Usually front-29 psi
rear-33/34 psi

Front/Rear you got replaced under warranty? For the front you can go for PSD, its readily available and many other options I think, Front tyre Duke 200 is 110/70 MRF rite?

Ive been using Mobil1 10w40 FullSynth for the last 300odd kms after the first service.W30 wasnt available from any other make.HONDA wasnt quite happy with me switching from their oil.

Hope we will both get the 300V ASAP(Secret news).

For those considering, been using 300v after completing 10k kms, Smoother gear shifts, Engine heat is a lot less and to be honest, i dont find it a lot different from Motul 7100.

guys need Help

I am planning to change Bike's Rear tyre

need help in making a choice between Pirelli ( rs 3200) and Conti go (rs 2300)

wich 1 should i Buy ??/

Got my rear replaced unde warranty. Yes Duke has mrf.

Can you gimme the full name of what this 300v is ? Suitable for CBR ?

this is it.......... BTW search for Motul 300v

Thank you!

A dealer here told me that PSDs were having problems. The tyre would tear from the centre. Unsure how true this is or probably the guys intends to sell the MRF Zapper Q! Anyone else heard of this?

Aargee - When you say the new conti-go is better..in what aspect? I am also inclined to go for the Conti-gos again but unsure.

@Biru - Sirac is only 120/90 (if this is the size u were looking at). Doubt it is going to fit properly on the CBR??

Believe it or not in Mumbai the cost of a PSD is 4800-5200 bucks!!!

The initial set of Conti's had cut marks, anyway, discard that issue; this set gives a very good confidence on turns. Ask sayhi2sai's opinion also, he too witnessed my ride for quite sometime during last weekend in the borders of KL-KA & even on bad roads.

Keeping all of them aside, what made me to go back to Conti was 2 reasons...
1. Any tire needs an operational temperature to work well; that said Conti is hard compound; this means, the time taken for it to attain optimum temp is longer than a soft compound. HC is well suited on long hauls making it ideal for touring, so on long run, the tire performs well.

2. Life; hard compound gives a more life than a soft compound & stands well against potholed & bad roads than a soft compound; had there been a medium compound tire like Battleax been available, then, that would've been my ultimate choice.

Last but not the least, I too wanted to experiment with PSD; since it wasn't available, I got to go with Conti or Dunlop. In Dunlop, there's marginally less rubber contact area compared to Conti in the center & hence I opted for Conti.

MRF was out of question as the tire pattern is more suited for rain weather.

So no cut marks on the new ones? Cut marks even I got but the continental guy said it shouldn't be an issue! (showed him images of the cut marks on the tyre)

So does the bike feel more planted on the road on the new set of Conti-Go?

I rode a bike with a PSD at the rear and it felt more planted and cornered easily (due to its round profile).

Yes...but not on short rides; like I don't feel confident (theoretically I don't even take chances) for a distance of upto 10 Kms or so.

I haven't, so can't comment much.

Any one adjusted the pre load of the rear by themselves?there doesn't seem to be any room to do it! :-\

Yes; possible; little tricky for the first time though; do it from the left side (gear shift), should be much easier.
