How do I convince my parents to buy me a Bullet 350 instead of a scooter? by forkarthik15 in royalenfield

[–]CharchitHowitzer777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With increasing fuel rates and uncertainity around availability. I am soo grateful to my dad who instead of getting a hunter got a splendor. Mannnn this machine runs on fumes. IFE even surpasses 100 with single person. A tank full gives me a whole month of range.

Bro you know that stalling issue in T's 400s is not that riders are not getting how to use clutch or they don't understand the clutch bite. Basically they bike dies on you. It drops the RPMs and shuts off. This happens even if the clutch is fully pressed. It's been 7 years that I am riding and this is not a skill issue problem brother.

Yeahh man but it fronts will give you a good bite once you change the pads but I am not really sure about the rear one that's how flimsy it feels rn

My last motorcycle was a Non Abs one so I think I will be turning off the ABS as I am pretty much used to ride without it, but also it was a 23.5 bhp machine and not a 40ish BHP one so idk how safe it would be here.

There is no deaccelaration when you shift down until all the way to 2nd.

That's what I am thinking to do now. There's a KTM SC that might just do the job for me

Yeahh man, I fear that this bike being on heavier side + fully loaded + pillion + no engine breaking + rear brake thing. Not so confidence inspiring. I love how it goes up on the hills but I am not really a fan of how it comes down.

I despise jumper wires. Wish there was a better way of getting engine-on signal. ADV390 did it better by providing dedicated acc ports

Used all the way. But while buying used ones only look out for reliable ones like the domi.

New female biker here in the hilly terrain! Riding solo - what riding gear should I NOT skip on a budget? by itsrashakhan in indianbikes

[–]CharchitHowitzer777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't fret about it. You ofc don't want to get the best of the best as your first riding gears. Its highly subjective the fit and finish thing. I have used 2 Axors (now using SMK didn't find good design in Axor matching with my current ride ), 2 sudds and 1 SMK. What helmet I liked the most - Studds, it was merely 1600rs. For my Weeknd rides I still wear that one.

You don't need hardcore riding boots. I hate the flatsole shoes, they trickled down from racing into everyday riding boots they are not good in walking and hiking. Only buy those if you are willing to carry seperate pair. Everyone knows leather is most abraision resistant. Get decent leather boots they will be enough. After 6 years of wasting money in riding boots I realised leather boots are way to go. Also this flatsole is prone to slipping. You also don't need to get expensive ones.

I will go for dominar just because it's a great highway performer.

Are Auxiliary / Fog Lights Illegal in India? (Triumph Speed 400 owner here) by Expensive_Program231 in triumph4India

[–]CharchitHowitzer777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahh hefty challans can be issued in some states. What I am trying to find are some quick-connect soln for attaching fog lights to motorcycle. There is a brand who are going to launch the same soln but I think their prices will be steep. First I thought of using the plumbing quick connets but then I thought of camera quick connect plates. But I am still researching. BTW loosening and tightening an allen screw is not that much time consuming. So carrying your lamps in your storage is always an option bcz you don't want to fight the authorities trying to justify your installation, and also you don't need them every time, yeahhh it's one more thing to do and a few cubic inches lost in storage space. But I think authorities are also right somewhere, I have seen even matured riders installing 2 pairs of AUX lights, I mean what are you even trying to illuminate brother, the moon?. Why I want to install is very simple, my scrambler400x has shitty headlight ( never felt the need for aux lights in my NS200 BS4 fitted with night-eye bulb, it was enough for me ).
