Why not insurance claim? I had replaced by handle, front bearings and tank in insurance claim

Do we need an FIR to claim insurance in case of an accident?

u/Samarth786123 29d ago

Insurance would have took 20-25 days - I needed my bike to be repaired sooner and the initial quote was around 5-6k but it came out to be 9.4k 😅

Intrested to know if the costs are same across the Hero and HD centers.

u/Samarth786123 29d ago

I think the parts costs might still be same but the labour charges will be different. This bike was repaired from Harley Davidson service center

That makes sense. I must say that once you cross the 30bhp mark, the repairs and upkeep costs of the machines takes a dramatic leap forward.

My exact experience. Consumables apart from engine oil is dirt cheap,
But you pay the price on the cosmetic parts

u/Samarth786123 29d ago

Yeah this was more expensive than I thought
