If you didnt follow engine break in procedure and replaced oil within 1000 kms, well this may be the only issue.

@jibin - thats a cool logo you've got.

Nice man she looks gorgeous..
how much did the HID cost.. Complete with the fitting n all..?

HID projector= 1900+300(fitting)= 2200 rupees at Pudupet in Chennai

Wow,, only 2200rs..
i checked a few shops here in jaipur.. They were asking for 3500 for the HID only..

Well, that's a cool logo mate.

What all modifications you had to do, to fit the projector?

Since, the whole cylinder along with piston and piston rings were changed. The bike was almost like a brand new. Did you follow the rules for running in period?

For running in, it is always wise to use the mineral oil.

Cheerz!!

Yeah I know... Even in Chennai one guy quoted me 3.5k for the setup.
But I came to know about this place from my friend,so got it done for 2.2k

Which shop in pudupet?


Yes I have the done the run in .

Query Approved and Merged

Ohh.. Its good to research a bit in the market..
people just want to bang the customers..
I'll also try to find the cheapest and get one for me
cheers

I dont remember the name exactly...Went with a friend who took me there..
You can find many shops there who do this work...Just ask the price in different shops there and get it done at the best price...

Any ideas/suggestions/feedback for K&N YA-1611 air filter for our bikes? Stock filter setup,no mods required whatsoever.aunt coming from US,would have asked her to get me one then...

Did you change the oil after running in period?

Did you do the cylinder change and its assembly from a reputed guy? What was the reason to change the whole thing?

Also, look out for any damage to the exhaust, exhaust pipe.

Cheerz!!

It was done in yamha svc it was covered under warranty since I wrote a complain mail to yamaha. They said the engine was about to seize and made the replacements.
I have not found time to change the oil then, will do it this weekend. I will check for exhaust pipe damage as well.

Short trip to Himalaya

Hi guys,

this is a slight OT. I just wanted to share my experience with the mountains and this time from Amritsar, Punjab to the beautiful Himachal Pradesh. I was out on a project so just managed to click a few pics here and there whenever i got the chance. I must say i was very impressed with the network coverage all across the state, something which is quite rare in the hilly regions in India. Anyways i believe let the pics do the talking and let me keep quiet till then

Pic 22: Need i say more? The Himalayas view at Chamba, Himachal Pradesh








Pic 23, 24 & 25: Bhamour, Himachal Pradesh

The route taken was Amritsar - Dharmsala - Dalhousie - Mcleodganj - Chamba - Bharmour and back to Amritsar. Out of all places for me, i really enjoyed Dharmsala at Norbulingka institute where they do have guest house on first come first serve basis. The food is authentic tibetian and one can also order continental as they do serve a lot of foreigners there. This time unfortunately the travel was done on 4 wheels instead of two so respecting the forum rules i am not posting the images of the vehicle used to complete this trip. Would i recommend anyone to go for a touring on two wheels in this region? definitely!! Although the terrain may not be as difficult as Leh, Ladakh, however the roads are quite challenging; good enough for the first timers

Cheers,

Irritated with the stock rear tyre.punctures and leakages never seem to stop.morover, the previous patchworks seem to be giving up. Total punctures 14. Distance run 8000kms. Dont wanna slime. Tubeless hard compound is a priority. Radial is a benefit. Would like to upsize or go with the stock size. Need feedback for the following,along with price if possible. Also how much can i expect as exchange for the stock tyre?
KTM Duke 200's tyre (is it a soft compound?)
CBR 250R's conti-go (retails for 2800,semi-compound?)
Dunlop Tuffgrip (2800-3000,heard lots of good reviews here) availability is a problem.
Zappers with the same 140 width?
Don't wanna slip and fall with the new tyre,thoda grip chahiye as the stock softie has spoilt me with lovely cornerings.
