Last Friday took my bike to my native place & on the way bike stopped all of a sudden & refused to accelerate. It came to a complete halt & engine was no more alive. Switched off the Ignition key & turned ON. Pushed the stater button & the engine was alive but rough. Maintained speeds around 80kmph & reached home. Gave it for service locally & the clutch plates were found to be fried. Only 250 ml of Oil was found. Crank shaft, magneto & bore were suspected. Since it has 5 years of engine warranty I asked them to change the clutch plates & oil alone. Changed the clutch cable, air filter element & spark plugs too. Took it to Jai Autos, Adyar, Chennai on Monday & they inpected the bike & asked me not to worry & everything will be covered under warranty. Gave it to them on Tuesday & it was expected to be delivered on Wednesday. Due to a valid reason it got delayed & today I went there by morning. They've changed the bore & piston. 3 brand new steel plates were found to be bent & they changed them too. Also the tensioner was changed. By evening bike was delivered to me. Total bill came to Rs.508 & the bike is back to form. Engine is smooth & normal. I'm sure if I check the oil level frequently I can expect even more life from this new bore piston set. Should I re-do running-in now due to new bore & piston... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
