In first gear whack the throttel.Great pic. Are leg bars compulsory over there? They tried to make it so over here but luckily everyone said no.
Hi. Leg guards are not compulsary here. If you look at the right most bike ( its that of a Hero Honda Karizma ) it does not have a leg guard. However, most of the manufactureres provide the bikes with leg guards.
Thought that the guy with no leg guards may have been the lawbreaker of the bunch!
Do you get spares easily for the RD?
Wheelie, spares are not easy to get by. If you want a good RD, either it has to have stock parts , or you need to import the parts. I have a few friends at rddreams.com .. and the moderator of the site, Ron, is a person who owns his own garage and the RD is his favourite. Mostly, you will get good RDs ( if you want to buy them ) in the southern part of india ( bangalore, trivandrum ).
the parts r scarce,but avaliable.i had an RD and an enfield 500 before this one.so i have some parts.and delhi has some big shops which still house rd’s parts.most diff.is to source the barrels,original points,rectifier,rear shocks and coils.but we manage LOL,ron at rddreams has sold his digital cdi to many ppl of UK,US.,Norway and other countries and is praised a lot by them,so his stuff is good.he also makes custom sleeves and port setups for the RD.
I’m about to get a paint job,crank re setting and engine blue printing done.hope to do the engine myself and will send the crank to ron.
