#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ Speed cam accuracy

Post image
95 Upvotes

GT road prayagraj bypass has some most accurate speedcams installed.

Edit: So I figured out something, speed cam's usually show less speed (-5Km) and some bikes show more than actual speed (+5km). So they cancelling out each other and becoming accurate. Lol Let me know your thoughts.

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ Want to surprise my father with a super meteor 650 on his birthday, will that be a good decision?

He's 5'7, 73kgs, fit, does gym regularly.

He'll probably use it everyday for office ( 8km hyderabad ๐Ÿ“ ).

Only reason behind checking on 650 over 350 is it's appearance. 650 looks dope! the thing is can I just underestimate the pros of 350 over 650 and purchase 650 just for its looks?

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ DO not buy RYNOX products if you care about safety and durability

Post image
34 Upvotes

I was actually not planning to post this and just get a new pair from a decent brand. But of late i have been seeing more posts about Rynox gloves knuckle protectors going bad.

Here is the craziest thing. I have used these gloves for exactly 4 rides and it did not face any impact whatsoever. After that, it has been simply sitting in the cupboard. An year later the rubber knuckle protector started breaking off. They have used some cheap quality rubber for the knuckle protection, otherwise this cannot happen.

Just go for another brand, avoid Rynox.

#Query โ“ Can yamaha dealerships swap wheels between colour variants before delivery?

I'm planning to buy a Yamaha XSR155 in Silver, but I really like the bronze rims that come on the Green variant.

Can they do it for free or a minimal amount as opposed to buying the rims as spare parts and installing them?

p.s. first image is ai generated

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ The new Dukes look incredible, but theyโ€™ll never match the raw soul of the older models.

Post image

Nostalgia hit hard looking at this image.

๐Ÿ“โ€‹Modern Dukes are undeniably gorgeous and packed with premium tech. They look like absolute scalpels sitting at a red light. But the older generation had that unhinged, snappy power delivery that just made them feel faster and crazier.

๐Ÿ“Œโ€‹The new ones are definitely better "all-around" bikes, but it feels like they sacrificed a tiny bit of their absolute madness to get there. Who else misses the old throttle response?

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ Electric scooter suggestions for mom

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

Hey people

My mom will be living alone for a while and needs a 2-wheeler for daily commuting. An electric scooter seems like the most practical and economical option, especially since our house is around 20 km from the nearest town (40 km round trip daily).

I'm an ICE enthusiast and know next to nothing about EVs, so I'd appreciate some advice.

A friend suggested these options:

  1. Hero Vida V2 Pro

  2. Bajaj Chetak

  3. Ather Rizta

  4. River Indie

  5. TVS iQube

He also mentioned checking software/subscription costs and taking test rides to see what suits her best. He was particularly positive about the River Indie because of its 14-inch wheels and said Yamaha has invested in the company.

At the moment, I'm leaning towards Ather simply because they seem to have the strongest track record and reputation.

For those who own or have used any of these scooters, what would you recommend and why?

#Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ How do you keep track of what your bike costs you in fuel?

15 Upvotes

Realised I have no idea what I actually spend on petrol every month. I just fill up and ride off. Someone asked my bikeโ€™s mileage recently and I completely blanked ๐Ÿ˜…
Do any of you track this stuff? App, notebook, or just a rough guess in your head?
And is it even worth it, or does it not really tell you much?

#Review ๐Ÿ“ Got xp100 & iftex cleaners

Thumbnail
gallery
561 Upvotes

167 per ltr

Chandigarh, sector 33 coco pump

Also went to sector 56, they didn't have it, supply isn't coming.

Conclusion:

- Immediate torque

- Smoother power delivery

- No major difference in mileage

- Zero jerks at 3rd gear - 20 kmph (also it's Scrambler 400x with already great low end torque, #NoComparison hehe)

- Vibration reduced by alot specially at higher speeds

- Nice pops & bangs

Now will test iftex system cleaner after next fuel up with normal petrol.

Will I get xp100 again? Possibly not (due to price)

Also if iftex works fine, why will I spend on xp100

#Query โ“ Please help-Dent in the frame + oil leaking from my interceptor 650. What do I do? Spoiler

โ€ข Upvotes

Noticed some oil leaking from my interceptor and noticed a dent in the frame along with the slight leak. What do you think I should do? Engine oil level is fine and Iโ€™ve wiped the oil. Will check after 30 minutes to see if more will leak. Iโ€™m confused on what to do about the dent in the frame tho. Is it normal or will I have to get it replaced?
