Well here it is October and I only have about 2,400 miles on my Bajaj. Can barely believe I only put four hundred miles on in two months time. About a month ago, I bought a new bicycle. Since then I have been riding my bike back and forth to work every day. I actually went a whole month on just one tank of gas. That's how little I have been riding.

Don't get me wrong though, I really enjoy the Bajaj and I would reccomend it to anyone interested in getting a low-cost highly reliable geared scooter.

I scootered around on my Bajaj Chetak some more today. It's running a LOT better than before. Maybe it's my immagination, but it definately seems to have a lot more power now after the 2k service. The Chetak now takes hills with ease that before it used to struggle with. Rough estimate I'd say I'm going up those hills about three or four MPH faster.

I picked up my Bajaj Chetak at NoHo scooters today. Everything's fine. It's running a lot better. They adjusted the clutch and brake cables. The clutch cable was way out of adjustment. Even if I had the clutch pulled all the way in, it was almost ready to engage - not good. Now it's the opposite. I just barely pull on the clutch and it disengages.

I took my Chetak in for service at NoHo scooters on saturday. I have about 2,000 miles on it now, so was time for a valve adjust. The bike has been working GREAT! Not one problem!

Chetak is running great! I have about 1,700 miles on the scooter now. I need to take it down to NoHo scooters for a service call - time for a valve adjustment and an oil change. I commute back and forth to work most every day on my Chetak. One way distance is about four miles. The Chetak is perfect for that kind of commute. I usually fill up with gas once a week. I usually put in about 3/4 of a gallon and the bill comes out to about two dollars. I really don't pay attention to the dollar amount - that's how little it is.

Picked up the Chetak sometime after Christmas. NoHo scooters was very busy during the holidays. The Chetak looks great with the new seat. I will post some pictures of it soon.

There is one caveat to switching out the stock Bajaj seat... The new PX200 style seating position is a bit more forward on the bike. So room for a pillion has pretty much disappeared. No big deal for me though. I knew when I purchased the Chetak that two up riding was not going to be much of an option.

Gas mileage is now about seventy MPG. Top speed for me is about fifty MPH on level ground. I have about one thousand miles on the clock by now. The bike is revving way better now that it's broken in. Can feel a bit more power there. I mainly use the kickstart. She usually starts on the first or second kick.
