Hello, my fellow bhpians!
Posting a few updates regarding my Ruby:
1. Installed AEW 201’s – Sounds almost stock if you ride it normally, post 3k rpm, the sound is complete Aural Pleasure (still not too loud at all). Kudos to the team at AEW India for making these beautiful-looking and sounding pipes at such a budget-friendly price as well. Those on the fence about installing any aftermarket exhaust or are worried about the sound being too loud should just go ahead and get these installed. These pea shooters look period correct as well.
2. Installed Reise Trace R tyres – Impressed by them so far. Loved the tread design, grips well in the corner as well, not too bad in the wet (being a bias-ply) and super value for money. For my riding style they seem to do well. Improved feedback, especially in the rear. It feels more planted now. (would love to try one with 17’s installed). Also, visually, the Trace R’s look a bit wider than the stock ceat tyres.
Would love to hear feedback on the new Trailhound Scr’s if any of you have installed.
Us interceptor owners have a tough time with tyre choices in the Indian market currently. It seems some are even using Street tyres with Block Pattern tyres in the rear, some with Bias Ply tyres with Radials in the rear (very dangerous combos IMHO), but people seem to swear by it.
3. Replaced rear Master Cylinder and Speedometer sensor cable – If you are losing your rear brake time and again, and your pedal gets depressed all the way down (this happens mostly when you are riding downhill) I advise you to bleed your rear brakes and change your rear master cylinder. Had a couple of scary downhill moments.
4. Jawa Chrome Mirrors – They look great and are made really well. Once again, value for money.
5. Voltmeter – To keep an eye on that plagued RR unit on check.
6. Guardian Gear Jaws mini Magnetic Tank Bag – Bought this especially to keep my camera gear during rides. Very handy and built really well.
Also attaching pictures from my solo ride to Kalimpong and our recent ride to Temi Tea Garden in Sikkim. It was also a test ride for my friends, Xpluse converted to Supermoto.
