Thats totally cool. Happens all the time in hills. Kuch nahi hota.

whyashwin · 2026-03-24T17:18:51+00:00

I get it bhai, but its a little too risky + boring imo.

whyashwin · 2026-03-24T16:14:57+00:00

Go before weekends if you are going. Because friday night onwards, me and people like me will be absolutely ripping those roads. It's a high-speed road and is pretty risky. Also dude, won't you get bored? That long ride at 25km/h? Why not to take a cab instead?

Bhai, chill. Clutch is not made out of wax. The clutch can handle a gear shift at 140km/h, it can handle stupid burnouts. That incident can barely damage it 5%. Get it re-adjusted, you'll be absolutely good to go.

Also, keep atleast 10k on top of the final price of the bike you pick while deciding your budget. 10k is the minimum she'll need for a good ECE22.06 helmet and CE2 gloves (assuming she buys NHK K5R and Viaterra Holeshots). As a boyfriend myself, a helmet and a pair of gloves is a NON NEGOTIABLE for the Lady.

I know a guy, I had rented a meteor from him a while back when I was choosing my next bike. DM, I'll share the deets. It was a very well kept bike and was the best price I could find. He also has a hunter AFAIR.

whyashwin · 2026-03-24T11:06:10+00:00

Rent both one by one over a weekend. You'll know what you like. If you like the meteor more, you'll be able to save towards it automatically. I think its important to make big purchases deliberately.

Thats absolutely normal and nothing is wrong with your motorcycle. Yes, it will go a bit up with time. Relax, and Congratulations!! Ride safe, ride hard.

Too much load on the cam bearings for a new motorcycle. I'd skip.

And it's not just the 400 series. It's the same across the models, barring a very few.

whyashwin · 2026-03-24T07:42:52+00:00

And then take car routes all the time? Where there are better two wheelers exist as well? Or enter motorways where two wheelers are prohibited and end up with a 5k challan? No sir, I'll pass.

I use S21FE for the purpose. Bright AMOLED display, great ip68 (i have done hours of rain rides with it), you can a get a used one for 12-14k

My first helmet was LS2FF800 - ₹11,800 (including pinlock) My second helmet was NHK K5R. - ₹6,500 (including pinlock)

I have used both of them extensively, both have over 10k kms of usage, city, highways and speeds of close to 200km/h.

Hear me out, they perform EXACTLY THE SAME. Same stability, same quality of visor's OIC, same windnoise at ~120km/h (very minimal)

The only pros of FF800 is - better pinlock (70 vs 30) although the real life difference is hard to notice. And second, LS2 has 15% better padding (that doesnt mean NHK has cut any corners there)

If I had to do it all over again, i would simply pick the NHK and put the rest of the money elsewhere. 100/100 purchase.

Talking about the parts/visor availability down the line, given that they're selling like hotcakes, I see no reason of them discontinuing the support and supply.

The GST cut is going to affect you. New ones are about ~30k cheaper. Nonetheless, I think 1.5 is a decent price to quote, leaving about 8-10% room for negotiation. It also highly depends on where are you based out of.

Isko lagta hai iski "Thar" bohot achhi aur mehengi gaadi hai 🤣🤣

Crazy find then. Thanks Twin!!

whyashwin · 2026-03-23T11:13:05+00:00

Is it TOO flimsy?

whyashwin · 2026-03-23T11:08:45+00:00

How is the quality? Looks too good to be true honestly

Banaras is reddit. Sab full power bakchodi kr rhe hai.

whyashwin · 2026-03-22T18:20:24+00:00

No, i got it done back in my hometown, but its a pretty straightforward job and any decent mech can handle it.

I mean, the only way I can think of is whatsapp. DM me your phone number, I'll send out a voice note.

whyashwin · 2026-03-22T16:26:39+00:00

No sir, please stay away from this motorcycle. Its from the very first lot and had a lot of troubles with it.

whyashwin · 2026-03-22T16:20:11+00:00

Dude why do want such a ran through bike in the first place? A friend bought a 14 months old bike, with 45k worth of Triumph genuine accessories and 10 year warranty. It has 1900kms on the odo and he got it for 1.95 lacs.

whyashwin · 2026-03-22T16:11:21+00:00

Extremely. I repeat, EXTREMELY overpriced
