No idea. Experts like Joel should be able to shed more info.... But AFAIK the ceramic at the centre is usually a light chocolate brown in color!
As for the front tire, u could either go with the 90/90-17 provided with the P200/220 or the R15's tires. The 200/220 tires are available with almost all tire dealers. The R15's tires only at Yam showrooms if u want it legally(at exorbitant prices). Else u cud raid GP road(remember Madcatz's Pulsar with R15 tires during our meetup?) and get them for real cheap rates.

Front Tyre
All those recommending the R15 front tyre as a replacement for the rtr please consider that the R15 tyre is an 80/90-17 size which is 10mm narrower than the 90/90 stock rtr front.

@sai - Ur plug is pretty good. but a bit on lean side since its all stock jetting.
The reason why one side of the plug is dark is coz, only one side is exposed to the flame and the other side is turned away. The lighter side is the one u need to look at. This part plug color can only happen on this twin electrode apache plug. Single electrode plugs will have a unicorn color across. Joel |
