The bike happily chugs along. Nothing much to report as it is used only for chores in the city and neighborhood.

Royal Enfield Electra after 1,30,700km
I got the HSRP plates done few months ago. Reverted back to the stock exhaust system for a while for a change. The headlamp doesn’t work at all now, just the park light and brake light with a very low lit turn signal. It sure needs an electrical overhaul for all the lights to work and be bright. The battery I am using is a weak one since the engine doesn’t need a healthy battery to fire up. This worked well since the bike is not used in the dark and the horn worked as long as the engine was running. Chain slack is still an issue, however it is only annoying when I do a ride at a constant speed of around 60-70 kmph. In city, it is fine especially with pillion as the slack gets adjusted with the weight.
Something that makes me proud about this bike is that it doesn’t leak oil keeping in mind it has run quite a bit. It is just the oil sweat on the fins from the head gasket, which is not alarming. Fuel efficiency is a constant 25 kmpl. An oil service is due this year along with brake overhaul. Odo stands at 1,30,700 kms.
