    Hello bikers,

    Company fitted Tyres-Front MRF NYLOGRIP ZAPPER FS, 2.75-18, 42P

    My bike runs daily 20km at highway(sticking at7000rpm 8 minutes) and city drive 10km.

    Topic Approved.

    Yes its possible if your bike has alloy wheels...


    1. Get tyre and tube removed at a tyre service center/ mechanic,

    2. Fit 2 tubeless tyre valves into the valve holes of both alloy wheels, it looks somewhat like this:-



    Fit them from inside and hammer them while heating it up. The rubber should be air tight fit on the valve.

    3. Fit TUBELESS tyres on to the alloy wheel. Fill air. Done!


    I got all this done on my Pulsar 180 UG3 and it was a success move.

      Thanks Samarth!! For advise on tyre replacement with details.its very informative.

      .
      What about the engine oil?
      I was taking review of 10w50. (Castrol power1(not racing formula))
      Can I use it on xtreme? Currently using 10w40(elf).
      Will 10w50 provide better performance than current one?
