2009 Bajaj Rouser KBR200 from Philippines

Summary:

When I bought this, I made the right decision

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with it yet, although I have a couple of small gripes. The key lock, which holds one of the side panel covers on, is loose and rattles because there is a rubber retainer missing from the other side of the panel. The other panel has one, which is how I know it's missing. Also, the under-seat straps to hold the tool kit in place were never supplied, and the tools were just handed to me as they can't be stored under the seat without the straps.

It doesn't look like the store where I bought it from have any idea where to get hold of the parts.

I'm also not happy that the manual supplied does not list the valve tappet clearances, so my mechanic had to guess until I could locate them online.

General Comments:

Very nice bike. Rides well, and for what I consider a small bike, it gets a lot of looks.

So far, very reliable and smooth ride, although it could do with a disk brake at the rear.

Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
