Timings are more important than routes

Bangalore - Hosur - Krishnagiri - Dharmapuri - Salem - Namakkal - Karur - Dindigul - Madurai - Virudhunagar - Kovilpatti - Tirunelveli - Kanyakumari
Bangalore - Salem & Madurai - Kanyakumari - You can't ask for better roads; rest, will confirm by evening. BTW,

Like I said before, timing is more important; for instance, traffic at Attibelle - Hosur is way too minimal if you cross after midnight; it's chaos around 8:30 in the morning.

IMHO, if you want to succeed without a sweat, consult wit Chief here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/hvkumar/

hi rg

thanks for update. do i have 24x7 petrol bunks on both routes?

**forumhookers** · 11-18-2012, 10:27 PM

My native is nagercoil which is near to Kanya Kumari and i am brought up in Tirunelveli and now i am in chennai. I know the routes from chennai to kk.

You can maintain average speed of 100km if you follow this route

chennai - trichy - madurai - tirunelveli - kanyakumari - NH7

And i had travelled from madurai to kk at speed of 120km in p180 . Roads are smooth and clean and yes you have 24x7 petrol bunk all the way.

If you have android mobile install sygic in it . Which is offline GPS and you can locate anything u need on that.

Will find out between Bangalore - Hyderabad; on your CBR, yes...

Fill up at Bangalore, next fill up at Salem, Lorry owner's association IOL enroute towards CBE, BTW, it's not a great detour, hardly about 1-2 Km
Karur BPCL comes about 20-25 Km after Kaveri river bridge
Madurai, I don't know, but I'm very confident you WILL find 24X7 fuel stations both ways
Between Madurai to Kanyakumari, I've found atleast 4-5 of them, but all of them the other side (when you go from Madurai towards Kanyakumari). However, if you refuel at Madurai, you'll hardly need to refuel until Kanyakumari.
Again, Kanyakumari, you WILL find 24X7 fuel stations

Hi friends,

Can anyone tell me about where could I buy a puncture kit in Bangalore?
And, also can anyone post a detailed video about fixing a puncture of front and rear tyres of an Avenger?

Regards,
Raghu

The puncture repair kit available in the market is generally for tubeless kind of tyres(read the tyres on alloy wheels). You can try Slime for tube tyre punctures. Its available in JC road, had sen it in few bike accessories shop but not sure about the price.

Oh!!! Really? Sorry; in that case, it's better do learn the DIY at leisure; it's a big headache removing the tire from the rim & putting it back. I've tried on my Rx twice & failed miserably as I didn't have additional small tire to mount the rim. Plus it needs a great amount of experience. I'm not discouraging, but saying, it takes a great deal.

Thanks Phanikar

Is SLIME the brand name of the puncture kit for tube tyres?
