No difference in running though. I am going to be taken to the Yamaha trained engineer to confirm this&get a warranty replacement soon.
    Hope they dont give you much trouble and change the part ASAP.

    Why are you thinking of the Unicorn? I would rather suggest the GS- for your highway crusing it has an additional 6th cog.
    Holy cow so the hard gears are a cbx thingy.If i rev it to 5500 and above the gear is not hard.I wonder why.Unicorn is my fathers choice not mine i had a uni(spokes version) it was used/trashed by my dad for
    16000kms.According to him its sofa on wheels(its kinda true)
    Thats why he is refusing to get me the RTR as it might break my back.

      Definitely not. Soft compound and tubeless tyres are comparatively lighter than tube ones. The only disadvantage is that they get worn out earlier than the hard compound ones.

      Michelins have launched the tubeless models in Sirac and M45s. M45's are available at around 3k here in Pune.

      No matter how hard i try to convince him that RTR is more comfortable than the CBX he says its sporty i have to bend blah,blah.

      I took the bike to 3 SC all said the clutch is OK.One SC guys told me they have to take the clutch assembly off and clean everything thats all the gear shift would become smooth(It has become hard).I think Castrol bike zone guys tried to cheat me but i dont no for sure.

      This episode has scared the shit out of me i have to get my warranty back somehow.My bike has covered 14000KMS i never went to the SC after the 4 th service.So theoretically no warranty.This is india anything can happen looks like i have to loosen my purse but i will get "back" the warranty this week for sure.
      Dude RTR is comfortable than CBZX????? Your dad is definitely right there man. Sporty seating position of the RTR is definitely not going to any good for your healing back. Uni seems to be good. Perhaps you could also give GS150R a thought. Read lots of good stuff about it on XBHP and on web.

      I agree to Sarvajit. The CBZX gears do get hard over time. They have ruined my office shoes with those gear shifts . But there is a way to get things better. At the start of the day I kickstart the bike with the iginition off and clutch engaged so that the oil not only lubes the engine but also the gears and also regular greasing of the lever will also ease it a bit. After moving to Motul my gear shifts have become relatively smoother than before.

      • Guys, My bike's battery has gone kaput. The HH stock battery that came with the bike is Amco. Any suggestions on other brands that are better than the stock one will be helpful.

          Thats not my opinion, Its opinion of the guys who are using it on ZMA and P220. They say that its heavy tire.

          Question: What type of tires does STunner come with??? Are they tubelesS?

                Yes, i think they can be used. But we should do some 'juggad' to the OE rim(like changing the rim's mouth to tubeless type). Or i think the stunner's rims also will fit Xtreme,as both are 18 inchers i guess

                  I dont think there wont be much to struggle to fit that tire. I have never seat the tread pattern or profile of tire, so cant comment much on it.

                  I guess Alloys might be same...Are alloys on Shine same with other Honda and HH bikes????

                  Uni gets alloys from Enkei i suppose.

                    I have no idea about that. Unicorn's have "ENKEI" inscribed on their alloys, but AFAIK CBZ X,Hunk dont have them, check ur Xtreme na, whatever be the brand,size and fit ll be the same i guess as all Hondas and HH's have 18 inch wheels.

                      Xtreme doesnt come with ENKEI's, Checked that already.

                      Yeah, All Honda and HH's are 18".

                        You forgot the Stunner, it comes with 17" alloys.

                          Oopsy. My bad Thanks for the correction mate! I didnt know that the Stunner had 17 inch wheels. SO,now Pulsar's and Apache's(front) can use Stunner's tubeless tyres

                              Ya, go for Amaron! Whats more its sealed and wont leak and has the longest warranty. Don't go in for Amco. You could also consider Base Terminal. Its not sealed though. The last thing you should go in for is an Exide. Anything is better than that.

                              How long did your stock Amco last, btw?

                                why not put the tubeless R15 tyres on the Stunner alloys, Will give plenty of grip.
