Yes, I got a 100/80 as well. Another question from my end. The bite in the front brakes of the new HH Hunk are nowhere as close to the bite available in the rear disks. I'm assuming it's because the Rear Disk Calipers are made by Nissin while the front don't seem to be of the same company.
I was wondering, is it possible to switch the front brake assembly with a similar assembly from Nissin or Bybre or anything else with a bit more bite?
From what I observed, the FZ series seem to have the right apparatus for the purpose. Is this feasible?

bite what is it?

I guess 110/80 would be direct fit, If I remember correct someone had mentioned about the same in this thread.

i also thought the same...

now i m goin for MRF zapper y...

I am afraid I don't understand.

Well, I'm referring to the sharpness of the brakes. FZ and R15 have brakes which respond fairly sharply. The Hunk's brakes on the other hand, seem to be more 'soft'.

which brand brakes do the hunk use?
btw try changing the brake pads, if its all same then use fz's brake pads. costs 150bucks

ooh i got it,
as we get used to our disk brakes, if we apply same force on a pulsar of fz, it get locked ?

btw r15 v2 have nissin disk brakes

as nissin logo is not present in front brake, it might be some local brand

My stock Hunk 2012 came with a 110/80 MRF Zapper (tubeless). The grip is not much in the stock rear.

No swingarm changes, he just removed the lower half of the chain case. And agreed, the wet grip available in the Zapper isn't confidence inspiring. Bike tends to fishtail sometimes.

And the mileage, well, mine varies between 40 and 45 with occasional bursts to 70 odd. Highly dependent on quality of fuel and throttle action. In my case, a circumstantial mixture of Shell Unleaded Petrol and Indian Oil gave me 46kmpl and 44kmpl once.

Update: Dazzler chain guard not available with the Stockist near JC Road, Bangalore. Expects to receive stock next week. So will try next week.

Mine is 2008 Hunk, it comes with tuff-up at rear and not tubeless. The current 120/80 is MRF zapper, please see the pic below.
If I remember correct, as per manual the stock tyre for my bike was 100/90 and not 100/80.

As Ashwin said I removed the lower half of chain cover, but it was slightly touching the upper chain cover still, but after say 1000 kms, tyre got rubbed off, now its rotating freely

@ Ashwin, waiting for your Hunk mod with Dazzler chain cover!

I don't know the brand used in the front brake assembly. But I do doubt the FZ's will fit considering the FZ using a 267mm disk while the Hunk has a 240mm disk. Just my guess, not sure.

Exactly! The R15, FZ Series and Pulsar front discs are extremely sharp. They need a bit of practice to use effectively and not cause a lockup. But once you get used to it, nothing like it.

I'm waiting for it too. But knowing Honda's spares availability, I'm assuming it'll take a bit longer than a week.

Yes, FZ uses a large disk, which means the front fork outer tube which holds the calipers also need to be changed, the front forks of FZ won't fit into Hunk as it has thick forks. Also need to check on feasibility of fitting that disc to Hunk alloys !

Well, I dont think so. I think FZ rotor can be fitted on ours. If I m right, all u have to do is drill some holes on the rotor (as per the mounting points on our alloy) and it should fit.
Regarding calipers, one should have to design and custom make a piece of plate (in a lathe) that extends the caliper mount points from the forks. Just look at an RTR/Zma caliper to understand what I m saying.
I was actually thinking over this same thing all this morning, and I think it is actually possible.

Changing forks is out of the question. I love the suspension on the bike and wouldn't change it for the world.

Oh no, changing the rotor is not really an option. Requires way too much effort.

And regarding the calipers, yes, I actually have noticed the extension of sorts. Don't know how much it's feasible though.

Err..dint quite get you. Whats the way too much effort involved here..?
(Dont take it otherwise, I m asking because I really don't know.

Haha chill.

Forget the effort part of it. My issue is basically drilling holes and stuff. You see, I believe in direct fits.(Yes, I am strange.

) I don't like making too many mods to make one mod work. More of a plug and play kind of person.

U kinda spoiled my spirit with your first post.

Once I get enough free time, I might actually take this up. Lets see then.

Oh by all means, please! Would love to see it taking form.

Issue being, the rotor itself is quite expensive at around 2k IIRC.

Don't know for sure, but that is the rough idea I have.

**BloggingWheels** · 05-06-2012, 09:06 PM

Sorry Guys!! I wrongly profiled my rear tyre. As all of you have pointed out, it is 100/90. Thanks guys! Btw what do these numbers represent? Thickness? Wheel Dia? Any insights pl?

@SatSon, the rear tyre looks sexy dude!! How about the performance? Wet/Dry Conditions?
