    Shot during a recent trip to Chikmaglur 😁 T-log to be out soon . We covered 1850 odd kms and she gives me the same adrenaline like 80k kms ago !

        Thanks buddy. Yes, in Dec (probably in between 18-20), informed Debraj as I would be there just for one day (Icchapur). Ping me if you would be there too.

          Thats a nice video prateek bhai!
          I had a question about the sj mount on the windscreen, is it a curved mount or the flat mount? I have a flat mount with me and I was thinking of mounting it on the windscreen but the windscreen is slightly curved, hence the question!

            Using curved bhai. Although the flat can be used onthe side of the windscreen (white portion).

                  Hi all,

                  While putting the shell ultra engine oil myself, I spilled around 200ml by mistake and could pour in only around 800ml..

                  I'm going on long ride next week and I will be covering 640km on coming Tuesday and return journey will be the next Sunday.. Will it hurt my engine if I have only around 700-800ml oil.?
                  It's the journey that matters, not the destination.

                    Hi.
                    For such a long distance 800ml of oil will not be sufficient i guess. It will not do the job of lubricating & protecting the engine. Had it been usual city commute it would have been fine for 500 odd kms.
                    In case you cant afford another shell ultra. Get the semi synthetic ax7 & pour in the 200ml. You will have a peace of mind while doing such a long trip.

                      Hi guys,

                      I am planning to change my front tyre, which has covered 30k+ kms and there is not much thread left(may last another 3-4k kms). But there is a huge puncture, so thought better off replacing the tyre.

                      I have shortlisted Zapper FY1 but saw it was a 90/80 profile, but the stock is 90/90. Will it cause any problems? Appreciate views how's the tyre if anyone using the same.

                      And one more issue,

                      There is engine oil leaking from the head of the engine, I noticed it recently but I don't have a idea when it started. What could be the issue? Oil level is near low level. I'm using AX 7 by the way.

                      I can go a mech only next Monday. Anything I should particularly enquire him about.

                        Hi bro.. I'm using MRF Zapper FY1 for the front since 4.5K kms.. Below are my observations -
                        1. Much better grip than stock tyres in all conditions.. Never felt any slide or skid even on hard braking..
                        2. Reduces height at the front a little bit since it's height section is 80% which is not an issue..
                        3. Easily flickable and is a bit lighter than stock tyres..
                        4. Can easily lean on corners.. This depends on your rear tyre also.. It's very easy for me since I changed the rear also to MRF Zapper Vyde around the same time..

                        No issues faced till now with the MRFs and I'm quite happy with my purchase.. Front cost me Rs. 2200 after negotiating..
                        It's the journey that matters, not the destination.

                          Thanks for the feedback. I too changed to Vyde sometime ago. As you are from Bangalore where did you get the FY1. I'm going to JC road this Sunday, any particular shops to enquire?

                            [MENTION=67164]sdhanush1[/MENTION] : How many kms have you ridden with AX7? If its near low level, try avoid riding it till you get it refilled. Most probably a gasket change will do the job but thats one probability only.

                              Around 1600 kms.. But I think around 100 ml of oil has been leaked and I'm on the lower end of the stick.

                                I got it from Dhanush tyres near BTM water tank stop.. They themselves did the fitting and they charge Rs.30 extra for that.. Search for MRF tyres on google maps, you will get all dealers and their phone numbers.. Please note, Dhanush tyres is wrongly marked on google maps..

                                Better to call and ask for availability before going..
