Riding through mud and dirt or water,100% sure u will have to stop to clean ur face.. i have experience when i had a drive through thick long forest at normal speed level where we had to face the same dirt problem..mud sprayed on legs not a huge matter but on face its a big problem especially when we ride on dirt....i experienced it my friend...and i had the same problems on high ways too....that was the reason why i fixed a normal steel mud guard ..and i do the same off roading after fixing it....now there is no water,mud problem...now iam comfortable with my impulse.....i know most impulse owners dont like to remove that mudguard as it removes that sports off road thrilling look from it...at this point i agree 100% with u .i too felt sad to remove it but i had no other option....because i want to do pure off roading...and no time to stop and clean my face....if any impulse owners feel a different thought ,plz have a look at Adam Riemanns 4500 km adventure trip to himalayas with impulse(you tube).watch that video carefully how this mud guard gives him a feel where he drives through water and dirts and blocks his vision .......thank u all....

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

                  one more thing i agree....when we do off roading ...sure we have to suffer dirt mud water etc...thats what off roading means...but all off road bikes are not fiied with high fly mud guards..take a look at on road off road bikes in google images....take husqvarna.. a swedish on road off road bikes manufacturing company..thank u impulse lovers
                  yoy are right and I appreciate what you said.

                  I watched that video of Adam Reimanns 4500 Km adventure trip to himalayas long back and its this video that inspired me to buy Impulse. Unfortunately we have no dedicated dirt bikes but its better to ride impulse then a bajaj platina with a dirt style mud guard... (i saw one guy riding platina near sion circle with a dirt bike front mudgurd )

                  you said that when we go offloading we suffer from mud. word "suffer" tells it all...

                  I personally enjoy mud and trust me if Adam's vision was blocked he would'nt have completed those 4500 Kms that too with his father who also rode an impulse with him in those muddy terrains and is not a professional dirt biker like Adam.

                  I hope giants like Honda, yamaha and suzuki with their eye on number one position will stop feeding us with more dream yugas, dream neos... And those super bikes with no formal riding training. I saw that other day a sardar ji riding hyboosa in boxers and bathroom slippers... haaaahaahaa
                  Bajaj platina with a dirt mud guard and a hyboosa rider wearing boxers...

                  seriously man... I know we have to improvise because bike market in india is dedicated mainly for those who use their bikes as milk vans and school buses... So you are right. We have to be practical.

                  I hope next on road and off road bike will have both type mud guards. Till then enjoy improvisations.

                  BTW you have five bikes and you still need a practical mod for your impulse when you can have the liberty of enjoying all FIVE different flavors... (Just a humble opinion)

                  I own only one and love it the way it is... Wild.

                    Few months back my impulse also went blank... No screen, no kick start. I draged it to a local mech who only tightened a screw of bike's battery. Battery was loose and it gave no spark. After servicing asc guys left battery loose and slowly after few days riding it became loose enough to scare me with no signs of life in my bike for few minutes.

                    check battery.

                      Brother let me tell you my personal opinion, I really didn't like the mod you did.... Atleast you shouldn't have removed the tank attachments (sorry I don't know the name)

Its not practical to buy a bike that dose not serve your purpose at first place. And then making it what you call practical.

                        No hard feelings dude... Just a simple suggestion to keep things simple. Better buy a commuter or a royal but not impulse because its for people who love mud and dirt....
                        Insipiring words there bro...

                        I would call this as "Quote of the YEAR"

                            Its just suggestions bro. No hard feelings......

                            I have observed many times bro...for example haircut. we mite like hair standing (spike as u al know it as). but the opposite person my know wat may suit us more better as they r the persons who look at it most.

                            so as suggestions, everybody here just told as wat may suit more better for the impulse as we are also using it.

                            and yes hope ul be active member too.....

                              yes brother ..thanks...i bought this bike only for off road purpose..not for racing...almost all 7 days in a month we do offroading in heavy thick forests filled with pretty difficult narrow hills,waterfalls, small canals,small streams..some times we fall from the bikes on slippery rocks,some times on narrow hills..some times vehicle trapped by tree branches...direct face to face meet with elephants..in the middle of the jungle not knowing the actual way to come out of the jungle...what a ride..these r the reasons why hero motocorp gave a slim design to impulse and most dirt bikes. now u got it why i removed that both fibre parts from the tank. it hits tree branches .i truly bellieve this is what off roading means that is wht riding and racing is all about ..not like putting the bike on the normal race mud tracks for one or two hour a day for liesure and enjoying the mud sprayed on our body and saying this is a mud bike and mud should be sprayed when we have a ride on it...... thanks dude....
