Well that explains the chain wear part. The rear brake pads tend to stick to the disc. You may have to get ot checked occasionally, atleast mine does stick and makes noise. I get it cleaned up every service.

Nah, never had the sticking problem , and brakes are pretty silent too.

Ladakh Trip Help

i am riding to ladakh on 20th june.. hyderabad to delhi as per the new plan... in train and then riding to manali-leh-ladakh- delhi...

the tyre has done 8-10 k since new and have had a single puncture. grip wise the grooves and tread is pretty much decent however
wanted to know if its safe to take the bike to the trip else change the tyre. i have had no air loss since that puncture but worried if it runs flat and what possibilities to get a tubeless tyre in ladakh or to repair it. incase it goes flat..

Tubeless tyre punture repair kit along with Fevibond might help. That too if you are carrying footpump along with you !

i am carrying footpump+ repair kit as mandatory..
but what options we have in ladakh if i run flat and tyre is beyond repair. do we have any shop which can accommodate at least a tyre change.. worst case...
if not stock size.. anything of 17inch rim...

NOTE : might not be an actual suggestion !!! How abt keeping tyre tube of that size along with you. If anything goes wrong tyre with tube might work.

Try to get hold of a bottle of 'slime' sealant or similar stuff and use that in your tire before you start off. Just an extra level of protection
Used to be available on flipkart/snapdeal, don't see them now though. Maybe you could ask in some bigger tire showrooms like 'Mohsin Ali Mulla Fida Ali' at Panjagutta or car accessories shops

yes its injected thru the valve.. no need to remove tire. There is also a self use canister that you can use yourself to inject it.

there are similar desi stuff in the market.. do check out some vids on youtube for the desi variety.

[MENTION=51754]theironhorse99[/MENTION] : Gettin Leh'd? Bon Voyage buddy!!!! How are you transporting your bike to Delhi? Seems liek the xbhp group is having lots of fun these days. Missing out a lot

Back to topic: Remember, few months ago I'd conceptualized a visor mount for smartphones on the CBR? Well, here it is! Total cost: Not more than 125 INR. Trade-offs? 2 holes on the visor, and the tacho is not visible after mounting the phone.

Saw the pics in FB man, the holder is awesome. do let us know how they fare in day to day riding

Now for a query, has any one here designed or seen a luggage carrier or say a fuel can holder type of mod on the CBR? Planning to get Lehed and the tank range of CBR seems insufficient for few of the routes I have in mind. Any ideas on this? I have saddle bags and if there is no way, I will have to fit the cans in the saddlebags. So I want some ideas to save up on space to fit the other necessities.
