My brakes feel very spongy and almost like a drum brake. When I peeked into the reservoir window I couldn’t see any indication of fluid present in the reservoir at all!
Has anyone checked this on their bikes? Any advice from petrol heads on how often to check this since it’s kind off hidden underneath the front dash.
Kindly get it checked from the service team of ather at the earliest as brake fluid reservoir has a minimum and maximum mark demarcated clearly and also have your brake pads checked once as they tend to wear a little early if the brake fluid is missing or is not optimum!

Brake fluid needs minimal top up .
If there is dip below min level on the indicator we can just add a d0t3 or dot4 fluid.
Brake fluid does not require top up very frequently. For a brand new bike like yours, this should not usually happen. Spongy brakes could mean air bubbles in the fluid, but this usually happen only if it’s bled incorrectly, again this should not happen to your bike. I would suggest you get this checked out by the service team immediately.
Service team checked it today at my workplace and signed off that it was working as expected. Maybe I just wasn’t used to disc brakes coming from an Activa- so once I got used to the disc brakes it feels normal now!
To the question of fluid, the tech was categorical in stating that if there no fluid my brakes wouldn’t work at all and there are no signs of a leak anywhere.

Please don’t make such comments. No one has had such bad experiences. They always pick calls. Due to mass delivery they might be busy.
As a customer I spoke not as an unfortunate buyer.
Good day
I suggest that you email them and ask for a call back. Lately have been noticing issues with getting connected to the customer care. Or you could tweet them too.
When things go wrong all seems an eye wash that’s all.

please elaborate instead of posting one liners, unless everyone knows what the problem is what things can we get in place? I’m sure the members of the forum and the ather team are going to be all ears to what the problem is.
Is there any maintenance schedule like any other vehicles?
5000 kms once. First one at home and Every alternate one will be done at Ather location with pick up and drop
What are the checks and replacements?
Even I do not understand why have the same number for RSA, non-critical Support and Pre-order enquiries!
Will there be a first service at 1000km.
I remember them saying that during delivery and service at every 5000km later on
If you have any problem, call them to schedule a service
No there is no problem everything is fine I thought they will schedule regular sevice
