While returning from Aero India last weekend,a nail got lodged in the rear tyre of my FZ.Being a tubeless one,no one had the knowledge of how to get the work done.When I contacted Panache,OMR,Bangalore on Sunday they said not to remove the nail and leave it there.Bring the vehicle in on Monday and they'll have a look.I left the vehicle yesterday morning and got it back yesterday evening.They had removed the nail,placed some sort of wooden wedge to air seal the hole.When i rode home last night i felt something was wrong,I filled air last night(28F/33R) to check whether it holds till morning.When i checked again in the morning,the front was at 28 but the rear had come down to 22.Could someone let me know if they fixed a puncture on an FZ in B'lore before and where?I'm not happy with what the Panache Service guys have done
Thanks in advance

I'll have to admit, If some 1 wish to see a digital fool, just have a look at the Fuel Level Indicater that FZ sports. Its more than ridiculous. The only true indication that one can get of the low fuel is actually when you are in Reserve!Originally posted by Anjit_Sharma View Postu can't trust d fuel meter,it shows incorrect readings
Now how stupid is that? Can this be fixed? Any1 Any Idea?SAVE TIME....SEE IT MY WAY

That is why I am asking. We can find some craziest guys who would try to stand out of the crowd.

Deflating Tyre: - tyre was completely deflated.

he charged 50/- bucks for both tyres, also i noticed a slightly better handling after that, cannot comment about other things.

The better handling you felt is just a psychological feeling. The only advantage of inflating with nigtrogen is reduced and minimised air loss.Originally posted by Mindgrinder View Posti got nitrogen filled today in my bike tyres, at "tyre park on JC road" - right side opp. Punjab national bank.
