2009 Ladakh Preparations: Motorcycle
Last couple of days have involved plenty of running around as I try to get the bike serviced and prepared for my upcoming trip to Ladakh.
Today and yesterday I got majority of the stuff done on my motorcycle, here is a breakdown of things which have been done/replaced on my motorcycle:
- Clutch and Pressure Plates: changed
- Clutch hub: changed
- Clutch wheel: changed
- Drive Chain and Sprockets: changed
- Timing Chain: changed
- Con Set: changed
- Spark Plug: changed
- Air filter: changed
- Engine oil: changed
- Speedometer cable: changed
- Clutch cable: changed
- Accelerator cable: changed
- Choke cable: changed
- Disc Brake master guide: changed
- Disc Brake oil: changed
- Disc brake pads: changed
- Brake shoes: changed
- Tappets: adjusted
- Front rim: spokes changed and wheel alignment done
- Rear rim: wheel alignment done
Also bought a few spares for my bike as parts for Bajaj Pulsar 180 classic are now a bit hard to find, since it has been out of production for almost 6 years now (DTSi was launched in October 2006).
Total damage: Rs. 4300
Odometer reading: 67296
Bike now feels overeager to begin the trip, but before that happens. I will have to get engine oil (spare), 90w gear oil for chain lubrication, tank pad, headlight bulb, battery and a few other things tomorrow.
