Well folks , after reading the opinion of the readers on mouthshut.com I finally was convinced to buy the DLX Gladiator, I was about to buy the honda shine , but because of the dealers poor response, and Lack of Self Start I did not go for the shine.
In the first few days I was really gliding on my Gladiator, then all of a sudden, After about twenty days of using the bike, I am facing a bit of a problem , the Bike suddenly went off two times on the road, I tried to self start the same but it would not , then I used the Kick start and say after 5-6 kicks I manged to get the bike running, the second time too it was the same amount of kicking and cursing.
Secondly the disk make some funny sound, first few days the sound was diffrent that was the disk pads wearing sound , but now the sound is somewhat diffrent and much of a concern
The self start does not engage, I just hear a slight noise and thats it, I shall be servicing the bike soon and hopefully the problem should be solved.
secondly if the bike is not warm it needs atleast 5 kicks to get it running, my mother always makes fun of me in the morning when I try to start the bike saying that the company has given you a second hand bike.
Well shall keep you folks updated on my frank review on the gladiator, I pray that the Pros are higher than the cons ..........
