    Pearl yamaha (Hyderabad) doesnt have them!!! I have been asking them for months, all they say is they will get in a few days but nothing happens.....

    Or is there any other alternative for the above two??
    aren't there other dealers? if none of the dealers have it then call up yamaha customer care.. btw i also faced the leaky fuel tap issue.. just opened it, adjusted it correctly and screwed it back and i have had no issues since...
    Regardless, Life shall go on.

      Well if it is too small a leak to be detected by the bubble approach you wouldnt be losing so much pressure in such short duration. I'm all out of ideas now.

      Other thoughts. I notice you dont have the stock handle grips. Some info on what, how much and where purchased, cost and feedback is needed
      Everyone falls down, doesn't matter...
      But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

        Won't the thickness of the handle bar increase with chrome?Will the changed thickness affect anyhow?

          oh man i'm outta ideas as well , SVC sayin nothin wrong with the rims , but still i got the problem ...

          regarding handle bar grips ... this was the mistake i made , being new to biking and my bike in general , i had problems with gripping the handle too tight , bought these , dunno for how much , but bought it at J.C road ... looked cool with the bike and initially i felt it helped me ... but , if u want more cushion , get the open ended grips on J.C road , that way u don't have to change the stock and u get better cushion for the palm as well ...
          People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

            What about using the handle grips that are used on R15 clip-ons? They are quite soft and have nice grip.

                few days back i met up with an accident
                i had my t and pipe(shockers)alignment done at lathe

                adrenaline gushing in through ur body

                  Yeah you can..but there will be some gap since it isnt the same size.

                      Yep the length isnt the same..hence the gap..but you can put it on.Swaroop has been using it for a while now.

                            Ok. Thanks. If it is shorter, then it wouldn't be a problem, isn't it?

                              By bumper you mean the crash guard I guess, yes go for that. I don't think you need anything else. No need of teflon coating either.
