      OT: Saw a white N300 yest, near Gandhi-nagar junction, the rider was wearing a White Sparx(?) helmet, anyone from here ?
      EDIT: Saw him again a lil while back, near Powai-Plaza

        After the heavy rains over the weekend, I have slight condensation in the headlights. First it was in the high beam side and now its also on the low beam side. Is anyone else having this problem? Also the exhaust has started rusting at end cap. Not that its a big thing, but its there.

            Ya guys the rusting is there and is an issue. I guess that the Kawasaki guys should look into this. I too noticed 2 or 3 specks on the end cup.

              Same problems are faced by few other...

              During my R15 days Yamaha service station guy suggested keep the headlights on in your parking for some time to deal with condensation in the headlights.. For me It worked with R15 and works for N300 as well...

              Second problem of rust on exhaust tip, chain is quite common for most of the bike... Use WD40 cleaner on exhaust and Motul chain cleaner and lube OR similar products however WD40 & Motul are quite popular and trusted brands

                The exhaust rusting is due to lack of mudguard in rear, the dirt is directly hitting the exhaust and some are going to inside too, gonna make a mudguard ,will update soon

                      ^^^ Maybe a "Seth" can lend you. But make sure you pay him monthly else you will have to face big guys in front of your house just kidding.. You have to wait other go.. Banks won't give loan without income statement for at least a year i guess. Maybe am wrong let others help

                        You say you have got a government job, so show them the appointment letter with the salary details in it. Ask them if another family member (who has regular income and files returns regularly) gives a guarantee is acceptable. How long have you been a customer of SBI? If its more than 5 years then that should also count for something.

                              I don't know if I am the only one who is experiencing this; guys on bikes going berserk around me. I am riding and minding my own business, suddenly some guy becomes aggressive and starts cutting in front and going back and forth. Quite a few of them are on KTMs and new gen Pulsar. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to start a brand war, but seriously, what's wrong with these guys??? Sometimes I feel like laughing (had a guy do this on a Honda Activa today), but mostly feel irritated and concerned. Many of these guys are college going kids who seem to have absolutely no regard for their own safety or traffic rules.

                              I shudder thinking what will happen when these guys will get their hands on KTM 390. Only God can help our tribe from these morons then!!!

                                You're not alone. Whenever i ride my KTM (Okay im from the other forums...just wandering around :P ) i see such morons who zip past me or will try to initiate some kind of drag race on the road. The funniest are the ones with non -geared motoscooters, I'm like WTF is wrong with you people, just ride that thing safely and wear a helmet.

                                Its better we dont get distracted with such morons...and carry on enjoying our rides. Cheers! ride safe
