This video was all about the changes you made to the motorcycle. Could you make another video, covering your riding experience in various conditions (city, highways, hilly roads, etc), problems you've had with rains, rusting, availability of parts, etc? Thank you, this one was very nicely done.

How is the quality of service offered by service team, or did you get it from external agents ?
@bikerbakertravels

Warranty is approved most of the time.. service has to be at ASC during warranty period. Parts are easily available unless they are not the usual running ones. Quality of service is ok if you know what you want and how to get that done, or else it's just like any other service. I have been servicing my bike my self post 3 Rd service at the ASC. Rarely I do go out to my trusted workshops.

I have a Versys 650 from 2018, I am wondering how accurate is your fuel gauge? because it can happen to me that it shows me the reserve and when I fill in the fuel, it can only fit maybe 10 liters inside, and the indicator will not be completely filled, do you have any advice? or is it simply a problem in the fuel indicator? thank you
@bikerbakertravels
11 ай бұрын
My fuel gauge was very accurate. Last bar blinking would mean 4 ltrs left in tank. Each bar was representing 3 ltrs. Now unfortunately my gauge has gone bad and it doesn't show anything. Though I know the mileage. I calculate full tank to distance range and fuel up at 350 kms. I generally get 26-27 on Highway.

In the Himalayan bike, low-end torque is very good, even in fourth gear during heavy traffic conditions. Can you please tell me about this bike's exact low-end torque in heavy traffic conditions?
@bikerbakertravels
8 ай бұрын
Low end torque is very good but being a powerful engine your second gear will do most of the job by Itself. From 5 kmph to 70kmph you won't have to shift gears. Besides you are trying to compare apples to oranges. so it would be only fair to compare similar bikes like cb500x or tiger 660 etc.
