      If they claim to have made it for Impulse then it will not be tubeless, dont worry. If u still have doubt call them at +91-8010019000. Besides, I just advised u about approx. price by sharing this link.

                U mean 10w40?
                The recommended is 10w30, please let me know the 500 kms review of full synthetic. Im also planning to opt for fully synthetic.

                  I checked almost all Shell Petrol Pump even i checked Motul's dealer
                  Nobody is having recommended 10W30 (Mineral or synthetic) engine oil have to go with Hero's engine oil for first service (500 KMS)

                    sure bro........using 10 40 w instead of 10 30 doesnt a matter...and if u need that 10 30w indeed ,it is available in honda show rooms (not hero show rooms) actually made by honda ....10 30w full synthetic made in japan.(imported).price Rs 504/..i went for it. it was available there but date of production was not mentioned..and the bottle looked very old.thats why i refused it and went for shell. note -----full synthetic 10 30w not available in hero show rooms all over india...do not buy semi synthetic....either mineral or full synthetic...check the bottle carefully ...note FULL SYNTHETIC writing over the bottle...have a great ride.

                      Some other options for rear tyre
                      Buy 3/R 17 Size Ceat GRIPP Tube Type Tyre Online | Tyres on EMI @ ChangeMyTyre.com

                      Check out Dunlop Monster trail manufactured by Falcon Tyres near Mysore.

                      I am planning to get this tyre from CEAT
                      Buy 100/90R17 Size Ceat VERTIGO SPORT TUBELESS Tyre :: TyreOnWheels.com
                      this is also available tube type.


                      good tire if one can find it in our country.


                      check out Trails GP1 model.



                      MRF Tyres exhibits a wide range of tyres for different vehicles, bikes, cars and for various terrains. Browse through the list and learn the details about whichever tyre you like.

                      all the MOGRIP series fit for Impulse rear.

                      Some of these tires are 100 /90 -17. I prefer width 100 than 110 for Impulse .

                        My rear tyre is wobbling more than before. Ive checked the wheel balancing and its fine.
                        Any idea where the problem could lie??

                          Hi,

                          Following could be the reason for your issue. (I did read that u check the balancing n its fine)

                          1. Rear wheel out/bent.
                          2. Air pressure in rear tyre might be lesser than required.
                          3. Bad bearing in rear wheel.
                          4. If you recently fixed a puncture on ur rear wheel then check the change in the distance between the mould line on the tire & the rim.
                          5. Maybe the handle bearing is too loose, check the cone set settings just as added measure.
                          6. Swing arm could be the issue too but that would happen only in case of crashes, but still getting the chasis checked wont harm in case nothing helps.

                          Get all these settings checked at ASC only.

                          Inputs n suggestions are welcome.

                          Regards,
                          Burnoutdee

                              Hi,

                              I was wondering where have u disappeared.

                              That Tak tak sound seems to be due to design fault in cone set in neck as my friend has got an orange Impulse n he put the new cone set in front of me at ASC but the sound got
                              worst. Luckily, I dont get that sound apart from certain jerks. It seems we'll have to live with it unless perform a major mod on handle/neck settings.

                              Ur logo on helmet is looking amazing bro!


                              its all there to read bro...
