Bro, i would suggest you not to ride with this tyre. You might have to face fatal consequences (my own exp).Originally posted by dnyanesh View PostI noticed a bump on my bike's rear tyre the other day. I didn't feel anything odd about the ride until I noticed it and then felt it on smooth roads. What must be the cause? What do I do now?

This has happened either cuz of rash driving or driving on improper roads (with too many gravels).
As others have mentioned, incase you can get it replaced under warranty, its well and good.

I don't think u would be eligible for the warranty..Originally posted by dnyanesh View PostThe bike is 2 years old. Am I still eligible to get the replacement under the warranty?
the bike comes with a one year warranty..
that means u would have to change the tyre on your own expense..
still, first check with the svc guys for the claim..~four wheels move the body, but two wheels move the soul..

You have said, you replaced the piston and its rings at 20k. Did you rebore the cylinder? Were the piston and rings installed properly?Originally posted by Mizt View PostGuys, I am having serious mileage and pick up issues lately. The bike gives a mileage around 25Kmpl , I filled in 1 litre and rode exactly 25kms the bike went into it reserve again. I wouldnt complaint if it was something near 30+ mark with good pickup. The ride is pretty sluggish and pull that used to be there in intial gears is missing.
The bike 22K on the odo last service was done on 20k and piston and rings set was changed during the service. 1000KM back changed the rear tire to tuffgrip
What could be the problem , what are the diagonistics to be done?
Also, are you facing this issue since the time you have changed the piston and rings, or experiencing it lately?
Check for the alignment of the rear tyre.

The bike now struggles to go behind the 100k mark.Originally posted by devils_friend View PostYou have said, you replaced the piston and its rings at 20k. Did you rebore the cylinder?

That portion of the tyre has got cracked walls...maybe did u try to do a fishtail with the rear brakes locked/parked the bike unknowingly on a very hot surface? I had seen this recently on an indica we had rented during a tour.didnt ask the driver,as it was a bump on the side of the tyre,that dint come in contact with the road. Anyways,get it changed asap and u won't be getting warranty on it,so no use trying. Try some hard compound rubber which would save u from the frequent punctures,though u would get less sticky tyres.Originally posted by dnyanesh View PostI noticed a bump on my bike's rear tyre the other day.

U might get locally made led markers..but dont think they would last long.no guarantee u see? The circled part is called Belly Pan..the Apache's part fits better than stunner IMO. The colour would never match since producers are different.so get it painted locally.Originally posted by Sahil Arsenal Fc View PostJust planning to modify my black/green Fz-s so needed some help.........i wanna know where can i find led side logo for fz-s,i have seen a black side logo with white led in that ....and second i wanna add a body part to my bike ...the green part in the stunner pic below the engine .... i have circled it in red....I live in kandivali (Mumbai) ...so can u guts suggest me will i be able to add that stunner part on my bike ??R the color of fz-s and the green stunner matching??or any other alternative simlar to this part will be appreciated and where i can buy those led side markers except the original ones??

I guess, there is some issue with the rear wheel alignment. Is the tyre size perfect or have you fixed any bigger tyre??Originally posted by Mizt View PostThe problem creeped up only couple of days back , didnt face them till then. The bike now struggles to go behind the 100k mark.
Do you feel any power loss?? Any heaviness while riding??

I don't have much knowledge about the tyres, i still have the stock one on mine..Originally posted by dnyanesh View Postwhich tyre would you guys recommend?
MRF Zapper's are a good choice.. And also check Dunlop tyres..
other members might be able to give a better recomendation..~four wheels move the body, but two wheels move the soul..

Hard compound tyres don't have good wet grip right? I want something which will be less prone to punctures and be sticky with wet grip as well.Originally posted by SpeedyKol View PostTry some hard compound rubber which would save u from the frequent punctures,though u would get less sticky tyres.
I think I won't opt for the stock. Which model of Dunlop do you recommend?Originally posted by Syed Nadeem Ahmad View PostI don't have much knowledge about the tyres, i still have the stock one on mine..
