In case of pillion, then 26psi in front & 32psi in rear.

Hey am sorry for typo in previous post it was around 39-40k kms when i did D-carb any ways i cant say anything about your bike unless i get chance to ride it . But i will suggest you to Replace Block-Piston kit and avoid this D-carb hassle .

the Complete BlockPiston kit + Valve + timing chain + labor cost's around 4700INR . I didnt suggest D-carb because of its costs i think D-carb is SVC will cost you some 1000RS and then there is always NO guarantee that bike will perform better so IMO it is better to replace the entire kit rather than wasting money on these (Dcarbing) jobs .

Post Apache 160 HE tubeless tyre change

Hi,
Recently changed front,rear tyres to tubeless with front - mrf zapper FS stock size. rear - Pirelli 110/80. B'cos my rim it wont support tubeless valve, mechanic did a makeshift valve that come with Tubed ones and it was fine with no leakage. I went for a trip to pondicherry on the same day and in that 100 Kms was a very bad patch with too many pot holes with many hurt me and the bike. I was feeling wobbling and got pressure checked in pondicherry, it was 15 psi in the front.. what could be reason ? Also i want to know whether this makeshift valve is a permanent solution for tubeless tyres ?

Thanks,
Vinoth
