3rd service done at 13875kms-replaced both brake pads ,air filter and both the rear indicators-bill was a cool 9k.

First road damage -hit a freshly minted pothole at 100kmph-damaged the front steering head bearings and the rear rim-the rear rim will be covered by insurance but will have to shell out for the bearings-also changing the tyres to higher profile ones -the rear 150/70-R17 instead of the current 150/60-R17 and 110/80-R17 replacing the current 110/70-R17

Rear alloy changed under insurance-payout Rs525.
Front fork bearing changed-Rs1500.
New 110/80-R17 front and 150/70-R17 Vredestien Tyres fitted-Rs13000.(old tyres were good for maybe 5000kms more-given them to an employee for fitting on his Hunter350)
14500kms up

The VREDESTIEN tyres are as rigid as bias ply tyres-The OE Alpha H1 were much more supple and provided a pillowy ride which combined along with the suspension provided the bike with exceptional balance of ride and control-the VREDSTIEN's have a hard edge to them-have lowered tyre pressure 3psi at each end to compensate but it is a compromise at best-wish Apollo comes up with higher profile H1's to suit riders such as me whose everyday ride encompasses broken roads.

The VREDESTIEN tyres though radials, are as rigid as bias ply tyres-The OE Alpha H1 were much more supple and provided a pillowy ride which combined along with the suspension provided the bike with exceptional balance of ride and control-the VREDSTIEN's have a hard edge to them-have lowered tyre pressure 3psi at each end to compensate but it is a compromise at best-wish Apollo comes up with higher profile H1's to suit riders such as me whose everyday ride encompasses broken roads.But due to the VREDESTIEN's rounded profile,steering is much sharper ,lighter. and their higher profile is much safer for alloy life.Such is life.

With the bike nearing the 16000kms,the chain sprocket set was replaced @Rs4500.Have been riding the bike a bit slower these days ,but surprisingly the mileage remain the same at @25kmpl

**zestbiker** · 07-09-2026, 09:36 AM

Bike had a slow speed fall right outside my house-purely my fault due to lack of attention-damage broken clutch lever ,broken rear view mirror stay, bent gear lever -got everything changed-ride carefully everyone.
