Not A Big Problem, It's Just A Lousy Service!

The workshop guy forgot to put back the oil ring seal causes the oil spitting out from the edge of the cover. It makes me worry thinking the worker might have overtighten the screws making the thread loose.

Yamaha PG1 Stock Tyre After 7K Kilometers

Dual-purpose motorcycle tires are designed to provide a balance between on-road and off-road performance, making them ideal for adventure and dual-sport riders. These tires feature a tread pattern that offers sufficient grip on paved roads while also providing traction on dirt, gravel, and other off-road surfaces. Typically, they have a mix of rubber compounds to ensure durability and adaptability across different terrains. The ratio of on-road to off-road capability varies by model, with some tires favouring highway stability and longevity, while others prioritize off-road grip and flexibility. Choosing the right dual-purpose tire depends on the rider’s needs, terrain preferences, and riding style.

7K awesome riding with my yamaha PG1! I gotta say that I'm loving every centimeters of it! 
PG1 comes with IRC brand tyres from Indonesia & this is how it looks like after 7K kilometers, had a puncture once but they are still okay for me.
