The increase in performance is directly proportional to the size of the hole in your pocket :DComment

I wasnt there when they were fixing the rim. But basically its a heat treatment process where in the bent part is heated and "pressed" back into shape!Originally posted by Sarvajit View PostCould you please explain what exactly they did, and some pictures would be really helpful too!_________________________

Ditto with me as well, got the rim replaced under insurance. Total cost was around 26,000, out of which insurance paid 23,550.Originally posted by Hyperion View Post
Thought of taking the old rim (as it had a bent at one place only), repair it and keep it as backup. But, the insurance guy broke 2 spokes as well to make it unusable.

Still confused I am...
whether to go for repair or replacement..
Had a word with Prasanna and he told me that i should go for insurance and get it replaced as he told that if i get it repaired .. and just incase of another impact the Rim would crack...
..
But are the Rim so fragile or he just told me to make some bucks.RIP MarcoComment

Alloy wheels are made of an alloy of 2 or more metals, usually magnesium being one metal. The advantage is the wheel is light yet strong. But any damage will compromise its structural strength and therefore its not advisable to repair (by hammering or beating it down to shape) further making it weak.Originally posted by vkuchhal View Post
Best and safest bet - get a new rim and peace of mind. You wouldnt want to have the thought of suffering a cracked rim at 140+kmph would you?

What is the Idle Rpm for Ninja and also any got manual in Pdf formatComment

rpm

Yes, This is true for all FI engines (and cars too). When the engine is cold it will revv at a higher rpm than normal and once it reaches the optimum temp the revv's will stabilize at a lower rpm level.Originally posted by karthiktup View Post
You can increase or decrease the idle speed. There is a screw for that. Refer to the manual for more information.

Check this out - Chain Lube... What Do You Use and Why?? - ninjette.org
Looks like its miles ahead of the Motul chain lube which we use for our bikes.
Have spoken to the guys at DuPont India and will try and source the product here.
Approx. cost is 900 per can (as confirmed by the DuPont rep) but trying to get a better deal since i am assuming a lot of us would like to use this instead of the Motul which is widely used.
More info when i hear from DuPont.
Product info - DuPont? Teflon? LubricantsATGATT - Because hospital ceilings are boring !!!Comment
