Damage Details

• Damage to Clutch 

As our commitment, we will deliver a clutch in excellent condition and if you report any issues in the first 2 days .. we will replace it free of cost .. We proactively change clutch and maintain a schedule for its timely replacement

But if clutch or brakes burn out happens in the middle of the trip or towards the end of the trip, then cost is to be borne by you .. Since this is purely dependent on how the rider rides. Please do note that when you replace the clutch, the oil / filter is also changed so this is replaced as a full set 

Burning of Spark Plug is charges at full 

• Damages to Shockers / Chains / alternators / wiring 

You are not responsible for any oil / battery / Shocker / engine related issues/ air / oil filters as these are part of regular maintenance of the bike

• Tyre & Tube 

Mechanic are frequently available on the circuit and can fix a puncture .. But if the rider rides on flat tyre and destroys the tube/tyre, cost of tube/tyre will be borne by rider on pro rata basis .. A rider on these circuit as a minimum should know how to fix a puncture 

Regular Tyre / Tube wear and tear is not your responsibility 

• Accidents
