You can stick to the original MRF Zappers. They're sufficiently good. You can get it from Yamaha service center or any MRF store.

Have you checked the brake fluid? It may need top up. Also check the disc alignment etc.

Zappers start at Rs2400 onwards.(with tube)
Dunlop monsters cost 2000 (with tube)

I'd advice against buying Monsters. Though the grip is excellent, even on wet roads, the tyres themselves arnt too reliable. My monsters are just 3 months old and they seem to have a strange wiggle. Initially I thought it was due to a bent wheel/rim but it was disgnosed to uneven wear at the tyres.

hi guys I just changed to mobil1 10w40 for my gladdy, now its performing well, its smoother than before in high speeds,
here the mechanic told me to add oil with petrol somewhat about 15 or 20ml per litre for a month to stop the whistling noise in idle, he also said that he had advised for many with such problem and there is no more noise in their bikes.., I'm going to try it

Adding oil to petrol is never a good idea in my opinion.

My god, you are applying petroil/ mist lubrication on a 4 stroke bike? are you mad, brother? Don't do it ever.

If you add lubricant to fuel for 4 Stroke it can cause clogging in jet of carb. may be not all fuel and oil be atomized before enterring the cylinder.

So, remember mist lubrication is only for 2 stroke bike. If this mechanic is in service center, he should be cut off.

I'll discuss this with some other mechanic and make a decision,
is there any other way to stop the whistling sound??

Can you record and upload a sample?
If you are using a smartphone for recording, preferably use an app which can record in high-quality MP3/OGG
