    Leather beds in slowly, using it warm conditions makes the bedding process easier as opposed to cold climates.

    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

      Got this at 2450 from Cunningham cramster .these pair is good.its softninside and the temp remains kind of same inside although here in banglore its extremely hot,sometimes at 37degrees in the afternoon.there is a very little amount of sweat that was developed inside ,but one has to be very choosy to see it.overall its good and fits good .
      Its tight though, specially the wrist part ,but heard that as time goes it loosens a bit.I took xl.XXL was loose,specially there were plays at the tip of the finger.
      Awesome bro... I bought mine from the same shop for Rs 2300. I bought XXL as i felt no blood in my hand when i wore XL.

      I have used it for 3 weeks till now. Reviews: it is soft inside and looks tuff outside. It has padding on all the impact areas. You won't feel cold even at night time while riding it. A bit warm for day use... But manageable. The stitching work is superb. But keep it away on rainy days as its leather and will stink if not dried properly. And, it has slight perforations on the sides of fingers for air to pass by. So, it's not water proof.

      Bcz it's thick i felt disconnected from bike initially... But it's OK now. Loving it now

              I think its time to change the battery of my bike. Guys please give me suggestion on which battery to go for ? My stock one is of Exide ETZ-9 VRLA. I came to know that the same battery is no longer available in the market. Hence, I have to go for 12V-9AH battery. Also, I came to know that Amaron is also producing VRLA batteries, I saw one of amaron's... but it is taller than our stock Exide, didn't know how to accormodate under the seat . So, I need inputs from you guys who have changed your stock battery.

              Please respond asap. I can't run on my stock battery any longer as it is not holding charge even for 3 days if I am not running the engine.

                Please buy a replacement battery from your service centre. The electronics on the bike are extremely finicky. The stator coil which usually lasts the lifetime on other bikes is almost a consumable on this bike. It fails to charge the battery sufficiently and you never what is going to fail. Having owned this bike for 4 years almost now I can safely say, Murphy's law is THE law for this bike. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

                I have serious doubts about the quality and believe that this vehicle is not built to last for more than 5 years. I would advice prospective buyers to consider this aspect before putting down their hard earned money.

                • Please help!

                  Once I turn my ignition key to the on position I have noticed a swoosh sound along with the fuel pump/radiator fan sound (the normal sound that we hear when turning on the ignition), this has happened to me at least 10 times in the past 4 days. The swoosh sound is a bit louder than the normal sound that we hear while turning on the ignition.

                  I have noticed this sound only when the ignition key is turned to the on position. Also, I'm experiencing a bit of a bumpy ride (as if the screws and bolts are a bit loose while travelling which results in uneven movement of the bike even on rubberized roads that are way too smooth).

                  Sorry for my bad English. I'm a noob so any help would be much appreciated ( It's my first time here on xbhp )

                  My bike: Duke 200. Purchase date: 21st Dec 2015

                        Will check the next time I visit the asc.
                        Hi @s1d,

                        I found out your post a couple of pages back.

                        Did you find the solution for fitting the Amaron battery in our Duke in terms of battery compartment mod's.

                        Asking it bcz i don't feel like paying Rs 2900/- for new stupid Exide battery. Please help me out.
