[Resolved]  TVS victor GL — Fuel Tank Leak

Hi

I bought my TVS Victor GL in 2003 and it's been 6 years now. While I din't have any major issues with the bike except for some initial mis-firings and so on, I have two major complaints:

1. Service cost is very high, this time around the engineers told me that a half-engine overhaul was required and fleezed 6000 bucks from me. While I understand that these bikes generally go for an overhaul sometime after 8 yrs and not before that.

2. Fuel tank is real bad, within the first 3 yrs of buying the bike, it developed a hole on the right side bottom and I fixed it with M-Seal and now after 6 years these holes have come all over the right side front part wherein I have to replace the tank which is going to cost me 3200 + labour charges. This is ridicolous, at least TVS should ensure fuel tank parts are made from the best non corrosive material available!! we paid a hefty sum for this bike in 2003 for which I think at least we deserve that the parts are good material and a wear and tear would take atleast a decade and not 3 yrs and 6 yrs!!

Please forward this complaint to TVS and let them understand the agony we go through
