        Have u done any other mod. in ur bike..
        I consider the angle/projector light...went to the shop here in Delhi near AIIMS...it is costly to have an projector...mean while i postponed the idea because of warranty too...

        I am little worried about the battery consumption after changing pilot bulbs to LEDs and also i changed a headlight bulb to normal Philips 55W...LED too have a 10 bulbs in each.

        Apart from that ; i have install NKG iridium spark plug...pickup is good after setup...although i am feeling little harsh in smoothness...will change it to normal plug..then review it...

            Thanks buddy, some one was saying 120... :S

            What is the cost of the same, did you require chain cutting. Metro tyres gave me a quote of 4800 for M45 front and rear stock size.

              m45 is a direct fit on the zmr - no chain cutting required. it is a tube tyre and is not tubeless.coast should be 2300rs for the rear and about 1500 for front

                The one I am talking about is Rs. 2800 for the rear and 2000 for the front. They are tubeless.

                      dude go for either f1 polish that should be applied when bike is under cool condition not under direct sunlight and if using waxpol then apply it in fully sunny condition. both are equally good!!

                        Formula 1 is better...as for the Teflon coating from showroom...check the polish they are using before giving to them......it may be 3M or some other...
