    Today changed the front brake disc as it was bent due to crash.

    Wheel rim is still bent. And I was unable to unscrew the spokes as they might got rusted or something else.

    Wobbling is driving me crazy.

    Does anyone here happened to know from where I can source Impulse's front 19" spokes?

    Need 36.

    Official hero distributor said company stopped manufacturing impusle spokes.

    Is there any way to retrofit any other bike's spokes ?


    Also cone set is damaged so will change it this weekend. Fork is also bent. And I'm going to add a spacer kinda thing into my mosnoshock for some pre-load. As I weigh 96kg my 7month old monoshock got so soft that bike sits l so low even of noone sitting on. So space will add a pre load and can carry my weight.

    TIA.
    Try thesparescompany in pune, I even got new hand guards from them( 2018 manufactured)..

    ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

    I am planning to go on a very very long tour on my Impulse very soon and I want center stand for it( don't know from where urge came to fit one)Can some one help how and where to fit. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

    Next when u change ur tyres (in general anybody who change any tyres), before fitting into ur vehicle check the manufacture year code. It's a 4 digit number in a Oval box available in each and every tyres. The first two digit denotes the week of manufacturer and the 3rd and 4th digit denotes the year of manufacturer. At any cost try to avoid tyres made 3 years before. This is the reason u must avoid online purchase of tyres as they mostly sell their old stocks.

    exactly same happened to my CEAT front stock tyre. I was able to procure the same stock tyre in Pune and it was 2011 MFG. after 2-3 months or 2000-3000 kms side wall treads/blocks were tearing apart. cracks were all over the side walls. Also to add more chaos while riding whenever i lean into corner front losses grip suddenly due to degraded rubber.
    same happened with rear stock as well.
