    Any word on the FE of the Impulse??? Also how is the on-road handling of the bike???

    I still havent ridden it much so cant say much about handling. But according to the owner it handles very good. But due to some reason the bike jerks while braking if u use rear brake only and it goes left if u use too much front brake . Hero honda guys say this problem exists with all Impulses.
    Street racing is for Squids trying to make up for their small equipment

      AFAIK brakes on off road bikes behaves a bit differently then a street bike, off road bikes do not have sharp brakes but going toward left is what i didn't expect

            As far as my knowledge goes there was only one bike that had tubeless tires in spoke rims and that was BMW's bike. So no if it has spoke rims, the bike will not have tubeless tires.

                          planning ladakh on a bike that has just hit the road... IMO you should refrain from doing so... first let a year go by.. understand the bike and the limits and then take her to a highly demanding terrain like ladakh... in the mean time you can exchange your impulse with others and take their bike for the ladakh ride... i guess many wont have issues with it...

                                HL get DC once the engine gets on...i mean to say it does not get full supply Wit increase in rpm as its gets in AC Bikes like unicorn,hunk,xtreme etc..
