            Thnx , the pics are taken by "redflash" /akash.

            I shot the videos with a go pro cam mounted at front fender and leg guard.

            I myself am in love with the impulse. After the first TR , i didnt like it , 2nd TR was also bad. 3rd time i went with a pillion on off road and i was convinced that i wanted one. it was only after i did some off roading , jumps here and there that I was 100% certain I made a very good decision of buying one.

            • can tubeless tire be fitted in impulse? went through a puncture in a deserted mountain area yesterday. 2inch nail destroyed the inner ceat tube completely. had to replace the tube. no one nearby, realised the importance of having tubeless tires. so guys any info on replacing tires with tubeless ones?

                some basics. impulse has spoked rims. so forget tubeless. only the most expensive bikes ( read bmw etc ) has spoked rims and TL tyres. still the best option for an off road bike is spoked rim + tube tyres. carry a repair kit and pump securely tied up on your next off roading ( or a spare tube( 2 tubes for impulse), but u have to remove the wheel to make the change.

                all the best

                  • yea, the likes of multistrada and gs1200 have spoked tubeless.. but those tires probably cost more than an impulse itself

                    • how about something like this ?

                      • I have one Bajaj Platina 100 and R15 first batch both in good condition.. now i am seriously thinking of getting IMPULSE .. as i need one offroad bike .. and as for sports bike i am going for GT250R anyhow .

                        so now impulse will suffice me of daily commuting and also short trips .. now can some one suggest me is it a good idea to sell R15 for Impulse ???
                        and also i might need another year of waiting as i want to buy used Impulse rather new one.. the idea is i want to sell R15 and the Platina and get the Impulse with that money as i don;t want to invest anything extra [no money after planning to pour for GT250R ]
                        Nothing is Impossible ...

                        • @niks_devil666: Nice teaser pics and vids man. Cant wait to see it ridden hard! BTW, you should try mounting the gopro on the helmet or the chest....vids tend to look better from rider POVs.

                              I got bored of those hence I tried diff angles. helmet cam doesnt give an angle where u see the depth.

                                did they open up the air filter element beneath the seat?
                                they did the same in mine too, dunno y, when the manual clearly mentions do not open air filter till 15k Km until there's a prob

                                hero svc guys are amazing
                                manual says to clean oil filter and centrifuge, they don't touch it coz it takes hardwork to clean it
                                manual says don't mess with air filter or carb, and they go ahead and ruin it
