    Congrats to both of you strider & The celebrity.Wish you many more happy miles on your beloved machines.
    @The celebrity Do share the servicing cost so that both can be compared in terms of servicing cost.I think Ninja's servicing cost is not that low considering its spare parts are costly.

        I'm yet to do my major service at 13K. For comparing you can check out the Ninja 250R thread where riders have already posted it.

          Finally They Arrive

          After 7 months and 5 days, I finally get the Michelin Pilot Road 2s for my R1
          The adrenaline kept me awake last night

          Special thanks to Gowtham who carried them from US and very grateful to Vasuki

          Special mention of Akhil aka rossiter, who lent me a spare tyre to keep me on the saddle; I mean it is so hard to believe that such a fantastic gentleman is out there.

          Thank you xBhp, because of you I have had the privilege to meet such wonderful people

          Thanks fellas

          Now the GIFT (Great Indian Food Trip) beckons

              Nope Nikhil, since that panga between tyre manufacturers and the government regarding an ISI stamp on imported tyres...

              Sad part is that it still hasn't been resolved.
              Affected Manufacturers include Michelin(most-hit), Pirelli

                  Back to Touring

                  It has been 2 months since I have done a big one on the R1 mainly due to unavailability of tyres and the long pending service.

                  Last week these 2 were checked and this is the end result


                  For the Road

                  Service Stats:
                  - Airfilter change
                  - Oil and Oil filter change
                  - Tyre change (front and rear)
                  - New battery

                  Costs:
                  - Battery: 8k
                  - Service cost +spares: 7.9K
                  - Tyres: $270 (front and rear - carried by a friend from US)


                  The End Result

                              lucky you, atleast you used to get 800 bucks as petrol allowance back in 2005, I'm a 2nd yr. engg. student, but heck I don't even get 500 bucks as petrol allowance in 2011. Back then fuel was cheap, you managed to save... The fuel prices are sky-high, my bike starves for fuel but I don't have money, it just stands parked in my parking area.
                              Its the fusion of a two wheeled machine & a human being which creates a true biker.

                                Well we dont have any control on the raising fuel prices.
                                I believe that 'Actions indicate priority'.
                                If riding a bike is so dear to you, you will figure out a way to save/earn some money for fuel.

                                Sorry if i sound rude.
