awesome and practical modification.... i am looking for small and silent exhaust. market is full of loud exhaust which can be fun occasionally but in long tour/city ride it becomes headache for rider and other people as well. please make a cb350's short video again if possible they have recalled for some gear issue.
Thanks! Agree on the exhaust bit. And I was told by one of our viewers that the KTM390 Adv exhaust fits the Xpulse well. I’ll explore that and share more information when possible. There has been a recall on the CB and if I was a CB owner, this will not bother me at all. I’ll get the repairs done, even if it means opening the engine, and get on with my travels and fun. Engines are not human bodies where a surgery like operating on the heart has long lasting negative effects. In fact this gearbox upgrade / change will likely make the engine better! 😊 Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thank you for reply sir. please share your experience if you do any exhaust modification. and once again thanks for sharing details regarding cb350. my friend wanted to buy it this month but he hold it for month or two due to recall. usually we ride once in a month. and 70% of it are either on hills, forest or off-road. thanks for proper/genuine reviews. in this deep digital forest it's very hard to find it.
1. have you slightly modified the edges of side stand to install the shoe?? 2. any chance of changing the stock light... i am totally not satisfied with its illumination 3. i am 5'8" still feel if i could reduce the sitting height slightly will help me more to have a good control on this beast.... by reducing the rear suspension by 2 points will it help??
Hi! No mods, the shoe fit onto the stand foot directly. And, the stock light seems ok for my kind of use but you can consider changing it or better still, add a pair of Mad Dog aux lights. Two click reduction on the rear shock reduces the pre-load, and instead you can consider reducing the seat foam height. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thanks.... i am not motorcycling expert, I purchased Xpulse over Bullet so that i could reach my trekking destinations, certain basic modes been done.... will try to shot and upload
I am also looking at Barkbusters installation on my Hero XPulse 200 BSVI. You mentioned these barkbusters are for your Himalayan. Since I'm unable to get Barkbusters for my XPulse 200 BSVI, I'm considering what you did. Is it a straightforward fit or are there some modifications needed on either the handlebar or the Barkbusters? Thanks in Advance.
Hi! I have changed the handlebar on the Xpulse to a wider and taller bar. And I think that the Himalayan barkbusters should be able to be fit on the stock bar.
@@bigbearbangalore thanks Sir. I was watching the videos and noticed you are probably in BLR. If so, once lockdown is relaxed I'd love to meet up with you for coffee and maybe a short ride. I'm from BLR too! Thanks for your time and awesome videos they're very informative
@@bigbearbangalore good day to you Sir! I was wondering if we can link up sometime soon to exchange notes about the Xpulse? Edit: Barkbusters installed. A few more KM clocked since we last interacted here.
Hi! There is a video on the comparison that I have posted. th-cam.com/video/WGp1ycXLq18/w-d-xo.html Please take time to view it cos it can help in your decision making. Cheers!
Sir am also planning to buy xpulse 200 but stuck with apache 160 with the same price. As they say apache 160 have milage of 50 kmpl what is the practical mileage of xpulse.

Plus the unsprung mass is less and hence the motorcycle rides over bumps and rocks far better than with steel rims. Also these rims are stronger and don't get knocked out of true so easily.
Hi! Sorry, there is a little bit of GSM signal interference in the recording randomly just for a few seconds and apart from that audio quality is clear and I have verified the same. Thanks for the feedback!
i'd be damned if the excel weight is only 1/4th of a steel rim. but it's not true. the excel, metal for metal has more aluminum than a mild steel rim has mild steel. the rim weight differences are only a few grams vs steel rims. what you gain is rigidity and strength
@@bigbearbangalore before saying you're saving xxx kilos , you should put the stock rim and the Excel on a scale and add value to your claims to substantiate. Unfortunately they not just my views because I have put them on a scale. it's a fact.
Strange, HDT customs weiggh excel rim 21" front for himalayan showed 2kg reduction in weight compared to steel wheel. Whereas rear excel wheel with double width had same weight as of stock size of himalayan
That's an interesting bike you have with, more I see of this bike the more tempted I get
It’s is an interesting bike. And the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. 😉
Deeply informative, subbed!
Thanks! Cheers!
Amazing mods. Brilliant channel! subbed! :D
Thank you! Cheers!
Liked how you recycled/reused all existing accessories you had and modified your bike. Looks great :-)
Thank you!
No nonsense, point to point.
Thank you!
Super Boss❤️.......

KTM adv 390 exhaust can be fit on to it, check HDT Customs.
Ok thanks!

@@KaizerBillimoria Sure, will ping soon. Cheers!
Sir, can the xpulse comfortably cruise at a speed between 90 - 100??
Hi! It can run at those speeds though it won't be comfortably cruising. 90 kmph is ok and beyond is pushing it. Cheers!
@@bigbearbangalore thank you very much sir..

Thanks man !
Could you please mention the price of your Excel rims ?
Each rims cost about 15,000/- and I got them a few years back. They were on my Himalayan and I moved them to the Xpulse before I sold the Himalayan.
@@bigbearbangalore Thanks for your reply ! :)
I suggest fog lights a necessity
Yes fog lights are useful. Since at the moment I have no plans to tour and especially no plans to tour at night, I do not plan to go for them. Cheers!
Hey, where did you the excel rims ?
Hi! Got them from Big Bear Bangalore. Regards.

@@bigbearbangalore can it give more milage if we ride it average 50-60 kmph?
@@akashmazumdar9917 bs6 Xpulse gives milage of 40-45 if ridden sensibly
Bought 3 days back!
Congrats! Best wishes.
@@bigbearbangalore Thanks... For Office commute.... will keep the motorcycle stock as of now!
Which handlebar you have installed Sir?
It’s an aluminium handlebar. Brand name TAG.
What size are there on the barkbusters?
7/8
You can get best top speed...becoz modified rim....?
Not really. It helps mainly with handling and easy change of direction.
