Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Got the tyres replaced with Michelin sirac Street 100/90, must say that I was a little sceptical over the tyre scrapping but no issues so far.was on zapper q 100/90 before. Over 9 Years old and 63000 Kms, the bike still holds its ground. Parts are hard to find now though.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Recently managed to break the leg shield over one of the countless bad roads in Chennai.
I am looking to purchase this online from LEG SHILED (ENGINE GUARD) OF YAMAHA GLADIATOR SS 125 SERIES and fix it myself. But there are several assemblies listed and I am not sure which one I should be buying. I thought I was right to choose
but then there was another listing:35BXF83850P1 UNDER COVER ASSY 1-DRMK
Both cost Rs. 470. Now I am not sure which one to buy. Anybody who has bought the same from IndiaSpares, please clear this for me. It would also be helpful to know the cost at the Yamaha Service Centre.35BXF83950P1 UNDER COVER ASSY 2 - DRMK Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Finally i changed tyres for my gladi and after lot of thinking i sticked onto stock size for rear(3.00 - 18). Front i fitted Zapper FS and rear Nylogrip plus. The ride feels good. Heard Nylogrip plus will last longer compared to Zapper & MoGrip.Originally posted by curve_king View Post100/80 & 80/100 is very different.
80/100 - honda shine rear (mrf)
80/100 - ceat milaze or secura m86 one of them ( don't remember the exact name )
90/90 is tough but 1/2 bikes do have them. Last I had read one of those specs was a pirelli
.
But I couldn't stress this enough - 'keep searching'.
Search on snapdeal too.
P.S - 100/90 from 3.00 seems a big jump. All of that pickup would seem to vanish.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Thanks curve_king for your suggestion. I tried to check 80/100 & 90/90 tyres, unfortunately not able to find one. Do you have any idea which brand of tyre have this specification. Does MRF or Michelin have this? Also i need a clarification here, is that 80/100 and 100/80 tyre size same? I am really confused in choosing the tyre size for rear. In fact i asked about 100/90 as that was suggested by my mechanic.Originally posted by curve_king View Post
Please suggest.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
If you ride sedately then stick to stock size. Else next size upgrade is 80/100 & 90/90 after that. 100/90 is too much imo. And 'hunt' for the best model to feel satisfied for next 15-20k kmsOriginally posted by Swaminathan Gopalan View Post
Yes it is time to change tyres Im sure.Originally posted by krishna77 View Post
Front - ceat 2.75-18 zoom ( tread design equivalent to mrf zapper fs )
Rear - dont know of the model names but try for one close to stock size. Like suggested above -- 80/100 & 90/90
When I had bought (8 months back) 3.00-18 zapper c was available, so check for that too.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Hi friends, I've done 33K km.s on my 2012(Nov) SS-125. Is it time to change the battery and the tyres? Please suggest whether a 7sh Amaron/Exide battery would fit or not. And also, what is the widest tubeless tyre(preferably MRF Zapper) that I can have at the rear? If anyone has done the same please suggest.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Hi Guys, I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I am a proud owner of Yamaha Gladiator SS125 from 2011, bought as a second-hand though. The machine is really performing well without disappointing me. But i feel the rear tyre could be little wider. Now its time for me change shoes for my gladiator and i am thinking of upgrading to 100/90-18 in the rear(which is Honda Unicorn tyre size). I tried searching the forum but unable to find sticky solution to this. Did anyone upgraded to 100/90-18 rear tyre in their gladiator? FYI, i am a sedate driver with not quick cornering and rash driving. Also i am not concerned about mileage too. Will it affect performance or stability of the vehicle? Experts please provide your feedback?.Leave a comment:
