What is your go-to service center here at Chennai? I take my Scrambler 400X to Triumph SC Mogappair and some costs are not really adding up, (for instance some members mentioned it costs around 750 rs for handlebar alone non-inclusive of labor, while I got a quote of 1400 rs)
Is it too expensive? Should I take it to a different SC? Any of your experiences supporting this or against this is helpful.
So my Scrambler 400X is 3 months old now and about a month ago I had a fall in an uneven grass ruts, it wasnt a very substantial fall but it was a pretty hard fall. After picking the bike back up and setting things back in place (i.e the knuckleguard got displaced quite a bit so I had to move it back to its place), the bike felt just a little awkward but I just brushed it off thinking it was just the post-fall adrenaline making me imagining things.
Last week a good friend of mine took my bike for a ride and he immediately told me that he felt the right side of the handlebar felt a bit off. And he wasn't wrong, I started to feel it myself after his statement so I took it to the SC today and they told me that the handlebar was basically bent unevenly and it has to be replaced (2.6k approx. Inclusive of all charges)
Now replacing the handlebar is not a big problem for me, but I feel like this handlebar is definitely on the weaker end.
Although I dont drop this bike like everyday, I want to know if there is any alternatives that are present that is much stronger than the stock one or should I just go with the stock one and hopefully keep the thing in one piece?
Im open for any suggestions.
Almost exactly 3 months old now and has seen a fair bit of offroad terrains, broken patches, highways and city traffic. Yet just performs gracefully through it all, such a beautiful does-it-all machine for real.
Although I'm limiting myself from taking it out during the daytime because it feels like deathrider of how hot the bike gets and the weather ain't helping 😬, so its just early morning runs or late evening/night rides.
