36,000 km with my Force Gurkha BS-6: Overall experience so far

I did not do much of maintenance or mods expect for oil change every 10K due to lack of time.

BHPian PhantomLord recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Posting 36K quick pictorial update, Gurkha BS6 has been serving me well for past 2 years. Did not do much of maintenance or mods expect for oil change every 10K due to lack of time, yet to change the air filter.

BS6 had some recall of sorts where some early Gurkha's were missing thread locker on steering knuckle bolt, mostly cause of early steering related accidents ? Mine had thread locker, but one of the bolts had some slack, this could be added to 10K maintenance check list.

Old and new bolt, I changed the bolts just incase and used Loctite 262 and torqued bolts to spec.

Right upper ball joint boot had a tear.

Upper ball joint mount had some rust, cleaned it up.

Time for changing Radar RT+, it lasted 25k approximately.
