A week or so I mis posted twice regarding a 97 Toyota and that everybody was picking on me. Because of a defect Toyota has offered to buy back my rusted 12...
Two things that really helped me with my confidence early on (other than a lot of practice and a course) were getting a better set of tires than the nylogrips...
I bought my 2005 Chetak 2 weeks ago, and was in the same situation: driven a manual car forever, never ridden a scooter. I practiced on the side streets around...

hey, just seeing if anyone else out there is riding in Minnesota, specifically in the St. Paul area. Does anyone know if there is a local riders group or...
I'd say that you'd do well to get in a decent amount of practice on your side streets before the course. Spend some time figuring out how to feather the...
My own experience, from starting on automatic scooters, is that I needed about 1000 miles to really begin getting comfortable in traffic. Many people are...
Update.. it's been over two months and I have to drive up to SFO to pick up my scooter. They can't get the parts and they won't authorize installation of a new...
so.... I got my bike today, a 2006 Chetak, and I think there may be a problem with the clutch. First, I noticed it was incredibly hard to shift gears at times....
Hi Eric we just bought a new Bajaj Chetak and had the same problem with the clutch, as well as stalling in first gear that you decribe. We took it in to a...
I had my new Chetak back to the shop 3 times in 2 weeks adjusting the clutch. I was told when they are new, the cable stretches and it needs to be adjusted....
Eric, Are you holding the clutch in for a long time before shifting? When you hold the clutch in for any length of time the gears slow down and (eventually)...
Thank you for the advice everyone, I am really fidning that this Bajaj community really helps each other out which is awesome! Yes, I think I am holding the...
That is likely the problem then. Keep in mind that the Chetak's gears are not synchronized. You need to put it in neutral at stops and let the clutch out fully...

I used a 4 foot pipe on the end of my ratchet for some extra leverage...worked like a charm. I'm in the East Bay, if you want to borrow it. Bailey beetle94707...
Just my opinion Roy.... The human body is probably far more sensitive to heat than the scoot. As long as your flywheel fan and engine shroud are in tact and...
If it's red Locktite, I believe you should be able to loosen the Locktite with a hairdryer or heat gun (but a heat gun obviously requires much caution). If...

Mike we have Bajaj Legend windshields in stock, we are out of the Chetak windshields. you can order the windshield from any Bajaj dealer. You must have the...
Hi, Bailey Thanks for the offer, but I've already tried that (well, OK it was only a 2-foot breaker bar), but that only lifted the back end of the scooter. ...
Hi, ethan I got it as hot as I dared with the propane torch, and I tend to agree with you about the dremel. The PITA is that the nearest dealer is an hour...
I loved this windshield, totally. After 8000 miles with this windshield, the vibration caused the metal in the mirror stem to fatigue and finally break off....
