What tyre pressure are you guys maintaining in the front and rear during summers?
I am on stock MRF tyres both front and back.

Gifted my ride with a new set of rubbers at the rear. Got myself a Dunlop Monster from JC road to prepare my ride for the rains ahead. Not the best thing on the market but I found it a decent alternative to Michelin Sirac (which cost a whopping 3900 bucks).
Dunlop Monster 100/90*18 Price: Rs.1950 (including tubes)
Other options considered: MRF Meteor (Rs.2400), Ceat Gripp (Rs.1800)
The JC Road guy did a poor alignment causing the tyre to touch the swingarm - but later I got it fixed with my local mechanic. Quite surprising that 100/90 for the Gladiator is a very snug fit. Any wider, and it wont fit.

Bike's much more torquey now. Its able to pull the rider and a pillion even at 2500rpm in 5th gear. The power band has increased. Virtually no drop in mileage. The exhaust is now much louder.Originally posted by emzee View PostSo what are your views after getting your bike joelled?
The mods done are 150cc bore, bigger carb, full head tweek & FFE.Well it does. But then again who caresOriginally posted by emzee View PostAnd the sticker on the exhaust in the second pic mentions " For Track Use Only". Is that really so?

Hi guys heres my joelled G150Originally posted by cmahajan View PostA question to all SS125 owners:
Where have you fixed the front number plate? Mine is on the front mask and I don't like it there.
I want to move it below the headlamp but there doesn't seem to be enough place to reposition it there.
If anyone has done it then pls post some pics of the same.
Thanks!!

@cmahajan,

I got the White LED stuff done this weekend! Looks lovely now. The only problem I face now is that my eyes end up ogling at my console instead of focusing on the road ahead! Here are some pics:Originally posted by prashanth lobo View PostNo it wont affect the reliability of the speedo and tacho if you handle the stuff with care. You could try white led's. I don't have a picture of the bulb. So cant help you with that. The thing with leds are that they usually beam light straight. So there can be dull spots on the sides of the speedo. Nowadays you get SMD's maybe those will light the speedo better. You will have to find one small enough to fit inside the speedo. Its a job you can do yourself actually. You can experiment with a few different colours leds and smds to get it right.

Actually I was quite blown away with the white backlit dials on the Suzuki GS150 and the Karizma. A local guy has assured me of fitting white LEDs inside the meters which will replicate that look. Will it affect the reliability of the speedo/tacho? I want good looks for sure, but not at the expense of reliability. Ur advice plz??
Also, do u have an idea about the type of bulbs used inside the speedo/tacho? A pic of the bulbs (if u have spare ones) would be helpful.

Results was not too good so reverted back to normal bulbs... Have to take mine to those meter guys to get it fixed...
