    Am planning a ride from Delhi to Leh in june mid.


    Till date I have attempted simple mods like wider renthal bar, better grips, bar raisers, motocross foot pegs, higher seat height, etc to improve ergonomics. Also replaced the stock spark plug with iridium ones and threw away the top cover to the snorkel in air box. Have dabbled with motul syntetic oil, etc.


    My impulse experienced serious breathing issues when i did a trip delhi-kufri-sangla-kaza-rackong pe- shimla- delhi about 4 years back.. managed at that time by punching holes in the stock filter.


    however, now i have taken the plunge and am upgrading to a karizma engine @indimotard greasehouse in bangalore for the ensuing trip. Will also change the carb, air filter and exhaust in this process. Anxious and excited about the new avatar which will be ready sometime next week.


    though it will burn a hole in my pocket, am hoping have a good time on the ride.


    Any suggestions are welcome!
    How much are they quoting for the swap?
    Any break up given?

            Usually it isn't the kms ridden that determines the tightening of tappets but the way it was ridden. Also its not a hard and fast rule that one needs to tighten tappets every some x kms after. Listen if there's some tick-clicking on idling or throttling near the cylinder head. If not that inclined consult a mechanic.

            Usually tappets are left a little which tends to sound a little. Irritating it is but is the perfect setting. Hard to digest one has to live with it. Over tightening the tappets because of the sound coming from the same may tend to a engine breakdown. Do consult a mech.

            How many kms on the odo btw?

                          Clutch plates of hero achiever are direct fit for hero impulse. Its difficult to find parts for impulse. If you guys have information about alternative parts for impulse, please share.

                            Hi, does anybody use a tank bag on an impulse? The tank bags ive seen is very big and makes it hard for the pillion to sit lavishly. I'm planning on a 3 day trip, any suggestions on what all to be done to the bike ?
                            May the sun rise infront of me,
                            the rain fall behind me and the wind follow me.
                            May the angels guard my travels for they know what's ahead of me.
                            Keep me safe through rolling hills, swirling turns and bad roads.
                            Let the moon's light guide me through the night.
                            Lord, thank you for letting me a Biker.
                            Amen.

                              Naah. Precisely for 2nd hand there are none. Although you can get some of that or helped out for at the same place owned by Pyare Lal's

                              Cramster. Used it for an year or so. Good magnetic bag, doesn't take a lot of space but it hampered a lot of maneuverability for me especially while at offroads. Stopped using it thereafter and I ride with a small backpack now. 20L it is, enough to enclose all the essentials.

                                Is it just me or someone else with his/her Impulse with 35-40+kms on the ODO has it's rear suspension working not as good as new. I mean the damping has worsen now overtime and I realised this when I pushed the rear suspension in and released it. The way my Impulse does is that the suspension goes in dead lethargically with no inherent stiffness that the spring and damper possess.

                                When i compared the same with a new Impulse around I noticed a significant difference. Although the suspension works fine still with no problems whatsoever but I'm pretty sure its hampering the riding characteristics of the bike.

                                PS : New suspension is worth 7-8000rs last i heard.
