Bike Preparation

We strongly recommend you inspect your motorcycle thoroughly. If you have made any changes recently, ride the bike for a short weekend trip before the tour onset. Head to the nearest Bajaj service centre in case of any concerns.

  • Inspect your suspension before the trip for any signs of leakage or wear out.
  • Check the rear swing-arm bush for wear and tear and replace if necessary.
  • Check your chain and rear sprocket for wear out – if it’s at the end of its life it’s better to change before the ride than after.
  • Make sure that your clutch is in order and adjusted properly without trace of any drag, slip, etc.
  • Check your battery and earthing connections. The demanding terrain and the riding conditions that you and the machine are likely to encounter on the route could further accentuate existing problems.
  • Check all cables for smooth operation if found rough and frayed, replace them.
  • Make a note of your motorcycles fuel consumption – this will help in planning fuel stops.
  • Tyres – make sure your tyres are in good condition. If they are worse for wear it’s better to change before the trip.
Madhya Pradesh Special
  • This ride involves a good mix of highway miles and broken tarmac, translating to long hours in the saddle at various speeds, so a small discomfort can be amplified over time. For the bikes that have had any work done on the aspects that affect handling and stability, e.g., accidental repairs, etc., please take a trial run. Check for wheels running straight, chain tension, handlebar straightness, etc.
  • Stock tyres with good thread life will work, however, if you are keen you could try out various dual sport tyres.
  • Phone mount and USB charger is advisable as it will aid in navigation and phone charging on the move.
