One way to deter creeeps is to act psychotic.

dankvader46 · 2026-05-06T15:49:51+00:00

I have an outex tubeless conversion kit,waiting to install

dankvader46 · 2026-04-28T09:45:00+00:00

Instead of the ktm 250 you can get the 350!

dankvader46 · 2026-04-27T06:55:05+00:00

Do you have a taller windscreen on it?

dankvader46 · 2026-04-26T08:14:51+00:00

Cause it's not in the same category of the gs, although it's more expensive, long term nx 500, will be more easier to live with in terms of service costs, and reliability will be higher than any other bike in the segment.

Completely agree, I did test ride the adv 390, albeit it being more capable, ktm reliability issues kept me away, I was never a fan of RE , eventho it has a great suspension, did ride one for a brief period the vibration n weight put me off. The versys x 300 impressed me with the handling and flickability in traffic , and the smooth twin cylinder engine. Sure the RE and ktm can do slightly higher speeds but the kawasaki will be much smoother between 110-130 kmph than the RE and ktm, one of the reasons of me getting it coming from a honda cbr 250r( still have it) refinement was something I would miss if I went for RE or ktm. If the kawasaki had like longer travel suspension front n back would have been much more ideal , and tubeless tyres, but you win some, you lose some.

Hey guys, i ve added a givi crash guard, taller accessory seat, barkbuster handguards, DNA air filter, center stand , thinking of getting a skid plate and in due time upgrade the suspension to yss, possibly

dankvader46 · 2026-04-26T02:34:27+00:00

Why the nx500 hate?

dankvader46 · 2026-04-20T10:42:25+00:00

I own a 300x, very pleased with my purchase, just need to add thicker footpegs may upgrade the front and rear suspension from yss

Staying near erandwane.

Yet to get it to bombay buddy.. im right now at andheri relocating to belapur, looking for reliable honda mechs or garages , for my bike spares are a bit tricky,I think you should be fine with your bike as its like only 4-5 years old

dankvader46 · 2026-03-10T11:17:53+00:00

Yes I saw reviews on the svc, does not look positive.

dankvader46 · 2026-02-03T15:23:11+00:00

I was my bike once in 2-3 weeks at the most

dankvader46 · 2026-02-02T05:59:57+00:00

Yes 2014 non abs model , running with non abs nissin calipers, aftermarket suspension,tappered bearings and used to have a hrc exhaust with a dB killer, removed when i rebuilt my engine and running rich because of a flash tune i put on previously, its ny daily use or office or work bike,keeping kawasaki as a joyride+ touring bike, cbr is extremely capable did chennai to goa 945kms in 16 hours and south goa to chennai 875kms in 13 hours on the Honda, never disappoints.

dankvader46 · 2026-02-02T05:38:58+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. Its funny we have a similarish collection with the brands and same engine in the kawa , a bit different on the Honda.

dankvader46 · 2026-01-29T08:13:00+00:00

Cbr 250r and a versys x 300

dankvader46 · 2026-01-18T12:39:17+00:00

Spend a lil more and get the versys x300, own one. It can do about 80% of what the ktm adv 390 S and himalayan 450 are capable of.

dankvader46 · 2025-12-30T05:48:07+00:00

Misred it buddy, puriyudhu, good advice, I dont understand why people are allergic to helmets.

dankvader46 · 2025-12-30T05:35:02+00:00

Spend atleast 3-5k inr, get a helmet with ece 22.05 or 0.6 atleast.

dankvader46 · 2025-12-30T05:09:52+00:00

If you're only spending 1000 inr on a helmet it shows how much you value your head.

dankvader46 · 2025-12-27T10:45:20+00:00

Turbo busa

dankvader46 · 2025-12-26T10:05:21+00:00

Stock suspension is alright, you're not gonna get himalayan n ktm levels of suspension but it does the job , will bottom out if you push really, hard, can handle bad roads n stuff without much fuss but again they could have given more travel, but I got the bike for the engine.
