 something must have changed mono shocks behavior.... Recently got a puncture for the back tyre... I rode the bike in the same condition for 3 days (filling air whenever I feel its crying to move) ? Any chance that this could be reason ? or do I need to check the rear tyre pressure ?

Get your tires repaired asap. Tubeless doesn't means that its maintenance free!

Iv ridden with a punctured tyre with 7 psi for like 200kms.
That has no effect on the mono shock. Go to the SC and get the MONO checked. may be some washer or so must have fallen off.ASk them to get it off and the re-fit it. Santa ________ Web Shows Last edited by santoosh; 08-25-2011 at 06:26 AM. |

 You know,I don't mean to fire anyone in this forum,but I found that a lot of R15 owners here are really againts changing the tyre of the R15.Most will say "Don't change the tyre,you acceleration,top speed,handeling..etc,etc will go down". But to me,I think it really comes down to the owner of the bike themselves to outweigh the looks-to-power ratio.Maybe,some owner don't mind the skinny tyre at the back as long as they get a good performance.But for some,sacrificing a bit of performance for better back end look of the bike is worthwhile. And if I may stretch my neck a little,changing the tyres don't really bog down the performance that much. I'm also not silly,changing the tyres without proper research.I will agree that people who change the rear end tyre for some low quality,140 tyres from Kings is silly,or people who change the tyre to tube tyre,when the stock tyre from MRF is much2 better. But I changed my rear tyre to the same tubeless 130 IRC tyre used on the Kawasaki Ninja 250.People from bangalore get get it from JC road by the way. Besides,the wider tyre proves to have better grip on sandy and uneven roads.My bike almost slid while turing on a sandy road.And god knows how many sandy roads there is in India. So really,when you think about it,both has it's pros and cons.If u decide to stay with the stock tyre,then you will get excelent acceleration,top speed,but at a price of an ugly rear end and danger during sandy roads. But if u change the tyre,u will get a slightly lower acceleration (frankly,I don't fell the difference),a slightly lower top speed,but u will have a perfect looking bike which is pretty all around and safer to ride on our(or at least my) type (sandy) of road. And also,a lot of guys who bought their bike from Bangalore Wheels change their bike tyre to IRC,and they seem to have no problem.Well,at least for the time being Just my two cents  p/s:I will upload the picture of my bike rear end as soon as possible

Ur happy right , then whats the pblm ?
U dint have to give the explanation.. Why ppl say is for a reason. Not cos they against it.Its ur bike after all. Why dint u want to fit in a comet's rear tyre ? Looks even better and even more better grip right.. Im going by ur bigger the better concept :-D Santa ________ Brownfoxxy Last edited by santoosh; 08-25-2011 at 06:26 AM. |

I didn't fit the comet rear tyre because no one I known have done it before.So I don't want to be the first one
Also,I did not say bigger is better,it depends on ones perspective And about my bumpy thing,I just wanted to ask if anyone who changed to wider tyre are having the same slightly bumpy feeling. Peace.
