If it is tank pads you are talking of, you can get clear tank pads (Keiti) at Orion Motors. There is also a store by the name Tirumala Enterprises at Double road/ Lalbag road junction. I got mine @ Rs.1k.
You can also order online at planetdsg and PRS.

Yamaha also has got tankpads of its own, no clear ones though.

Planning a trip to Shimla from Delhi.

Hi All,

I am planning a trip to Shimla from Delhi on R15. Just wanted to ask how is traffic from Kalka to Shimla, would roads be clear enough to enjoy the ride?

Thanks in advance..

Redline!

Again I went on a 162 kms roundtrip, just because I wanted to ride her!

On the way back, tried revving her harder.

The exhaust note changed at 5.5- 6 K, and again a change was noticed at 9 K.

It was simply amazing, esp. the post 9 K till 10.5 K.
Took her close to 10.5 K on 4th and 5th a couple of times.

IIRC, I hit 130 on 6th at around 9- 9.5 K.

I think there's some problem with the pattern of my acceleration, as once I noticed no more throttle left at ~125 kmph on top gear.

But, yeah, taking long turns at 110-120 were a breeze!

NH-8, beautiful road, empty as well.

Something I noticed while riding....

Hi all,

when I am riding most of the time engine is smooth (some vibrations but overall very smooth). But sometimes engines feels quite harsh and if I stop for 1-2 min and then continue riding, engine becomes very smooth...

what could be causing this....?

Anyone else facing the same issue...?

Yes, you can seat a pillion on a tour. Provided, the pillion seats are either modified with extra cushioning either with a foam layer or he/she is using a towel or an airbag to sit.

Depends on what traditional wear you speak of. If its the saree, then is a strict no no. Anything else (like the salwar, leggings, etc) will do just fine.

Nope. Not at all.

Never knew that the WGP edition comes with a tank pad.
N I think what you are talking of is stompgrip traction pads.

I like that. But its necessary only on a track.

And Teejay, yeah the WGP comes with a tank pad and a superb one it is. Has come really handy so far. Incase you wish to get the same, then its worth Rs462\- only and is available on across all dealers.

i don think so, i have felt the need for it for daily use. when ever we brake we tend to come front little and when a pillion is there its much more needed.

and @TeeJayy ya its also called stompgrip. are you serious you didnt know about the WGP edition coming with tank pad
