            Here nobody want the MRF anymore. Few months back there was shortage, now surplus, but no takes. Most of them going for 120 Zapper or 130 Sport Demon. I've even seen 100/90 in rear. Price 2600-3000 for Revz at various shops.

            Not sure about that. All sellers claim this lasts 25k km.

                  One of the most preferred tyres all around the world . Most of the Ninja's around are shod with the same 140s.

                  More flickable/tiltable than MRF. Didn't try corners.

                    any details on the SS oil? like name, brand, price etc
                    go in for motul ss 15w50, or yamalube same grade. Both are good as ss oils.

                        They are from TVS Apache. No direct fit . Under 50 for each side. I fixed CBZ's handle weight rod with industrial grade 3M tapes and bolted the weights on them. That rod cost 50 per side and 4-5 per clip. Clips wont fit FZ handle so taped them down.

                        RTR weight comes with rod and all fixtures. Direct fit. 400 for pair.

                          as far as i know (not sure) bar end waits are provided for reducing handle vibrations in clip-on handles....but fz's handle is straight is it effective?

                            FZ is already vibe free . Still, effective and handle feels heavier than stock.

                                Are u using it from the first service itself? Does the svc agree on using our own brand other than YamahaLube?

                                yup as long as you buy from their counter.... ask for motul mineral oil 20WX40... costs the same as yamalube...
