Ohh.. The chain case has to be cut off for fitting the M45 rear tyre huh...??

I didnt know that... What do you mean by cutting off little portion of upper chain case and lower chain case..??
Is any such alteration needed to install the front tyre too..??

Hey Manan, about helmets.... I bought a helmet for my new ZMR ( Though i ll be getting the bike only later this week, till then my Xtreme wil commute me.. hehe.. ) and initially i had planned on buying an AGV Blade LX helmet.. Its cost is some 13.5 k or something over here...
But i finally decided on some other model of Agv costing around 4k..And im perfectly happy with it..
I think any helmets priced betweek 2-5k would be a good and reasonable buy... Though i had initial strong thoughts, now i think spending 12-24k and all on helmets is plain outrageous unless you are that crazy about it and u want such ultra high carbon fibre protection and all..!! On the shop i went to, which is one of the main helmet dealers over here, i found AGV and CROSS helmets to be good..!!

There is no need to any modification to fit M45 4.00-18. Alteration is needed only for Sirac 120.

**acg_2308** · 02-02-2010, 04:12 AM

Can anyone post the photos of stock (mrf) and m45 tyres which tells us the grip textures and feel of both tyres

my bike will take 2 months more to come so i wants to compare them visually by photos

Ya cross helmets are indeed good and true value for money..range starts from 2k onwards..i`ve a cross helmet which i had bought for 3500 bucks and its been 2 yrs and its still in good shape..the padding is still intact and so is the paint despite of the helmet falling several times from my hand..the paint doesnt chip off that easily.

Why dont you check out performanceracingstore at Tardeo...just nearby your place and you will get a much better variety of helmets.

Ravi anna: since the ZMR comes with the rear disc it takes up quite some portion of space in the swingarm and thats why when the M45 is fitted it touches the chaincase. When we fitted it on Mohsins bike we thought it wont touch the case but eventually it did and had to chop off a little portion of it which was touching the tyre..

Cut off as in a little chop its nothing much. No alteration reqd for the front as the ZMRs front tyre spec is now 3x18, so the M45 fits in easily. Also, it just changes the way the bike does its speeds, it awesome!

Here you go. The white ZMR is Mohsin's, fitted with the M45. And the other ZMRs have the stock MRF.

Last two images is of my bike

**neo88** · 02-02-2010, 03:39 PM

Yeah, saw the stock tyre on ZMR which was MRF Zapper 100 / 90 - 18 and of-course it is tubeless. I saw the same stock tyre with same specifications also available for ZMA-R and CBZ. Are those too tubeless or the same tyre can also be used with tube. Can any body throw some light on this ?

**adabass** · 02-02-2010, 04:20 PM

What are the owners experience and honest feelings about the bike's overall looks, plastics, stickering. As you are riding the bikes for a long period of time, do you think its easy to maintain the showroom look as compared to other bikes?

1st service done.....now bike is smooth

but they have charged me more i guess
as they 1st told tht oil change is 180
when i gave my zmr for service they told 220Rs

when i took delivery they finally asked 230Rs

what is the oil cost exactly for zmr ?

1lts oil cost 175/-. ZMR hold more than 1lts oil. I think around 1.25 ltr...so its 175 + 45 = 220/-

No Ravi, for 4.00 chain case needs to be modified on ZMR. There is very little gap with stock tire.
