Re: The day i brought "Mystique" home

@nicky_cool_dude_2004 : superb foto there... oh n btw, how do u get the bike cleaned up? u pressure wash it @ a nearby pertol pump or something? i've seen pressure wash denting radiator fins for some of the cbr250r's - does that happen to the n650 too? besides, considering the magnitude of the muck that will easily accumulate riding in rain, what care do u take to prevent rust, thorough cleaning of underbody & those hard to reach parts?
the fairing cowl, the exhaust, the mudgard undersides, the radiator grille, the tail-tidy / underseat will be some of the area where max muck gets accumulated... how do u get that cleaned?

Last time i cleaned it myself. A old faithful pipe and water from my friends building. Tomorrow will be pressure washing it. Yes pressure water does damage radiator fins. Thats what everyone has told me and i dont wanna try it either :P. Well as of not i havent taken any precautions as such for anti rust, and i dont think so you need to either. Well as for cleaning of underbody, I dismantled each part ie. the seat, windscreen and cleaned it thoroughly. As for the mudguards, you just need to spray water with a little pressure, and the whole thing washes off.

[MENTION=9327]nicky_cool_dude_2004[/MENTION] : nice clicks there in & around khandala / lonavla

i guess the rusting part is something that needs a lil due diligence.
there are a few posts on the N300 thread where owners are complaining of rust developing on the exhaust etc.

Me and another 650 had a fast 600kms run on 25-8-2013 from Mumbai - Nashik - Saputara - Vapi - Mumbai.. Pics below. The terrain varied from straight tarmac to slushy off roads. The ninja handled it flawlessly, without breaking a sweat.

Re: The day i brought "Mystique" home

We had a one day ride to Mahabaleshwar on 4th of nevember 2013. 500kms odd ride to and fro. The roads were amazing and the bikes were awesome. Mystique had a Zx10r to accompany her, name, Katana.. Let the pics do the talking.

1st stop at Lonavala Kamath and 2nd was directly at Panchgani.

There were total of 12 bikes, which included unicorns to ninja 650s to ds500's and zx10r. All in all one helluva
ride.
