For a silencer, I don't think this would work.

Its been around 3 months and it is working fine.
although powder coating is the best option, if one has the time and capital.

btw, this paint is meant for silencers, exhaust, and burners.
it withstands temperatures upto 400 F, and 600 F (for 350 INR).

Ok as I need a permanent solution, powder coating is what i will be going ahead with

Point 1 and 2 are incorrect... and are some of the worst misconceptions that people have about rain riding. Please correct your post.

I had blogged about some tips of rain riding (check link )

PS: Rain riding IS fun! Just like every other aspect of motorcycling, it tests your skill with the bike and ofcourse makes the journey cooler and the destination greener!

antz and a few other people pointed that out earlier. i apologized about it stating my lack of experience (obviously).

But what's wrong with point 2: 'using the front break gradually'?. You're saying the same thing in that article...

EDIT: Changed the previous post too

hahaha...there was no need to mention that u bugger..



The highlighted word meant holidays..not the one which you might have thought of or might be thinking of.

He was thinking of you! thats why he asked a sawaal baaba sawali! (And yes I know what it implies and what you just implied!)

Lack of traction, a rear lock is easier to cope than a sliding front....

yes but using only the rear isnt gonna stop you at all. So front gotta be worked and gradually as he and you both said. No ?

I would even contribute a bit of engine braking at right RPM's. It helps a lot and avoids locking of brakes (atleast for the rear tire).
The only thing here required is calm control over engine RPM's.

[satyenpoojary]

Yes! yes! but predominant use of rear brakes as against in dry conditions!

[vkavadia]

Yes! yes! but predominant use of rear brakes as against in dry conditions!

Right so basically don't use 70 30 braking. Front should be lesser.

I had been to lavassa today.
Had a slow ride to just enjoy the weather and scenic beauty that comes with the monsoons.
It was quite a good ride.
had a good time.
Still there were a few close calls when the local wanna be rossi's come cornering in the wrong lane right opposite you.
Also a word of advice, mud from the hills gets mixed with the rain and ends up on the road and can be really slippery so be careful guyz.

PS: saw a fellow Xbhpian on an R15 with blue Astar jacket.
He gestured me by using his pass light.
I didnt coz by the time i realised he had crossed me.
So I apologize.

I did see a Yellow R15. Not sure, if he was geared up. But did see one, who was riding sensibly. Any chance, it was you?
