    Hey Buddy, thanks for the tip. I asked them and they said zapper q doesn't come in with tube tyre now. Still wondering what to do.

    If your bike came with tube type tires, go with same.
    I think Zapper Q is available in tube version as well (I used the tube version in my first gen Hunk)

      I think, running a tubeless tire with tube inside is fine though it is not safe the other way.
      RE Continental GT comes with Tubeless tires fitted with tubes inside from factory.
      You can throw this question in the tires section, you'll get more responses.

        The Zapper C is the best bet. But unless it is available in TL, I think Dunlops are the way to go,

              Even in 120 section, it is available as TL only in 17 inch size. None of the 18 inch variants are TL.

                  Yes, Just noticed in the TV ad that one of the patterns shown resembles Zapper Q.

                    Folks,

                    Can anyone suggest a direct fit handle bar for Xtreme 2007 model which gives slightly straight sitting posture.

                    I think handle bar from Unicorn or Shine would be a direct fit.

                    Any suggestions !!

                        A constant 100 is ok for short 100 kms though
                        Sorry if I have confused you guys.

                        It is 100 KM per day and not 100 KMPH

                        Would the mileage come around 50-55 if I travel between 45 - 60 KMPH ?

                          Why not give the ZMA handle bar a try? Its way too upright if you ask me.

                            No problem at all, that is the best moving speed for saving fuel.

                              Bike service is due this Friday. 33200km done.

                              A few things,

                              1) The handlebar moves back and forth when I try moving it when the bike is stationary. Fellow members mentioned some rubber part that needs to be changed.

                              2) When I play the front suspension, it doesn't feel smooth. I hear some creaking noise.

                              3) I think the Coneset needs to be changed finally.

                              4) There is a lot of tappet noise. It is usually not audible under the helmet, but once I remove the helmet, the bike sounds very bad after a spirited ride. Tappets are set at 0.06 and 0.08/0.10. Either this is tappet noise or the cam chain gone kaput.

                              5) Bike feels rough in general and bike feels noisy.

                              6) Chainset might need changing. I have a Dazzler O Ring Chain at home. I want to use it with the new Xtreme rear sprocket and the Unicorn 15T front sprocket. Will the new chain fit over this configuration of sprockets?

                              7) FE has been good 48kmpl-49kmpl in city condition.

                              8) Bike turns off on slight throttle.

                              9) Regarding the timing. The cam sprocket doesn't align perfectly parallel to the head when I adjusted tappets. It seemed to be the slightest bit off the mark. Is this a cause for concern?

                              10) It's been close to 4 years since I bought the bike. Is it about time I changed the rubber?

                              I'd like every issue to be fixed. I'd really appreciate some detailed answers.

                              Also, anything else that needs to be checked up at 33200km? Daily commute is ~35km in peak hour traffic.

                              Thanks guys.
