    The 250 also has a balancer. If you check their global website they have posted photos of what the engine looks like from the inside.
    Engine with cylinder < 4 needs balancer shaft

        I would have probably tried to get it Nickel coated. Would be expensive but at least I would have the shiny
        Even i thought that it was rust. It Isn't . The exhaust bend pipes are actually golden in color. But attracts a lots of mud onto it .... probably due to the heat and the mud dries of faster. One day i noticed that using a soft gauze i could scrape of the mud and get back the golden color of the bend pipes. As far as I think I doubt these pipes would rust.

              He was at only 30 KM/h when a cyclist came in front of him. He could not see him as there was an auto beside him. He is yet to get the frame sliders. Hopefully dealer gets it soon.
              That's a lot of damage for a fall at that speed. How did the exhaust get damaged ?
              Just noticed the bill is from Bangalore. Who does the bike belong to ? I might know him. Hence asking .

              Update - Yes I know him. He is in the Benelli BLR Whatsapp group.

              The exhaust was replaced as there were scratches after he skidded on gravel while avoiding the cyclist ... no damages other than that ...

                How about adding the Current Spare cost on first page of this thread so all the owner and prospect owners can also have an idea about the cost of the spare parts

Headlight assembly gone to pieces totally, left side engine casing has the biggest hole and front fork bend with a crack on left side swing arm'(due to heavy impact). Funny thing about that bike was, it wasnt even registered, so no insurance I guess. That bloody f****ing idiot has driven this bike at 160 kmph and tried to negotiate a turn and went and hit the barricade.

                  Poor thing to these bikes who doesnt value it at all.
                  I saw a 300 which was unregistered sitting for repairs graphite black color today some guy dropped it while transporting it to the workshop

                    Right, just scratches but no major damage. By the way I spoke to him yesterday and he told me how famous his crash story has become in the WhatsApp group

                        Resqtech inflator is super small n comfortable to carry. Was available on amazon.



                        Puncture kits should be available at automobile stores on JC road. Kit comes with necessary tools. Good to buy pliers.

                            This looks like a VFM product. I have placed an order with Amazon yesterday. The current price is Rs 999.

                              There is nothing much to fiddle. Just a positive & negative wire connects directly to battery.

                              Sorry I haven't explored manual inflator. You will get foot pumps but not sure on how small n portable they are. You can check at Decathlon too, I'm sure they will have something.
