    Updates are as below:
    My TBTS has completed 92000 golden kms in 2 years 7 months. Recently, we have done few memorable rides as below:
    Ride to Kanyakumari
    Ride to Rann of Kutch
    Ride to RE Ridermania
    RIde to BOBMC ridermania
    Ride to Mumbai and Konkan
    Ride to Vizag
    Ride to Dhanuskodi and Kumbakonam

    Apart from that, few more rides which are in the 500-1000 km range.
    Big number 92000 in comparatively very short span of time. Do keep us updated.

    BTW what exactly happened to cam wheel and rocker arm?

          Yesterday, my bull's second service was done at 2445 kms............there was an oil leak from the right side of the engine as shown in the pic of the above post........got it cleared.......loosened the chain a bit as the chain was hitting somewhere when driving on bumpers, potholes and unsteady roads.......I don't think that problem is solved but loosening the chain was good......got tuned the engine as my mileage was low averaging 32-33......I think they adjusted the slow speed.....Engine oil was low so they top upped it with 250ml........But my ASC used Petronas engine oil for oil changing in the first service and during the second service they used Royal Enfield Liquid Gun engine oil for top upping........Is there any problem with that...???
          It's not about how hard you get hit... It's about how hard you get hit and just keep moving forward.

          Your story may not have such a happy beginning... But that doesn't make you who you are... It is the rest of your story... Who you chose to be.

            The oil is supposed to be changed at every service and not just topping up.

            Ride safe and have fun.

              Nope......the oil change is at every alternative service..........i.e; at every 6000 kms.......oil top upping at every 3000 kms.......my bike's oil was changed at 500 kms......now its just 2500 kms.......will change it at 3rd service which is due in april 4th week.

                Ok ok.. My bad.
                I didn't knew it was like this for RE's.
                As for your query regarding oil mixing, if both the oils had same grade, then its all fine

                Ride safe and have fun.

                  Yeah, the oil used is of same grade.........But even though oil changing is at every 6000 kms, there are many who does it at every 3000 kms which is very good. Thanks for your reply buddy.

                    Hey Guys,

                    Just had a crash on my TBTS 350 (new model). A rikshaw guy came into my way all of a sudden and in the efforts of not-rushing-into-him, I lost my traction and boommmm...
                    Now the scene is, some scratches here n there on my body... well, no issues. They will be fine in some days...
                    Some scraches on bull ! Console broken !! WTF !!! NOT acceptable...
                    So I want to change my console now. Can someone please tell me the price of new console ???

                      My bull's chain touches the bush (swimg arm bush I think so) and making sound while riding and when the bike hit potholes, the chain gets hit in the bush or somewhere else making metallic sound. I went to a mechanic who worked in RE showroom who now starts his own RE workshop, he checked the issue and told me one side of the chain is loose and the other side tight. My bike has just finished second service and has ran only 2600 kms. The mech is surprised to see a chain happening like this in just 2600 kms. He told me as the warranty period is not over, go for ASC where I have serviced to rectify the issue. Can anyone help with this.....????

                      It's not about how hard you get hit, it's about how hard you get hit and keep moving forward.

                          How do I cope up with the umpteen tiny scratches which show up on my baby every day I am waxing every 15 days now

                            Always dust your bike before you wipe it

                              Hello All,
                              I got the Indore Silencer fitted at Sandhya Motors, Bangalore yesterday. After fitting the silencer, the Centre stand is slightly hitting the silencer when I remove the stand.
                              Any suggestions how I can adjust the silencer or centre stand?

                              -Regards,
                              Sudhir MK

                                Not much issue. Either get the clamps twisted a bit to avoid the contact you add one more rubber pad in the center stand
