You can install after market LED indicators with a little jugaad. Also, remember, LED indicators require a different flasher relay than the stock one.

Planing to upgrade to LED Indicator bulbs. Want to know what is the Fit for the Bulb. Is it straight fit or cross fit for the bulb. If possible, please any one post the pic of the Indicator bulb from the back side of the, so that I can understand it is a Straight fit or cross fit.

    Your response to this is highly appreciated on this. Please try and respond as quickly as possible. Thank you.

    I was hoping if anyone can give some insight on how good the bike is for 2019 and beyond.
    It obviously didn't start nicely but with the new model, I guess it's on the good track.
    I own a P220 and comtemplating the idea of getting a bigger yet practical bike to live with.
    Everyday bike to live with....

    The point is that you need to let the air or whatever ( in boat races , there is a special cooling system for the exhaust or on a jet plane )
    cool the air around the pipe , so a titanium is nice but will cost more than the bike ;
    and this tape will not so this job . in this case . On this bike .

    The thread is hardly 150 pages. 10 pages a day, you should read the entire ownership in 15 days maximum. Piece a cake? That should yield you all the information you require.

    In fact i did not do a job : the mechanics doest it, he is good , former working for KTM racing team , now retired in countryside places.
    I know a lot about spokes and will take care of it . Even if I am not so light( around 84 ) , the load will be less than 15 .
    On this well done himmie, it will be OK .
    And do not worry anyway, I am not leaving EU this time.
    Maybe next year with a pal towards eastern Russia , or , if am strong minded enough , ride and meet you guys ?
    It might be possible through Iran with maybe a boat afterwards ... a kind of reverse of

    That's great, VF. I do follow Ms. Itchy Boots too, her videos are extremely hands-on and not to mention Basanti.

    oil ok , no loose
    spikes tighten : think about it
    valve did not move : good new for the big ride
    little link on the left part of the head , new toric joint and right torque
    usb device on bars
    back tyre ; soon changing
    now time for fixing the material : will make a picture
    leaving around the 8 th of may
    Strongly recommend you to check your wheel spokes for trueness, as they are the vital part of the hub assembly and they take in almost all the load and weight. Secondly, the fact that there is no oil leak and the valves are within spec is good sign. Make sure whatever bolts removed from the bolts is Loctited and yes, get a new O ring for the head cover, you should be set. All the best.

    Cheers!

    You can use high temp paint. They are made specifically for such uses.
