I took a second hand Bajaj Saffire two months back for 8000 Rs.. Before purchasing I had seen its reviews on the internet which said it is not worth taking. But that time I thought on internet people write anything. But it is not at all true. Bajaj Saffire is the worst vehicle i’ve ever seen. Now I realised how worst that vehicle is.
In two months I stuck up on the road in between for 13 times. And out of that 3 times was stuck up because the Piston in the engine was jammed. Once the piston has gone the valve also bends and the ring bearing in it has to be changed. Also packing for piston, valve and bearing has to be put new. And new engine oil is to be put. All this costs nearly 1700 Rs. (WITHOUT LABOUR CHARGES) All this happened to me 3 times. 6 times the clutch was reset and cleaned because the bike didnt used to get start if we dont use it for 24 hours. Also the body is made of fibre which breaks easily if at all we meet with an accident. Thrice the silencer pipe was released from the engine because the fitting originally made is not at all good.
Also we do not get spare parts easily. Mileage is the worst. It hardly gives a mileage of 30 to 32 KMPL. Also it drinks Engine Oil like anything. It eats up 500 ml engine oil in a week. And if u fail to put the engine oil it will start giving problems.
Finally after all this I decided to sell the bike. Finally I got a buyer who is willing to pay 8000 Rs. the same price in which I purchased the bike. But all my money was wasted in repairs.
One thing about the bike I like is the power it has got. The power is superb. Pick up is the best but if that power is going from ur pocket then whats the use !!!
All in All I say PLEASE TRUST PEOPLE WHO WRITE THE REVIEW ON INTERNET AND NEVER GO FOR A SAFFIRE OTHERWISE U WILL SUFFER WITH THE SAFFIRE
