#BikeMaintenance Is my scooter mechanic scamming me ?

• Upvotes

I gave my Yamaha Ray ZR 125 scooter to my mechanic for service and some repair work.

He’s made a bill of almost 8k and sent me, I’ve asked him not to start the service until I confirm.

Here’s the detailed breakdown:

General service 950
Engine oil and gearbox oil 560
Air filter 390
Oil filter 140
Real brake shoe 340
Water wash 150
Front fork oil seal and spring assembly kit 1950
Clutch lining assembly 1650
Clutch roller 560
Clutch greecing labour 300
Rear wheel bearing will bearing 540
Metre worm 410

All I needed done was :
1. Front wheel sound - maybe hanging cable/wobble hai ya kuch wo fix karna hai
2. Basic service
3. Throttle handle - gets stuck in 1st gear when bike is stationary
4. ⁠Tighten body panels
5. Theres a speedometer issue which is optional at this point

He says he’ll reduce labor give discount etc, however can anyone advise on is it better to give the scooty to Yamaha service centre instead ?

Hi folks,

I'm trying to identify the ticking/rattling noise from this 1.2 kappa engine in my 2019 I20 CVT 33000kms . AC is off. There also seems to be an oil spot on the plastic tray in the bottom. Do not know if both are related.

#CarMaintenance How is Skoda service in 2026?

3 Upvotes

hi everyone

im planning to buy a skoda slavia after seeing a lot of praise about it online, but I've heard a lot of complaints and criticism about skoda after sale services, maintenance, workshop availability and handling of customer service etc.

a relative had a skoda laura a few years back and is advising against skoda because of this reason.

how's your experience with skoda service been after owning the car? scheduled services, etc.?

(for context, im from delhi, east. if there are any delhi specific reviews as well, that would be great)

#CarRepair I scratched my sister's car while learning, how much will it cost to fix it??

It's a swift and i really don't know much about cars (ignore my username 😔) so how much will it cost to fix these scratches??

I have my driving test in a few days and this happened now 😣

(Let me rant about my amateur mistake, optional to read 😓) waste collecting autos all park on the opposite way of the main road in my area and all the workers annas occupy half of it chit chatting, another auto was coming crossing the road while turning towards me, i saw a little traffic piling up behind me so in that moment i managed to avoid the auto but caught the waste bag 🤧 my sister is gonna whoop my a\*\* 🥲 im not fully confident turning right so i turn left towards them, sigh... i'll avoid this road until I'm more confident.

Edit: My sister agreed on the advice to wait and see if I give her car a few more scratches 😅 and get them all fixed at once but really thanks to everyone I learned some important things and terms about car maintenance. I'll practice a lot, get my license, fit good quality front and rear cameras, learn about insurance and only then go on road and drive like a turtle (i mean follow speed limit).

Bajaj avenger

I always wanted to buy this bike. I'm getting this beauty for 75,000. It's 2022 street model, 11500 kms driven. Single owner. Should I buy it or buy a new one. On some threads I've read that getting new avenger is totally waste of money, one should go for 2nd hand. Any genuine advice would be appreciated.

Daily running is 10kms. Height is 5 feet 4 inches. Is it comfortable for city commute and I will be going to weekend rides for 40-50 kms.

Swift LXi - Petrol
2007
1.35L kms
Single owner, great machine and interiors condition, still gives decent mileage.
A guy asked me a price for it and is quite serious.

I would really appreciate some help with making a decision :
q. Should I sell or use it for a few more years as the condition is quite good actually, as I do not feel like getting in debt for a new one.
q. If I should sell, what is the bottom price I should settle for? (If the price is too low, I might as well use the car till it dies)

HELP ME TO GET BEST ENGINE OIL

1 Upvotes

Hey riders. I hope you are doing fine. Please help me to get the best engine oil. I completed 13k km on my honda hornet 2.0 in last 2.5 years, and done with 5 services. First 3 was free which was done at ASC. Stock oil was not that good. Then I tried motul 5100 10w30 and currently I'm using shell advance fuel save 10w30 (manual says to use 10w30). Both these oil works good till 2000km then they lose their properties and vibration starts showing.

I am planning to shift to motul 7100 10w40/ shell advance ultra 10w40 fully synthetic ones as there are not many options in 10w30. Is there any mileage drop or cold start issues in using 10w40 (currently getting 45kmpl+ in city riding). Please suggest the best engine oil according to your riding experience :-)

Any other suggestions are also welcomed

I want to sell my Kia Seltos HTX Plus DCT Petrol, polar white colour tan interior 2023 Model, driven 44,000 KM.
delhi registered
*About the car:*

  1. ⁠Model: Seltos HTX Plus DCT Petrol Top Model 2023
  2. ⁠KMs: 44,000 km
  3. ⁠Condition: Car is in excellent condition, as good as new. No scratches on seats, interior is very clean. Exterior is also very well maintained. New continental tyre just 2k driven with Seltos gt line alloys
  4. ⁠Only 1 door and 1 bumper is repainted, rest all original.
  5. ⁠I got the car checked at Kia company service center and everything is perfect.
  6. ⁠Insurance is new, I just got it done 7 days back for Rs. 20,000.

*Ownership details (Please read clearly):*
I bought this car 1 week ago as a second hand car. It was already second owner, so I am technically the 3rd owner. But the car is still NOT transferred to my name. RC is still on 2nd owner's name. So if you buy it, it will be transferred directly to you and you will be the 3rd owner on paper.

*Reason for selling:*
The car is perfect but DCT gearbox is not suitable for my daily use. My office is in a very high traffic area and I face issues in bumper to bumper traffic. That's why I want to sell this and buy a new seltos ivt No other reason.

*Price:*
I bought the car for Rs. 12.5 Lakhs + Rs. 20k Insurance = Total cost 12.70 Lakhs just 7 days ago.
I am ready to take a loss of up to Rs. 50,000.

Polo had great handling, solid build quality and an engaging driving experience.

For those who’ve owned or driven one, how does it compare with other hatchbacks in terms of driving dynamics, reliability and maintenance costs?
