My Yamaha R1 WGP hits 61,000km: Ride home to Kerala & other updates

My Yamaha R1 WGP hits 61,000km: Ride home to Kerala & other updates BHPian krishnaprasadgg recently shared this with other enthusiasts: The R1 hits 61k After about 2 years or so, I finally took the R1 for my trip back home in Kerala. The Bangalore-Kerala shuttle had fully moved to 4-wheelers over the last couple of years. Breakfast stop that’s been a constant for well over a decade Rest stop at Palakkad It was a refreshing change for sure. Reminded me of how much I missed my bike rides home. I did not take too many, or rather any pics at all, as it’s a route I have done so many times that I just can’t be bothered to stop for photos; I would rather just enjoy the ride. Was just going through the meter to reset the Odo tripmeter (I had reset every parameter just before the trip) and chanced upon this. Not bad if I say so myself. I recollected over the fuel stops, and the indicated FE is pretty close. Gave the Bike a good wash session at home. Always love to do this. Some well-deserved TLC During the cleanup noticed that the expansion tank was running a bit low on coolant. Luckily, I had a bottle of engine ice(a bit old though) with me, so I promptly topped it up to the right level. On the way back, the R1 hits 61,000 KM. That’s about it for this post. The complete up and down trip was a smidge under 1100 KM Customary ODO meter parting shot. Cheers Krishna Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.
