@Nonu sad to know about your crash. Hope you and your bike get well soon.

If you don't mind me asking, how exactly did this happen?

Hit an idiot on road.
Damaged the above.
Also the tyre-handle bar alignment is tilted to the right. Front forks damaged (?)

Heavy heartache.

Sorry to hear that bro... please have your Handle-bar/Front fork alignment checked asap, its very critical -as that's what defines your bike handling (most of it)...

Riding this bike in traffic is different experience.. Should be very careful, not because we ride bad but others are just careless to bump-in..

I hope you get your stock soon..

I was at around 50kmph on a one way road ↑ right next to a flyover when an unnoticed guy from one of the underpass' turning points got onto the road horizontally ← right in the middle of the road. I tried to stop but it was too late. And there was a bang ㄒ .

Thanx for the concern antz.bin. Though, highly, unexpected I really appreciate it.

@Daytona: yeah man,hoping for the same. Plus,dont think these folks even know what a dyno is. Wonder if it'll be a case of trial n error in correcting the alignment. Biking spirit's really low.

Holy shit! That sucks, man! But stay strong and optimistic! You can fix your bike. These things happen. No bike lives without any damage. I've been in a couple of accidents myself(Honda Dio, Pulsar 150... but still).. you'll be back on your feet soon.

@ABikerAtHeart - Cheer up dude, being a machine on the road such things are bound to happen. I had a fall on my earlier bike only a month back with bruises, I know how it feels but cant help it. Get back the aura ASAP

**kotty4u** · 04-23-2012, 04:38 PM

Feeling very bad

Bro ,

I feel very sorry for your aura
by the way , the positive from this incident is that you are safe,

**liionheart** · 04-23-2012, 05:45 PM

anticipate & percieve

@ABikerAtHeart
I had learned the lesson hard way I was bed ridden for more than 6 months with my R15 V1 head on at 125KMPh ( god knows how i was saved). My biking confidence was so low after that accident that I rarely cross 40KMPH and scare by sight of tractor with trolly on road. But now I am back to normal.

Always ride at 80% of top speed which you can handle.May be that 20% reduced speed may not be 100+( in your case 50kmph) but you can handle emergency well.

And don't depend on reaction, always perceive & anticipate.

Road is full of shocks & surprises.

Happy recovery for both of you & your bike.

thats a good point there, which even i do, and whenever while overtaking or rising the throttle i always make sure i look ahead n then do it, even if its a cross road or straight. especially while overtaking buses or trucks or autos. {in bangalore}.

Can mineral oil be used in R15V2.0? If yes then what would be its longevity and if not then why not??

Can be, for period of 500 - 1K Km but should not be because SS is better for performance.

Sad to know, might help to make you relax a bit.
A fellow v2 friend had a crash and well, barring the engine, everything is being changed for almost 60 % of the cost of ride.

This is all part of package and you should be happy that you are able to stand on your feet.

Just try have minimal gears while street riding and full gears during touring.

Respect the person who has seen dark side of this adventure we undertake and still rides on.
Ride Safe, wish you speedy recovery.

**ABikerAtHeart** · 04-23-2012, 09:06 PM

Thanx guys..

Appreciate the support.. Heartfelt thank you to you all..

The bike is at the SVC and everything will get repaired under insurance of 95% of the total costs.. The total is around 5k.. Will have to pay 250 + 1st service charges..
ODO at 671km..

Relieved much..
Learnt a very good lesson..
