    I am serious too.

    that rear tyre is one reason I chose this beast dude! It would be suicidal on my part to even think about it...

    BTW why do you think its an upgrade to replace it?


    nitrogen in tyres
    of all gases, why nitrogen? anyway, its 70% of the regular compressed air we fill... I personally prefer if it were some "helium" weight reduction you know... and cool factor!

      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.

      ohh man look at the tyre ...its looking like a tyre of Luna ...

      look at mine bike's rear tyre

            in an earlier post Leadpb has said the cam shaft which have marked N is a new one...
            my Fz was from the very first lot for MP but it has marked N there...

            and this thing I heard from owners only from South..not from any other region
            might be common there.....

                  • ^^ cool! Eagerly waiting for the day light pics! What is the estimated cost?



                    and by the way, I touched 106kmph today. The wind resistance is way tooo much... I will not be pushing it till I cross 1500km mark.

                    • Few Questions

                      Few Questions Guys -

                      1. Can we replace the FZ mirrors with the 1 in RTR? I feel the later look very stylish.

                      2. What does fixing a puncture cost (tubeless tyre)

                      3. I feel some vibrations when i touch 60 kmph mark.. Is it fine?

                        if ur bike is in run in period it will feel a bit stressed as per revving and give u some vibes.

                            its normal during runin period
                            but don't rev d engine more then 4500 rpm till 1 st service.[/quote]
