Welcome to the cub bro!!

Oops, I am definitely not running the same NGKs for 85 years as mentioned in the post above, it was a typo!!
Supposed to be 8 years. And yes, the plug tips are a nice dry brown tan, they do not show their age and they still work like a charm.

I told you I will make this thread my annual pilgrimage :lol: Maybe I will use this thread / post as my annual pilgrimage :lol: A few things in perspective. It has been about 5 years since my bike rolled out of the dungeon. In these 5 years, the only times I have taken the bike to my mechanic is for ...

Firstly, a huge huge thanks to Ron and Arun for sitting through the night [yes literally through the night] last friday to get this unit working. I owe you guys big time. I feel guilty of putting you guys through a sleepless night. Secondly, Woohooo :lol: When Ron messaged me last friday morning ...

Speedz is still selling his RD? For the past 6 years? At this rate he has a better chances of selling himself than his RD

Good to see your post here Sir
You have a fantastic team and and you guys will go places during the coming races.
Many thanks again for the little gift - I am indeed proud to sport it!

Yo Ethan, we need to meet up man.
Nice to see the benchmark RDD RD in Chennai

Well bro, I am old man now, I am not confident doing those speeds with the stone-age drum brakes on my RD. OMR is a notorious stretch and I have a wife and kid waiting for me at home :P Maybe he was doing 120 and not 130 - it doesnt matter. All I wanted to say is I am not in it for racing on public ...

Maybe I will use this thread / post as my annual pilgrimage :lol: A couple other threads on realiability / performance / happy customer / engine life and all the blah-blah prompted me to make this post. What exactly are people talking about when they say - ooh, my RD has a top speed of 160 kmph; my ...

One of my good friends bought a Bullet 500 recently and is running it in. He takes his bike out in the mornings for shorts spins and yesterday being a sunday and I living on OMR [Chennai boys will know what I am talking about :)] he asked me if I would like to join him on a morning ride down OMR. I ...

This is exactly the position I was talking about. Thanks Jay for explaining it!!

Thanx Ron - I will go with your suggestion of the knob. Well, as you mentioned, will need to figure out how and where to install it. CrazyD, mine is the VXi, so there are switches already on the right side of the steering column - no more slots to install extra switches. On the left side though ...

Alright no worries man. I have figured out what we had discussed over the fone last time.
I will be travelling for the next 2 weeks, so hold back on sending me the stuff.
Will let you know once I am back.

Ron, had sent a few follow-up e-mails with pictures and also a few SMSes - got no response to any of them.
Did you get them? - let me know, will send them across again.

Installed the RDD setup last saturday and lets just say I am in love with the result :D Theres a significant improvement in torque and drivability at low engine speeds and the acceleration has definitely improved. This is precisely what I was looking for and I am very happy with the outcome. A few ...

Dont think we did the bottom end. But if its holding up you dont need to worry. Feed her a little motul (at least 5ml to the ltr and she should be good for a long time to come). You are right, we didnt do the bottom end. But well, it seems to be holding up for now. Will keep a check on it anyways ...

Its been 3.5 years since my RD came out of the dungeon and I owe Ron a report card. So here goes :) Opened up the top end over the past weekend to change the gaskets and the top end bearings. Both barrels perfect - no seizure marks, no discolouration of the barrel walls, ports perfect like they were ...

Excellent Mohith! My experience hasnt been different from yours at all. Mainly city riding and occasional rips on the ECR :D. Those who have ridden on ECR know what it is to rip on a road like that :D Have never had an issue since I picked the bike up from the dungeon. Very similar carb and bike ...

Welcome to RDD man!
