    The normal puncture thing, the one where you insert a sticky patch in the hole. (LOL).

      Okay an important query for me and maybe for others too.

      I had a Pulsar220 earlier and had no issues while being ridden during Holi time.
      Because next day after a wash and polish, all colours gone and it's still Black.

      Last Holi I had RC390 but it was Mumbai.

      This year it's Delhi.. It will be cats & dogs of colours right from 8am to mid day.
      Do I have to park bike to keep it safe from colours or I can ride it during Holi while enjoying and there will be no permanent patch later on??

      I don't want those colour patches. Anyone had his experience from last Holi.. Please shred some help here!!!
      Uhmm anyone ?
      [MENTION=39214]B7ACKTHORN[/MENTION] Any info of this please ?

              Thanks a lot s1d and Mehernosh. Will do it myself today. The stock coolant which the bike originally came with is worthless absolutely. Yesterday the fan was almost on for an hour during my 90 minutes ride in city traffic.
              I bought it from themotoshop.in
              Will review it soon. Hope its as good as it is advertised.

                    I got it done on mine, it helps with the dust accumulation, and looks better too. Design can be anything of your choiceClick image for larger version

                        Even i want to do something to my windshield, can the windshield be tinted? I don't like the look of matte finish on the windscreen + translucent film may help if you want to see through too..

                          This is how you utilize an empty parking space. Looks straight out of a racing game.Click image for larger version

                          I had seen the iridium tinted windshield.pathetic quality of finish and looks el-cheapo for some reason.

                            the best way is always from the inside using a mushroom patch. it costs a bit more but is a safer repair method if done correctly.
                            though 99% of punctures are fixed by inserting the sticky string in to the tire .. customers aren't either aware or want a cheap quick fix.
