Just returned from my first long ride! Travelled Hyderabad-Bangalore-Mysore-Bangalore-Hyderabad in 48 hours with a fellow xbhpian Harsha! Ninja is an amazing touring machine, never fully appreciated how comfortable and able the bike was till now! I worked on my weaknesses and practised whole set of skills throughout the journey (1700kms)...a very very rewarding experience, both the riding and the company

p.s. Hyderabad-Bangalore road is bliss! Bluevolt like always is right in saying that the road after kurnool towards bangalore is amazing and that the ninja felt small/underpowered for the roads on offer!

Today went on the pre-munnar trip.. and enjoyed it a lot... the roads are good.. Except at one place .their was a large pot hole.. was riding at 80+ so dumped into that.. and the rear rim has a bit of bend it. .. not a major one .. i suppose .. abit air leakage is their.. (very slow)

Where can i get it repaired in Bangalore.. and is wheel alignment is necessary ?

Please advice..

Even I have a bent rim, no air leakage though. The bike runs fine. I am going to get it replaced under insurance. I suggest you do the same. Avoid any urge or request to beat it back into shape.

How much does the new rim costs? and with that 95% recovery (in my case) , surely i have to spend some couple of thousand bucks. and it will take too much time to order and get a new one.

Thanks tibby. will surely check put this one , but removing the tyre and carrying it all the way, is a bit difficult.

Washing

Hey! What are you guys using for washing your Ninja's? I have been using my wife's 'Olay' body wash. Hoping that's good for the Ninja's skin too

**The Celebrity** · 03-07-2011, 12:56 PM

Back after my Devil's 2nd service. Total Service amount, General Checkup + Oil change (I sticked to DTSI Oil) + Polishing = 1361/- (incl of tax)

My Devil is all set for the Tri-State at Munnar this weekend.

I have been served without any issue so far in performance and capability.

**nishanth7777** · 03-07-2011, 01:24 PM

The rear rim costs something like 23K. Its your choice. I dont mind spending a few grand for the peace of mind it offers. Just dont try to beat it back in place, if anything, it will make things worse.

Even my 220's rim had a bend in it. Got it fixed for 450/- at Sai Iyengar, Lalbagh Road last saturday. I was a bit apprehensive about the whole process as any kind of such treatment is bound to introduce some amount of wobble in the wheel as it wont be perfectly balanced anymore. But no such issues, I did not feel any wobbles yesterday even at 130+ speeds.

You can try your luck at either place to get it fixed rather than paying 95% of 23K!
