Most of the Xpulse user have complaint against the head light. You said "LED headlights are much better in foggy ghat roads when compared to halogen lights" was any changes made in your lights?

[@TrailLessTraveller]

No no changes were made to the light.

[@TrailLessTraveller]

Yes the LED headlights were far better in the foggy situations.. this is what I felt, it's completely my view, I felt it better. It gave good visibility.

In this bike can we travel 500 km per day..this is possible or not

[@TrailLessTraveller]

Good question bro. With the stock seat means no unless you have an iron butt 😂 modify to a softer seat then 500 km is possible without any doubts

[@nishankreddythummala9783]

@@isohamkanade thank you bro for your suggestion

[@TrailLessTraveller]

Bro this bike is solely made for touring enthusiast, it perfectly suits for city riding as well as for long rides. I have a fellow rider and have been on the highways on the ghats and xpulse is awesome to ride. For a 200cc vehicle yes it's a good to go option. The only drawback I have seen is riding beyond 100 is quite challenging on the highways as you need to put some efforts battling against the wind. Anything between 80 to 90 is pretty impressive.

[@wonderingartist]

Can you cruise at 90 or 95 comfortably ?

[@TrailLessTraveller]

Yes ofcourse you can. The engine is well refined.

[@adrenalinejunkie9428]

i am Planning to sell my bullet classic 350 2019 to buy xpulse.is it a wise decision for long term? i mostly ride in cities and occasionally long rides please reply

[@TrailLessTraveller]

Go ahead bro. Xpulse is a best choice. It's difference in driving style, classic 350 is normal nowadays, if your a driving enthusiast then xpulse will be a good choice, considering long rides xpulse is less comfortable when compared to Enfield. For city rides it will be awesome. I would suggest take a test ride understand the bike and ur usage then decide.

[@anuranjranjithv2490]

Bro.. Does the rusting is a major issue?? I have just booked a bs6 model..

[@TrailLessTraveller]

Not really . If you regularly do a proper maintenance that will not be an issue. In BS6 I belive those might be been taken care off. Congrats bro on your new motorcycle 👍

Is it comfortable for long rides ?

[@RITESHLAKRA]

Riding for only 30 minutes without pain.?? Seriously?? By the look only it seems not comfortable for long ride on highway..i am planning to buy it but my only concern is comfort.

[@TrailLessTraveller]

Yes, the stock seat is really hard. There are custom seat covers available in the market based on your usage, with high density foam for extra comfort. You can go for the xpulse if you're looking for a bike that will best fit for city as well as tourer, you will definitely enjoy riding it.

[@advaithdk4763]

Should I wait for bs6?

Yes bro wait for it. There will be major improvement from the first release of xpulse, especially in the breaking unit.

[@speedlosser1489]

engine sound is soo bad i have issue

[@TrailLessTraveller]

I learnt that the first batch of Xpulse had issues with the engine, it happens due to the valves and tappets not adjusted properly. Hero replaces it if it’s a manufacturing defect. Visit the service centre and get it checked, before the issue gets alarming.

[@advaithdk4763]

@@TrailLessTraveller I have tappet hitting sound

[@TrailLessTraveller]

@@advaithdk4763 Apologies for the late reply. Yeah there has been reports about the tappet noise. The tappets are used to control the valves, the sound may be because of improper adjustment of the tappets. There are two ways the tappet noise can be heard, when the engine over heats the tappet noise is heard and other is while the vehicle is idling. If the sound is heard when the vehicle is idling or even during cold start then its better to contact the service center and get it fixed.
