    Not using a paddock. With the way the exhaust is placed, there is anyways very limited place to access the chain to clean it. With a paddock, it becomes even more difficult. Therefore, gonna put the centre stand from Triumph. It is for about ₹12,000.
    Centre stand for 12000?got from triumph ??

            So currently without the centre stand it takes two people. One person pushes the bike while the other sprays the lube on the chain as the bike rolls forward.
            Alternately, you can get a full chain clean done at Triumph itself for ₹250. They do a splendid job

              I'm 450 kms away from service. So I have to do it myself. Very tedious.

                    Have your exhaust header pipe change Color ??I saw one bike in service with black Color header and mine started changing now at the top of the headers.

                      Hey Man,
                      I'm doing great. Haven't got to ride the last week, but I'm hitting the road tomorrow with a couple of friends.

                      The engine does run more relaxed after the first service. I don't know if it's smoother, cause it was already so damn smooth.
                      And no, I don't feel the buzz. I used to feel it on my Duke 390, but that's cause I had a real loud horn. Have the triumph guys tighten your horn mountings, as a horn produces sound through vibrations, and those get transfered through the bike, so tightening it should solve the issue.

                      I haven't got the centre stand yet, as it still hasn't arrived.
                      I've decided to not take a windscreen though, as I had a RE Himalayan for a few days with me for a story we were doing. I realised that while a windscreen blocks wind, it also blocks all ventilation, making it really hot. Besides, it may or may not lead to buffeting around your helmet. So no windscreen for me.

                        Every exhaust changes colour due to the oxidation of the metal and heat. It will turn to a bluish goldenish colour, so don't worry, it's perfectly normal and is not damaging your exhaust in any way.

                                Hey man,
                                I'm good. Finished about 4200km now. Triumph have still not got the accessories, which is pretty disappointing and extremely unprofessional. They keep giving excuses, and rather than waiting, I'm trying to see if I can get a local guy to fabricate a stand.
