The bike was fun on the highway and the roads to Wagu were gravel and it was blast riding 4th gear on them.

Ride on NH44:
With October 2 being a holiday went on a ride to couple of dams hoping for the gates to open as it had been raining a lot in last week. Though water levels were high both dam gates were closed.
Started around 5.30 and got on to the NH44 to first reach Gaddenda Wagu Project around 9 am. The weather was pleasant and it was empty. Spent some time and then left for Sri Ram Sagar Project. Reached by 10.15 and spent 30 mins enjoying the view and pleasant weather.
Both locations were empty as I was quite early and it allowed for enjoying the views without much obstructions.

First Service:
The bike completed 950 kms which meant it had to go for service which was disappointing again even though I had low expectations. They confirmed the service centre opens @ 9 and I was there on time. But had to wait 45 mins for it to open.
Requested for break pad change and was told the most strange reason ever. They have done it on other bikes and the discs are getting bent so they are not doing it anymore. Decided not to ask for sprocket change for sanity.
Had only 2 requests, remove sari guard and ECU update as otherwise no complaints for the bike. Was promised delivery @1 pm at maximum but he said they would call and confirm anyways.
Never got the call, so decided to go and get it during lunch-break from work. Reached @2.45 and the bike was in the delivery area and the SA said it’s ready.
Which was not true as the Saree guard was still on, had to ask for it be removed and checked for ECU update which was also missed.
Both were completed while the bill was generated, got to know chain lube and cleaning is being done using cans and these will be provided back with what is left.
I had low expectations but even those are not being met. Will try and get the others changes outside and I am glad I have 15k kms before I need to visit again
Overall cost for 1 service was 2.712 which included oil change and chain products.
ECU update being done.
