  • I own r15 from Aug'08. I too feel pain in my palm during city driving and long (more than 100kms) highway driving. Will, wearing a glove solve the problem. I am 179cms and 83 kgs. All other things I like very much and it is the only problemin riding.

    Thats more than a year you owned the bike. I've done small tours on it and I've no complaint. Please check your sitting style, whether you're putting weight on the wrist instead of holding the tank with your thighs and knees. Basically, pressure should only come on the wrist while braking, that too you should keep elbows bent so that your hand itself absorbs any shock, and wrist is not strained.


    If I didn't use the bike for 3/4 days the rear tyre deflates but no puncture is found. On continuous usage the pressure remains correct. Doesn't get how ?

    This is a little weird. Try over-inflating the tyre and see if it helps. Is there any chance that you hit a pothole and your rim might have got bent?

    I bought the racing blue colour, but now I've changed the colour to Red by buying the full body kit. Now it is awesome.

    Glad you love it, its your bike

                      Slightly more cheaper. the panels are reasonably priced, and if you are looking at swapping colors, including the tank, you should be done in about 12-13k. Front outer panel ( that holds the indicator ) is like 750-800 bucks. Visor glass is 240-250 bucks. And everything else is in the same ball park.. so its not that expensive

                              I don't sell these kits man. I need the cam so looking for some buyer .

                              The pics don't do justice man. You need to see the hids in person then you can judge them . I don't get the funda about taking pics on a well lit road ? about "try to get on one on a well lit road" When you have light on the road why you need to switch on the HID

                                ASAI understand...the guy just wants to compare how strong it is compared to street light visibility...but agan...your point is stronger
                                Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.
