80K kms update:
The ODO crossed the 80K mark during a drive to home town and back.
During this drive, I noticed a very mild vibration while crossing the 120 kmph mark and so decided to get the wheel alignment and balancing done. Its around 7K kms since I got it done last.
As usual, I went to Madhus for wheel alignment/balancing. There was a slight change in the alignment reading and this was corrected. Some weights were added to the wheels as well. Along with this, the tyre rotation was done too. The bill came to 2K.
Tyres after 30K kms (Yokohama Earth1). I think I can stretch this for another 15-20K kms:
Front brake pads (This is the second set and 30K kms done now):
I got the emission test done. I got it for 1 year validity this time:

This was at A2B Thoppur:
Fastag with negative balance:
During this drive, the Fastag balance dipped to negative for the first time. I was planning to recharge after reaching Salem but forgot. When I crossed the Krishnagiri toll, the balance was 25/- but it still allowed me to cross (toll at Krishnagiri is 75/-). I realized this while I was waiting at the Attibele toll. I immediately recharged it via Google Pay and received the message instantly. But the display board showed my tag as blacklisted. However when I said that I have enough balance, they let me go. Probably there was a slight delay in their system getting updated with my recharge amount. I didn’t face any issues at NICE toll though.
