    With the remote areas you travel most probably its taken its toll.
    Aah great. Ill take the suspension to the guy then. Thanks bro.

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.

    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.

    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 ?

    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?
    25000kms
