    Fitting was easy you just need to order jst connectors along with the clock . Order 20 30 pieces for 100 120 bucks join them to make a loom insulate them and connect the terminals to pilot lamp.
    Its done. The benefit of jst connector is that u can remove the panel without breaking up the wiring for the clock.just need to disconnect one connector couple. No cutting no splicing of the wiring assembly and u can throw it out in case it fails

    It seems Yamaha has stopped selling DID chains for V2 and giving out vastly inferior rolon. Kudos to Yamaha for bajaj-isation

    It's not water based but adhesive like, sticks like a gum. Works great for ~500 KMs in normal city conditions.

    I'd still prefer using gear oil for lubrication but that mucks up the rear rim and the chain guard badly, cleaning gets necessary. With water based, the duration is much less, this one seems like a balanced approach to keep the chain lubed.

    Hope it helps.

    Regards.
    Thanks a lot mate for the detailed reply.
    Good to know.

    Cheers!!

    I don't have any clue if this lube is okay for O-ring chains. PFA the image of the chain lube attached.

    Does any of you have ever came across this chain spray? If not, should i again get it cleaned from reputed place using a reputable chain spray, don't wanna damage the O-rings!

    Anyone here who has fitted them on their bike?
    I changed my rear 140/70 conti to masseter on march. No problem with tyre guard although my guard is little bit trimmed. With this tyre, bike is eager to lean more. Grip is good, but couple of times tyre got locked (I think mainly hard braking and no ABS).

    No bro! They just said that it might be a loose connection and they also told me that they fixed it! No engine warning light from there after! And am not satisfied with their reply though.. [emoji19][emoji53]

    So I went to 3 shops today. 1 was an official MRF dealer - Bombay tyres Mumbai.
    And I'm sad to say all 3 of them said it's not possible to fit the masseters on the R15 v2.
    One said the front is a thinner profile so it won't fit. One said the rear is taller so it'll touch the guard. One just refused outrightly saying he has tried and it didn't fit. Wtf? [emoji14]

    anyway, masseters will provide more grip than the stock, but being softer will have much lesser life...stock front provides pretty great grip for any real life situations on our roads, and while the stock rear leaves one wanting more grip from it under cornering or hard braking, it is still good enough for all purposes considering its large life expectancy.

    so stock both would be best..or otherwise, go for stock front and masseter rear (which is 140 mm, wider than the stock dimension) if you really want more grippy rear...
    Thanks for the advice will update when I change them
