it gets hit till the end of the suspension....
the best I get from this bike is the milage and power
so what I want to tell u guys is that if u want a commuter and not a SPORT bike then you can go for this bike else you can try Pulsar 135 or CBZ extreme or Unicorn
this bike has an amazing torque but not top speed
as I could overtake a pulsar 150 at any signal but he overtakes me with his top speed
also it has boring old looks without any step seat or fairings
so if u r a college going guy who don’t want much looks take this bike
Guys don’t get fooled by its 150cc Engine
So my conclusion is that pls don’t compare this bike with other 150cc segments like pulsar, CBZ , Unicorn. Its a nice powerful commuter n not a sporty bike.
