5000 kilometers

Yesterday I completed first 5k on my Royal Enfield Bullet on the way to work. This happend after nearly ten months. The journey so far includes miles of pleasurable ride- mostly done between home to work daily, and couple of out-station solo rides (Narayangaon and Kashid)- accompanied by loads of road presence and envious glances on the way.

Other than usual maintenance and tappet adjustments I had to tighten the cam-gears during initial run-in and replace the oil seals on primary drive case to plug the oil leakage. No other major problems (touch wood) so far, just a couple of cable replacements (clutch at ~4000 kms and speedo at ~3000 kms due to monsoon) .

Cheers!
