Considering the customer dissatisfaction after the end of Bajaj-Kawasaki collaboration, the brand is planning to open 4-6 more dealerships in India soon, which are not something very big but it is sure to relieve some customers from the wait in getting their bikes serviced mostly in 2-tier and 3-tier cities.
For the remaining customers to get their bikes serviced, Kawasaki is planning to organize service camps in the cities where there are no formal dealerships. Social media is supposed to contain all the details of the service camps, so the customers can chose their appropriate locations and get their biker serviced.
