Guys,
I thought I would post a summary update here as well, (have already posted in Riding gears)

I have bought part of gear (reqd for SS1K next weekend! and of-course general riding ) yesterday, and will buy the rest today.
I have been riding with the gear since yesterday.
More updates on that in detail, later.

Update on Gear:

Yesterday I visited Orion Motors and Helmet Paradise for gear purchase.
Gear picked:

1. Riding Jacket DSG Nero - 5500 INR
2. Balaclava (Alpinestars) - 300 INR
3. Gloves DSG Revive - 2200 INR (I came back and checked, the cost on DSG site is 1990 INR - the shop should get a revisit from me today! )
4. Replaced (clear) visor (Helmet- Vega Boolean) - 160 INR

Accessory bought:

1. Tank Pad (Carbon fibre-Keiti) - 900 INR

Still to buy:

1. Knee guards
2. Saddlebags
3. Accessories and spares:

WD40+OKS Chain Lube
Acc/Clutch cables
Spark plug
Puncture repair kit
Foot pump (with gauge preferably)

Can anyone in Bangalore help me with a single store for accessories/spares - (preferably near Marathahalli)

Thanks,

Ace.

P.S.
One more thing:
I have put my case here: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...tml#post679613
I have put in the sealant (preventaflat solution) in my tires.
Do I still need to carry the Puncture kit/Pump? any information on this, folks?

Thanks.

I would suggest you to get at least an ls2 or crown helmet for your run...
Thanks for the input - but, I think that might not be possible to buy one..
But, I will try to look at some borrowables-for-the-task.

plus it is always good to carry the puncture kit.
Ya, I gathered from their site, that there is no "pump" required.
Hence, was asking if puncture kit is required?

and i dont think you would need a saddle bag. instead of that a normal backpack attached with the help of bungee chord will do.

hmm, I will freeze that option today.
If something fits within like 2K INR - then ok, otherwise bungee cords it is

also try and get a water bag or a home made sip up bottle with flexible straw so that you wont have to stop for water breaks and can stay hydrated easily....

wow ! now i see the problem ... You sure are getting ripped off , I get my bike serviced from there too ... But the thing is , I know exactly what needs to be done on my bike and specifically sit on their heads to get that done ... These guys follow a standard procedure . any bike that comes in , chain clean n lube , tappet adjust , wheel truing ... they don't check if you need it or not , YOU have to tell them ...

I've been wid Pacer for a lil while now n there's not been a time wen my bill's come below a grand , except for a few times wen i got some cheap parts replaced....!!!

I guess 20k kms are the ideal time for the change of tyres though I am not sure.. and it basically it depends upon use.. i changed to pirelli SD @ 17k kms because i was sick of raising no. of punctures every month

It looks like a MRF Zapper Q tyre
