X440 rear axle bolt stuck
Today I went to change the tires on my bike from the stock zapper ones. When they tried to remove the rear tyre, the axle bolt was stuck and was not budging. They asked me to go to service center and resolve the issue. At service centre I came to know that this is the sixth bike with the same issue they had in this premia showroom. They told me that they would cut and remove the bolt. So I had to buy new bolt and nut pair and these cost 800+ rupees itself. They cut out the old one and assembled the new ones and then only could go for tyre change.
Have any of you came across this issue. I will add photos of the bolt after they cut it out. As you can see few threads are missing from the bolt.
Also I did not get warranty for this. If this is a common issue then shouldn’t it come under warranty. Manufacturing defect, design defect etc.
I feel that things are not lasting much in this bike. So fragile motorcycle. This is the third issue
First issue. Clutch cable broke at 5000kms did not get warranty
Second issue. Gear position sensor issue, got warranty for this
Third issue. Axle bolt damaged 14000km
Rear MRF tyre could go for few more kms but I decided to change them as the tread wear mark has been exceeded and I don’t want to take risk ( went with Michelin tyres)
