re: CBZ xtreme / Hunk

tushar: bro, I would request you to read my posts or for that matter any post thoroughly. The first line of the previous post that you've quoted mentions the initials - "TL". ~ Tubeless. Yes, Tubless is stamped on the tyre wall. Dunlop Geo Cruiser TT cannot be used as TL. AFAIK no Indian manufacturer makes such tyres. One tyre that was fitted on a ZMR of a good friend (also on xbhp) whom I know personally - and was present when the tyre was fitted on his front wheel - is Michelin. Was an import actually. I don't remember the model name. But for sure, you do not get it in India anymore. It is a discontinued model.

And as for reviews, no one can give reviews for a tyre by running on it just for a few days. It is just initial impression experience that can be shared - practical? Still, because fitting took a lot of effort, I will test it extensively before the leh ride to ensure that there are no leakages/anything for this.

Got the Dunlop Geo Cruiser today. TL. Took a lot of effort to inflate the rubber. Actually, bead was not binding with the rim. So a tube was inserted and inflated. Kept it that way for sometime and then the tyre mounted again. Hopefully, it will work now. Grip is way better than the Zapper Y. Now extensive testing will be done in the next 2-3 days. If it runs fine, then this tyre goes to leh. Otherwise, I will get the tube type Vertigo/Gripp as a rear tyre with a spare tube.Also got my name and blood group stickered on two side panels in reflective radium type. Feels like a rally ride now :P

Dunlop geo cruiser is one of the best tyres. Fitting a tubeless tyre requires skill. While fitting it the side beads should be made wet with surf water and then mounted on rim. This makes the bead to slip past rim easily. Then what you do is inflate it with high pressure that is the compressor should be having minimum of 100 psi so that inflates the tyre instantly. The bead will seat with a pop sound. Then inflate it to 50-60 psi and after a couple of minutes deflate to correct tyre pressure. The problem with Geo cruiser is that its side wall are quite strong( in fact strong than any tyres) and thus requires bit of effort in making it fit on rim.Be assured that it will perform exceedingly well. The handling will improve a lot and the first model CBZ had it as OE tyres. Makes the rear portion look good.

I had bought CEAT ZOOM TT for Rs. 2450 including fitting charges and tube cost.
Since you were searching for tires for a while, I guess you would've asked price of this one too. Can you let me know what was the price quoted for CEAT Zoom (100/90)?
Just curious to know if I was charged more.

Dear all
going for my first service tomorrow.....going to clean oil filter & centrifugal filter.
since this operation needs clutch cover to be open.....so i want to know how much engine oil i need to pour after cleaning the job. Is it 1 liter or more than that?

Are you going to do this yourself ? I doubt the ASC will clean oil filter and centrifugal filter in the first service.

re: CBZ xtreme / Hunk

Hai.. this is my post after a year or so I guess. Been away from here due to studies and job.
Bike has now clocked 26K and its time for a new set of tyres. For the rear, I am thinking of Dunlop GeoCruiser (if I can find one) or I will go for MRF.

But I have no idea what to choose for the front. Give your inputs guys. I ride 99.9% on tarmac. So looking for a tyre with good wet and dry tarmac grip.
Looking forward to your suggestions..

If its tarmac then go for mrf Zapper fs, or better than that is Zapper fv if you can find one

SInce Hero has officially entered in Bangladesh few months ago....they do not have all the parts and accessories right now.
Anyway SVC agreed to do the above tasks but due to unavailability of gasket they didnt do anything. They will do it in 2nd service

Anyway first service done......SVC poured Hero oil (MAK made).......now the engine feels super harsh......even after riding for 2-3 kms engine is overheating & the roller bearing making too much noise....
shall i drain the oil or shall i wait............

Wait for 100km and see, if its still harsh then use motul 3000 4t plus 10w30 oil.

We do not have the luxury of having so many kinds of engine oils

In 10w30 grade, only Castrol power 1, caltex havoline and Hero (mak) engine oil available.

re: CBZ xtreme / Hunk

Hi friends..
My cbz xtreme now clocked 26,500kms..
Problems facing: mileage is now 33kmpl.
chain became loose (normal)
Tomorrow i am going to clean head and carb.. i talked to a X HH workshop (not authorised now).
They said it will cost about 1000 if there is no problem in valve. if there is problem in the valve and 1500+ if there is problem in valve.... i think its not too high.
is there any oil filter in our bike? how much kms to change it.... is it easy to change it at the time of head cleaning.
