    as for your visor question, if its clear and not posing a hindrance to your view then i see no point in changing it.
    have you ridden at night ? because at night with oncoming headlights, the imperfections if any will be easily noticeable. If all is good, then use the current stock visor and maybe buy a new visor and keep it as a spare (sometimes its difficult to get hold of visors when you really need a replacement)
    No, I haven't installed as yet. But, got to know from a member here itself that it's TOTALLY worth it.

        Also, a query: I've a Sparx S07 helmet which I bought around 3 yrs back. It had a scratch-proof visor. I clean the visor daily. Till date the visor is as clear as it was on Day 1. I was going to buy a new spare visor after 3 yrs but I thought "WHAT'S THE POINT"..
        My question is DO MODERN DAY HELMETS NEED VISOR CHANGE IF MAINTAINED PROPERLY??
        Nice, how much did this cost?

          I also use Yamalube chain lube, cost is somewhat similar to Motul, and IMO it's better than Motul, have to lube it every 650-700 kms in case of Yamalube whereas I had to lube 500 kms in case of Motul.

              I am not sure if its going on even now. But previously yamalube was motul with yamalube sticker. Don't know about the current situation. Actually few years back if you peal away the yamalube sticker you would see motul sticker inside..

                Since you haven't installed it yet, can you post the following pics here:
                1. Stock lighting low and high beam on a normally lit street in the night
                2. Stock lighting on a dark stretch (not in parking, but preferably a place where one can judge the throw)
                Repeat the above two after replacing with the Phillips.

                Please post these 4 pics, it may give those planning on using the bulb a fair idea on the improvement if any.
                I would pick up a bulb if the improvement is significant..for now i am happy with the stock bulb

                    If you get any news about a spare visor for Sparx S07 helmet please PM me or inform here.
                    Btw helmet is very good. It's as gud as new even after 3 yrs of fast riding. Very gud quality.

                      I guess I'll have a repeat of your experience in a few hours when I get to ride my bike for the first time.

                      Reached home early morning, but bike isn't here as my uncle has taken it for registration to Alappuzha (My family lives in Cochin now). I know, I should have taken the bike myself, but that isn't practical because I stay in Trivandrum temporarily for a training thingy.
                      Checked the VIN and my bike is a NOV 2015 model, not surprised as I booked and got the bike allotted in DEC. Not disappointed one bit for getting an older model because this is the culmination of almost 2 years of waiting. Gonna pick up new riding gear tomorrow and mostly take things slowly for at least a week. Gotta ride to TVM on Sunday and back to sitting in front of a computer.

                      God.....I am so freaking excited!!!! I'm probably gonna babble on and bore you guys to shit.
                      Must ride on!

                        hahah, just enjoy the ride though. Even I got a Nov, 15 as per VIN even though I booked in Jan! Anyways, it's okay You'll notice the throttle open up nice after 200 KMS or so

                          Got to take the bike out for a short ride by around 10:30. Loved every bit of it, but it was too short to make any real observation except that the chain is bone dry. Gotta lube it first thing in the morning. And I'm struggling with being smooth on the on-off throttle throttle transitions. But that's probably because I have only ridden the bike for 3 KMs. The slipper clutch basically negates my rev matching skills. But I am pleasantly surprised that the seats dont seems hard to me, though that is the popular opinion.

                          Going to sleep half heartedly.
                          Must ride on!

                            Was using plywood for the same. But, doesn't feel good. Thinking of buying CBR 250 Paddock Stand. Costs around Rs.3,000/-

                            Around Rs.650/-. I was thinking of buying in local shops but there are plenty of fakes. Finally bought from Amazon. This one's made in Germany. Original Philips product.

                                Guys,
                                Its day 4 with my duke 390 and the coolant level has reached the minimum level
                                What could be the reason?
                                And what's the solution of this?
                                [/SIGPIC]PULSATING 22o
