Hi Guys,

Earlier I had my monitor burnt down and I am out of job and a month ago I had an accident. That is why I did not post anything here, I did not have any means to read 100s of threads a day like I always used to on xbhp. Well, now I am fine, got hip injury, not very big, just that I hit the ground on the on the hip joint, got few harsh bruises on the back which are still healing. I hit a lorry from behind, Lorry guy just suddenly went on from speed of 40 to 5 in 1 sec, looks like he was searching for a shop while driving in middle of main-road and he found the shop and suddenly braked. I was at speed of 40 too but could not come to halt in 1 sec and neither could turn to the left-right side of the lorry because of traffic going on same speed, it was main-road hence I could have gotten crushed by vehicles coming from behind if I would have suddenly turned. Anyway, the bike went under the lorry, some guys helped me to get the bike out and as soon it was taken out, the lorry guy sped like lion running behind him and I did not even not the number down because took me a while to get up and understand what just happened.

I applied for insurance and whole story I will cover and update it here once I get the claim settled

Here are some pics:

@Rahul_Seeker : Yeah Rahul. Thank You. You remind me of my friend who said "How dare you let anything happen to your bike ? "

@Pique242: Thank you man. I am getting better, I am walking and a month more I will be running too.

@rk1685: Yeah RK. Exactly same I thought when I got up from road after few seconds of unconsciousness. My head hit the road thrice, almost 10 feet of rolling & rubbing on tho road after I hit the ground. when I saw nothing really serious, life threatening happened to me. Same thought occurred to me, Bike can be repaired and I can even get a new one better but I cant get better body for myself.

@IamAditya: Yeah Aditya, thanks. It was sad and still because of God's blessings I was saved from any major injuries. You know even the truck which was bringing my bike rim got accident. That's one reason repair got delayed

@ashwinprakas: Yes Ashwin, I told same to Mechanic. I told him no matter how much time it takes, I want everything to be done well because I don't want to get into future problems on road driving this bike because of saving money or time right now. Told him not to focus on insurance but do his best and he did. Check the pics down.

@SimpleGmail: Yeah man, I got financial loss but I am still happy because I am whole 100% eating my food and getting up and sleeping normal. My friend even gifted me his 2nd hand monitor on which I am typing this.

[SIZE=5][COLOR=#b22222][SIZE=4][FONT=arial black]I am very much glad at your replies, I think I am able to get so much happiness because all of you blessed me indirectly without even having seen me. Since I don't drink, now coffee in Starbucks is due from my side to all B]

Bike used to have Iron Mudguard but since it no longer in production, they put CT100 Mudguards, its plastic.

Some scratches are still there

Here is how it looks now

I had no idea that there used to be a metal guard. Thanks for the input. Plus I bet plastic would be lighter and cheaper.

Don't worry about the box, it's bound to loose colour, a little DIY'ing would cover it up.

So after a week I started the motorcycle to ride it to office from where I'd ride it to my native once my shift ends.

Normal start routine didn't work as expected, so had to turn the engine a few times with the ignition off before she'd come alive and maintain idle with the ignition on.

After starting up and idling for around 3 mins. I got on and started to ride, it was funny as I was getting some weird noises from the front which went away after a few hundred meters. There was a few missed beats but as I make it a point to only upshift from first once the bike is able to maintain a consistent speed, she was back to normal in a few seconds and we headed straight down to office. I get the feeling that this motorcycle needs to be used daily, the reason I refrained from doing so is cause my office is only 2~3kms from the place where I stay.

As if now I can't wait to ride home in the evening.

Oh yeah, I spotted rusting on the metal leg of the indicator switch. But u guess it's normal.

UPDATE.

She's completed over 400 kms now, yesterday had taken the long route home and rode along with a colleague of mine who was on his Splendor which has close to 85k on the Odo, Man! Was the Splendor fast, had a real hard time keeping up. It was funny cause the first iteration of the Kawasaki designed motor used in the CT100 had a R.A.C.E badge on the crank case.

ANOTHER UPDATE.

She has completed 500 kms now and I've gone for the first and most essential upgrade already.







Spot them if you can

Have you changed the Mirrors or the handle completely

So I got my first service done today. Everything was fine in service except the brakes were tightened too much.

When I returned home, I felt the bike was little slow in pickup, but smoother. Also engine noise felt was less.

But the point of concern was, when I checked the bill properly at home, I saw they used Bajaj SAE 20W50 oil and charged 390 for that. However the owner manual recommend 10W30. Anyone faced similar issue? I'll take up this issue in ASC Tom. Will be glad if anyone can provide some info till then.
