  • ^^^The handlebar is ideal for commuting... Thats is why it is like dat... If you wanna change your handle bars for a more sporty look you could try aftermarket handlebars... If you go for a free flow exhaust n get it done from a knowledgeable person then surely it will give a lift in power with the sound... If it is a badly made exhaust then it could adversely affect your engine... The other way you can get good sound is to add a K&N n then upjet.... Mileage will go down but u will surely get a growl

          • My Gladiator has nearly completed 20 thousand kms. Bought a set of Zapper FS and C. Cant wait to try them out and see the difference.
            I remember the review of my Gladiator DLX in Bikeindia where they said that the only thing wanting in this otherwise awesome machine are better tyres. Let's see how my beauty performs with better rubber.
            What tyres does the new Gladiator comes with?

            P.S.: Yes,yes. I know 4 years and 20k kms is quite pathetic. But I have had her for only an year and a half.

            • Hey nightwing,

              The new gladiator come with the Zapper FS and Zapper C... You will surely feel a difference in handling.... Zapper C are very good tyres... Handling should improve...

                        what's the oil grade for Gladiator?
                        if it's xW40 then you can go for Yamalube Semi synthetic version(15W40)...

                                Yes, the recommended grade is 20w40. And I just found out from Yamaha service station that Yamalube semi-synthetic is 15w50 which according to the mechanic is too thick for Gladi.

                                What other options do I have? Castrol?
