I have been to HNP and found really cool stuffs. From helmets to exhaust. All necessary stuffs provided by them. Hope you guys can check out their store or their website.

    Wear helmet while riding and Stay Safe

    Thanks
    Yes they sell the ultra expensive s&s and one more similarly priced one. Other make of exhaust i dont think they deal in.
    But again the main point is all these are illegal and attracts 10k fine. Many in delhi have already paid this much of fine for exhausts.

    Hi everyone here I made this video on how to remove and change your Motorcycle's clutch cable.
    Process is same for most Motorcycles.
    Hope it would be helpful for others.

Should I get one done before travel or is it manageable? I'm concerned about getting a flat tire, something I can do in that case?
    Take hourly brakes, carry extra clutch wire if u wish. Clean and lubricate the chain before the ride then do lubrication post ride , something i noted that lubrication last around 400 to 500 kms easily on this chain.
    Don't hold one rpm for too long a stretch , keep a modulating right wrist, try to keep it at 4.5k to 5k rpm max. Don't rip the throttle. Accelerate gradually.
    Don't ride with your foot on the brake paddle (avoid accidental constant pressure). Adjust the angle of brake and gear lever according to your foot comfort.
    Carry size 8 open end spanner in case u need to open the bleeder valve of caliper.
    Use puncture sealant if u are sceptical about punctures.
    Sparkplug opening tool is not present in tool kit so can add that if u wish or u can use size 16 socket and wrench.
    Check and maintain tyre pressure before start in cold tyres.
    Make sure clutch wire is secured to frame via clips or zip ties to avoid accidental burn by exhaust.
    Tie ur luggage properly to avoid touching it on the exhausts.
    More importantly know your Motorcycle before u start.
    Keep your self hydrated.

    Yeah bro, definitely..

    Since most of rides on the highway zones here in Chennai to Sriperumbudur industrial zones, so I kinda go under the radar of cops. Though I must say we have very chilled out cops for Enfields here basically.

    Tamil Nadu mostly get angry or upset of the loud 4 cylinder superbikes and V8/V10 supercars, though they also most of the times escape due to influence.

    I'm keeping the stock exhausts handy too. If sometime soon a very stringent rule passes, I would just swap back to stock.

    After ordering them before lockdown initiated, eagerly waited for more than 70 days and received them only 5 days ago after manufacturing resumed, and installed them 2 days back.

    The ATOM slip-on exhausts from Barrel Exhaust is such an irresistible deal.

    Not only do they reduce the weight by around 7.4 KG from the stock exhausts, they also sound like an old school motorcycle now, with a growlier rumble. Being made from stainless steel is another bonus.

    Inspite of not having db killers/baffles, they don't sound too loud(like it's name suggests) and are rather surprisingly less vocal below 4000rpm, and go under the radar easily.

    From my initial impressions of riding about 200kms, highly recommended for those who want a smaller version of the stock exhaust looks.

    Cheers!

I was very wary of the service center going by the google reviews but it was a pleasant experience.
    Also the bike likes macho AF with the round headlamps. I wanted to get the fly screen accessory but the look is growing on me. I was also considering getting the X tape on headlight https://www.tripmachinecompany.com/p...-classic-black, what do you guys think ?
    Re fly screen is waste and very flimsy. Look for carbon racing windshield if u want protection form wind blast.
    X tape looks good .

They tried to clean it but it didnt work and they gave me the same assurance that it'll go away as water dries, I didnt take that and asked them to fix it right away. They then replaced the relay and it was fine.

    As vj mentioned , it should not be the case.
    I suggest to check for lose relay or sometimes water is the cause. Check mains relay and fuel pump relay. I have faced it once ,Mine went away after removing and re fixing the fuel pump relay.
    Nothing came out wrong in the ecu diagnosis , could also be a sensor error.

    Check engine can light up for a lot of different reasons, from as simple as a disconnected wire and water ingestion to as complicated as critical components failure. The diagnostic tool check up is not at all a thing of concern. It's connected to make sure to check the health of the vehicle, errors if any and clear them. The MIL should turn off once the engine has started, as a thumb rule. If you see the light, light up during riding, it means there is a fault somewhere and it requires the riders attention and should be attended sooner. I'd strongly suggest you give some time reading your owners manual, it's a boon in getting to know modern bikes and warnings and relieves unnecessary tension.

    Cheers,
    VJ
