    Last year I bought Bosch maintenance free battery for my friend's Glamor. It was FZ's fame 5Ah unit. I'm too gonna get that once mine is done

      What are the symptoms one can look out for? Do I need to visit the service center to get this checked..?
      1.Look at the rims side carefully while rotating the wheel
      2.place your thumb on the side while rotating so that you can feel the bend
      3.put the 1st gear while on center stand and carefully watch the back...my friends fz with a bent rim can be noticed from the back since it looks like its wobbling

        apart from the above mentioned things a bent rim usually accompanies loss in air pressure...

          as regards to your stock rear is concerned I will say to test the vulcanized region before putting them in the bin... but a word of caution do check the portion before and after rides just to make sure they are OK and wouldnt blast away abruptly...
          Hmm.. well I think no tire will grip all that well on gravel unless it was SPECIFICALLY designed to do that (like Dirt Bike tires). Will check out the withering patch again.

          deville_56: thanks man. I think I may be able to find them somewhere here itself or in worst case, in mumbai.

          Something or the other keeps getting screwed on my bike nowadays :'(
          The seat - which is the one with a silver strip running in the middle which divides the rider and pillion seat - the stitching is giving way and the foam is visible Any suggestions apart from the yamaha mesh seat in Pune? I do not want those cheesy looking ones with a flame like structure running down the middle. even fazer's single piece one should do actually.

          Q: the mesh seat is an addon or will i hav to get rid of this seat to install that one?

            you can always go for total black cover for the seatwhich can be manufactured by any seat cover vendor...
            the mesh seat cover is an add on u have to install it over the present cover it cost 1200rs...

              So, the basic test would be to look carefully.. and try to notice some wobbling while riding.. hmm.. thanks..

              I had hit a hidden crater today while riding at 80kmph and was getting a li'l worried about the rim bents.. thanks for clearing it out..

                Needless to say NEVER keep your fingers anywhere near the wheels when the wheel is in motion unless you want to lose your fingers.

                  you can probably lookout for drstic reduction in air pressure on tyres, if they are giving away psi really fast then it can give you a possible hint of bent rim.

                    Sometimes you will bend your rim and still not leak air, although it will affect your ride quality. In this case best thing to do is a physical check on both sides of the rim with your fingers.
