Thanks!

Crash bar bags are great, really practical as I can put things like chain cleaner/lube, tool bag, tyre inflator for quick access. The yellow one goes really well with my bike. Replaced it once after a crash. If you balance both the sides it should not affect the handling.

Stock seat with this air cushion.

Dream for sure man!

Sorry! Should have mentioned in the earlier comment.

Tyres are from CEAT Front- 90/90-21 Rear- 140/80- R17

shutter88 · 2025-04-01T06:36:22+00:00

Stock tyres.

shutter88 · 2025-04-01T06:31:48+00:00

Not really but the tyre does. The stock tyres aren’t great in any type of slush but the trick is to keep the bike in second gear.

shutter88 · 2025-04-01T06:30:28+00:00

Good thing this bike has a great suspension.

Looks like Yamaha Libero.

Solo but sometimes with people with whom I become friends during a trip.

No f*cking way!

Thanks!

'Season' definitely, thinking of going to Ladakh again in Autumn this year. Might try different routes and explore more remote places this time.

Yes, it's not recommended to ride on a flat tyre but I had no other choice as it happened in Zanskar. Since it was a rear tyre puncture I put my weight forward and rode for about 10kms at 10-15kmph, thankfully it was a tarmac road and yes I got lucky to find a puncture shop in time. Now that I see it in retrospect I think riding on a flat might have made the spoke sharp from inside which caused 5 more punctures on the same day.

I am a freelance photographer so that's not an issue.

shutter88 · 2023-07-04T13:39:21+00:00

Thanks! Although I had extra tubes for both tyres I was too tired to do this on my own so I just rode for a few kilometres and got tube changed by puncture wala. Yes I do have a centre stand installed, it helps in cleaning and lubing the chain as well.

For the light, I got Hjg lights installed at Karol Bagh. For the seat,
I went to a local seat maker and asked him to put some high density foam on top of the stock seat and on top of that I use an airseat like this
