RTX 300 owners - need some advice on a booking situation 😅

Hey everyone,

I booked my TVS RTX 300 back in April, and after waiting all these months, I finally got a call today saying my bike is ready at their storage facility.

The person who called me said that if I complete the payment, they can hand over the bike within this week itself.

The problem is… I honestly wasn't expecting the bike to arrive this early. 😅 I was mentally prepared for delivery around 6 months after booking, and currently I don't have the full amount ready.

I am 100% willing to take the bike, but I will only be financially ready around the 1st week of October, which is roughly 1.5 months from now.

I asked the person if they could hold the bike, but he said they can hold it for maximum 15 days, and not for a month or more.

So I'm trying to understand what options I have here.

My questions to fellow RTX owners:

1️⃣ Can I somehow request the dealer to hold my allotted bike for 1+ month?

Has anyone successfully negotiated something like this with their dealer?

2️⃣ Can I temporarily give up my current allocation?

For example, can I tell the dealer:

"Please allocate this bike to the next person in the waiting list, and give me another RTX 300 from the next lot when it arrives."

Is something like this practically possible?

3️⃣ Can I pay ₹20–30k now and generate the invoice, then pay the remaining amount in October?

Would that allow the dealer to hold the bike?

4️⃣ If an invoice is generated and I pay some amount, what happens if something unexpected happens later?

Is the amount paid against the invoice refundable, or can there be cancellation/refund issues?

5️⃣ What happens if I simply let this allocation go without personally cancelling my booking?

Will my booking automatically get cancelled after some period?

6️⃣ If I let this particular bike go, will my original booking continue?

Basically, can I get an RTX 300 from the next available lot instead of losing my booking completely?

Really looking for advice from people who've actually experienced this.

I don't want to cancel the RTX 300 - I just need another ~1.5 months to arrange the money.

If anyone has faced a similar situation with TVS/dealer allocation, please share exactly what you did and what happened afterward.

Would you hold the bike somehow, shift to the next allocation, or just let this one go?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated! ❤️

TL;DR: Booked RTX 300 in April → bike unexpectedly ready now → dealer says max 15-day hold → I can arrange full payment only by October 1st week. What are my options to preserve my booking/allocation?

Need some expert opinions regarding a strange issue that happened immediately after service.

Vehicle:

Tata Nexon Petrol 2024

Odo around 15k km

Before service:

- OEM Tata/Mobil 5W30 oil

- OEM oil filter

- OEM air filter

- Stock Bosch YR5MEO spark plugs

Today’s service work:

- Shell Helix HX8 Extra 5W30 oil

- Tata OEM oil filter

- Mahle/Purolator air filter

- NGK LKR7BIX-P iridium spark plugs installed directly from packet

- Coolant changed .

- All wheels removed, hubs/discs cleaned

- AC vents cleaned using foam cleaner spray

- Water wash

Important observations during service:

- Technicians disconnected many connectors/cables around engine bay for almost 1 hour while changing spark plugs.

Now the issue:

After service:

- Car drove perfectly fine for around 6 km back home.

- I even switched OFF and ON once after reaching home started normally.

- But after few hours, suddenly vehicle refused to start.

Current symptoms:

- Dashboard powers ON normally

- All lights bright (no dimming)

- No crank at all when pressing START button

- Only a small buzz/relay/sensor sound from engine bay

- No starter motor sound

Instrument cluster shows:

- Battery warning light

- Oil pressure warning

- Check engine light

- Brake warning

- Immobilizer/car-with-key symbol

- Seatbelt warning etc.

Questions:

  1. Are these warning lights normal when ignition is ON but engine is not cranking?

  2. Do these signs usually indicate a battery/ground terminal issue?

  3. Can a loose battery terminal or grounding issue cause complete no-crank with all electronics working normally?

  4. Could partially loose ignition coil/sensor connectors after spark plug replacement cause this?

  5. Can moisture from AC foam cleaner entering lower dashboard area affect BCM/start interlock/brake switch and prevent cranking?

  6. Has anyone faced similar no-crank issues after Tata service?

  7. Could NGK LKR7BIX-P plugs themselves cause any no-crank condition?

Additional detail:

- Headlights and cluster brightness look completely normal.

- No repeated clicking sound.

- Just a small buzz/click from engine bay when START button is pressed.

Would appreciate guidance on the most likely cause before towing it back to service center.
