The Buying Experience^thInitial Run InStyling and Build QualityEngine and Performance^th exclusively and to some extent 5^th gears are meant only for highways, and that too once you are in sweet spot of 6k and above. Highways are effortless. 110/120 kmph cruising is possible even though I remain in 90-110 kmph zone (depends on individual comfort level).

Radiator Fins: As soon as you get your bike, get a radiator guard installed. Never ever allow the person washing the bike to use pressurised jet to wash the radiator. This will instantly bend the fins and reduce cooling efficiency.

i do see the fins bent here and there.. top right and lil towards the center.. thats normal wear n tear.. nothing to worry .. keep riding.. keep it clean.. it shouldnt be clogged.
bent fins will still pass air.. clogged ones wont...

What performance gain can we expect from this spark plug?

It doesn't really "pull off" until you reach 2500 rpm. The way i see it, this is actually better and safer.

OMG...that tyre really shocks! Now i need to have an eye on my tyres every day

BTW...looks like a black ceeber....does it belong to Mr.Prakash?

i dont think there will be a noticible gain in power.... however i feel the power would be more linear and the low end grunt should improve..
this one is an inexpensive buy so even if it does not serve the purpose and works just like normals plugs we have.. i'd keep it as a backup...

yup that tyre is scary. .it just came off..
that aint prakash sir's bike.. his ride recently got new pair of shoes..

another FM here (madmax / jacob ) not so active but a dear friend...

i believe i am going on the same path.. i have got the cone set checked.. handle checked and sometimes the ride feels wobbly on hard cornering.. might be placebo..
but i firmly believe its the uneven wear and tear of the tyre..

have to wait till i get my cash...

not sure but yeah he was talking about replacing tyres since a month...
however if you check the threads.. it still has a lot of life left.. this isint expected out of a 3k tubeless tyre.. atleast not this...

I believe, We should check our tyres and alignment/coneset setting daily while riding or before. This will help us from unwanted mishaps.

Most of the accidents are due to our negligence and people blame others. If your friend was talking to change the tyre from past month, then till now it should have been replaced. He can replace it with the dealer on pro usage basis.

Of course something like this is not at all acceptable from a 3K tyre. This should be brought to notice of continental for sure or what ever brand it is.

Instead of using contigo, try IRC its 100 times better, better control and reliability. Contigo is too heavy and tends to skid a lot. Ull find drastic change in ur riding aftr u switch over to IRC.
