  • Anybody from Rohini (Delhi) side?

    need to get my bike serviced (don't know when... xams going on... may on 17th.. if not 17th then in the second week of Jan) but not satisfied with the service center i use to go to. Want to try some other, if suggested.

    Anybody knows about Badli service center?

      Hopefully nothing like that The disc seems to be fine and the braking good...

      Will check with the SC tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

      Updated:
      Everything seems to be fine. Scraped the disc pad further. No more sound (fingers crossed). Met a guy at the SC who was replacing his rear disc pad at 6k kms (It was completely worn out )
      I asked if he used only the rear brake and he replied "Slow karne ke liye to picche ka hi use karna padta hai na". Advised him to use front disc more. But don't think he listened

              What's the cost of front tyre???
              P.S.- why had you removed the mirrors?? Bro,It's very unsafe to ride without mirrors.

                      Yo the bike looks cool but did u inquired abt the rear tyre i am in mood to change the rear one. Well even those mirror bugs me too as well seems like Rabbit ears

                      But to be more precise thats a safety especially where u r putting on helmets u cant turn back each time

                        the mirrors are supposed to be treated as a PORTION of the bike itself .. So any judgement of distance and clearance must take into account your mirrors also !!
                        It is super irresponsible to ride without them and even more so to have them and not learn to use em ..
                        And your "moving around in traffic" is waaay easier with mirrors because it makes sure you dont get hit by something from the back !!
                        Please dont come up with silly things like it may hit something .. Make sure they dont.

                        Well i dont mean to be harsh .. please dont get me wrong ..
                        Peace

                          Please put them back and take it easy for a couple of days... Before you know you'll get used to it!! And yes, it gets easier to move around in traffic without losing precious seconds looking sideways and backwards...

                          You know what, I broke my right side RVM on the second day. And I have to replace it ever so often, but I still religiously go and buy it the same day and use it all the time.

                          And moreover, if you need to participate in any xbhp rides, RVMs are mandatory :P

                                Ok. I'll share the trick I use. I adjust the nut at the base of the RVM such that it holds the mirror against the wind, but a slight push from the front will send it spinning back. That way it wont break and you can just push it back into place. (Still some morons manage to break it )
