First service update:
Odometer reading- 950 kms
Recommended service interval:
The Plan:
"When you work in a 6 day/week- 12 hours/day job, everything needs to be planned.
Add to that, the nearest ASC is 15kms away from home.
Luckily, the ASC is open on Sundays."
The service:
Reached the ASC around 9.30 am so that can collect the vehicle and reach Home by lunch.
As expected, the floor manager said they can deliver the vehicle only by 5pm.
Tried waiting till 11.30 am, with no progress tried to make use of my only day off.
The test ride:
1.5km walk away from ASC, there are- KTM, Bajaj, TVS and Aprilia showrooms!
Went to Bajaj to test the NS 400Z. The showroom guy was professional and gave me the keys after few forms.
About the ride, of course I felt the increase in power from my SF 250 but there was no "upgraded" feeling. And the buzz from tank is definitely a let off.
Eagerly went to KTM, only to be disappointed by rejection for the lack of shoes for a test ride.
The lunch:
On one side losing your valuable day off is a bummer, the other side it is time for a peaceful, solo outside lunch (My kid being a toddler, peaceful meal is a luxury nowadays ).
Found a newly opened Domino's outlet and I generally don't miss the newly inaugurated Domino's outlets as they are liberal with the "cheese they put on their pizza"
Happily, me being the only customer, the pizza was delicious and full.
The service:
Coming back to the ASC, my vehicle was yet to be taken for service!
After some whining, finally the technician took the vehicle for a test ride in a trademark "full throttle mechanic style"
Vehicle was washed and again was waiting for the technician. Took a nap and half hour later, the vehicle was ready. God knows what "servicing" they did.
Took another 30 mins for billing and finally was about to leave, instinct telling something is wrong- checked the boot to find that my charger was missing!.
5 mins later, left along with charger.
Tata bye bye, see you @ 5000 kms.
