    My problem with stock tyres was air retention. Need refills every week. The front tyre, after inserting a tube, keeps air for 3 weeks. My activa goes a month without refill.

    Do you suggest stock tyre with tube? Or would other tubeless provide better retention?

    Check for bends/dents on the wheel-rim.
    A tubeless tyre depends on the wheel-rim to be in good shape to retain air. You might be losing air due to a bend in the wheel-rim. This bend can happen due to hitting hard bumps or a fall.

      No prob mate. Also remember to slow down when going over speed breakers and potholes as that does affect the rim. Also if you are from Mumbai, i can help you with the authorised dealers for the tyres. Will cost you a tad less than others. Bike safe..!!

              If i am not wrong, System G / 23 can be used for this.

              The one that you get at SVC costs a whopping 1200 bucks with labour and taxes extra.

                  Not sure where can we get this. I have to use it. Haven't searched yet. But, check out bike garages or else google it. You might find someone in your area.

                      I found System G in a petrol pump near my area. But the bottle with the measurement cap costs about INR 300. Is that the normal price of the product?
                      I have completed 8.2k km over 1 year on my bike and planning to use a fuel additive to clean the fuel lines and carb.

                      Cheers!!

                            Is it so costly? Somehow i had read Rs. 5 for a small sachet or something like that. But, is it worth to buy such big bottle? I mean, it is to be used once in 5k.

                              • Sellers & Retailers, South Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

                                Hi All,

                                It seems a lot of guys in Mumbai have no clue where to get Motul, WD 40, System G/23 from. So for the benefit of the community, in layman terms i have marked the locations on the pic below for easy navigation:



                                Pic 1: Map location of Motul, System G/23 and WD 40 dealers in South Mumbai, Maharashtra.

                                The places highlighted are pretty much self descriptive. However, to make it even more "Noob proof", here are the descriptions:

                                1) The Green highlighted place is Rane Private Ltd. The Signboard above has a black background and the company name written in Yellow colour. They sell all Motul Products; engine oil, fork oil, chain cleaner and lubrication spray. Name of the Vendor: Mr. Arun. Contact No.: +919820687073

                                2) The red highlighted building is the place where you will find WD 40, System G/23. I don't remember the name of the shop now, i think i had posted the details about the same on this thread quite a while back. may be going backwards will yield you the name and the contact no. of this place.

                                I can't make it any more noob proof then this! If you are still confused then it is time for you gentlemen to start opening up your geography books and understand how to read maps!!


                                Cheers,
