Battery needs to be charged. How old is the battery?? did you get it charged at any point of time?? if it is too old, then it needs to be replaced..

Happens to me too. Bike is 10 months old. There's a slight dip in the headlight when honked! As its a very minor issue I kinda overlooked.

Well of course I never said he can't. I don't know him well enough.
My longest run was 1370kms from opposite edge of Bangalore to Hyderabad up and down in two days but I am still to attempt anything as praise worthy as him.

hehehe.. thanks for reminding me

I might do another crazy run next year or soon after I buy a 600cc + beast.. K2K (Kashmir to Kanyakumari)

I love to tour

I love to ride

it is just, my office is just 3 kms from my house and I don't ride after I reach home.. Gym in the morning and going to office soon after i return is too tiring.. I have done long runs on my bike.. I can complete 5000 kms in a matter of weeks times.. but the thing is, my marriage is up next week and my parents don't even let me go out.. They insisted me in going to office in car.. I managed to go for a week but I couldn't resist from riding my Black Pearl.. (I had a big cut on my head when in gym with heavy bleeding so Mom insisted I go in car) had I gone on bike I would have crossed 45000 by now

Oh Yeah, I completed 3500 kms last month

touring the Passes of Himachal.. Rohtang Pass and Chanshal Pass..

Chanshal

[ATTACH=CONFIG]164069[/ATTACH]

Fetching Mountain water for Maggi and to drink at 12500 Ft above sea level in freezing conditions

[ATTACH=CONFIG]164070[/ATTACH]

The Tourer in me will come alive from Feb and I will start touring again (also in the money saving mode for my next bike) also in the process of searching for better opportunities and if I get the package I am expecting, I will have enough money to save for my next big bike and for touring on my Black Pearl

Me in New Delhi

I can complete those kms today itself if I wish to.. but the fact is, I have to be safe with my marriage next week (My mom's order)

Oh that's too bad. Maybe we'll meet up if the pan India g2g ever happens. Happy riding anyway.

In front of the battery. What has relay got to do here? Clean and lube battery terminals with Vaseline gelly.

Reneav, 40k in 8 months lol. No, but in 1.5 years maybe.

Sent from my phone. Kindly avoid it while riding.

Ok. The relay is located next to the battery. The starter relay.. the wire coming from starter motor connects the battery and self starter motor..

My Joy is also dead stock at 4 lacs kilometers. Ya the engine has been overhauled 3 times but the body hasn't been worked upon. Bike is still having the original clutch levers and brake levers. Even the throttle cable is the original that came with the bike. The rear wheel bearings are original.

My bikes first engine overhauling was done at 1.25 lacs kms.

You wont bother with the pads much once you've scratched your rotor(I was inexperienced then and followed SVC guidelines). And not to mention difficulty in sourcing it(still havent received a call back from Diya after ordering it.)

You can even say that I'm a bit paranoid, but with safety and scarcity of spares weighing on the other side I decided to be more sceptical with regard to replacement of consumables, but then again you're right. Its always best to be your own judge in such matters.

That was temporary, they kicked me out of the US and am back to Bangalore, couple more months to complete my PG's.

Bro, I performed the bleeding process last week with kmk bro's help. As for the brake pads, I got them inspected at ASC during last service and they said they were fine. Bike gas run 13K so far. Brakes are definitely tighter as there was a lot of dust in the fluid earlier to the bleeding process. My only concern now is the freeplay.

I am planning to remove the muffler shield as it has too many scratches now. I don't carry pillions anyways. Do you think its a bad idea to ride without that shield?

The play varies depending on the brake pad wear, nearing the end of my pads I could bring the lever close to the grip with some effort(Not recommended.).

Its better to keep the shield on, as I've learnt one thing from experience is to keep all the stock parts intact. In a fall its best to let the shield shell off some friction rather than to have the mounts scrape and resist against the tarmac.
