    If you use soap, lube after wash and drying.

      If you hose wash the bike, then yes you may have to lube the chain after a wash.
      Ok thanks!!

          By increasing the size you will have to compromise on power and pick up to certain extend and bigger the size greater the risk of puncture.
          Also advantages are better grip and stability. Looks.
          Stock size are the best combo. But you can take a chance depending upon your priority.

            OK. Is the difference of power noticeable or minor. Any good suggestion of rubber both 130 &140 rear and for front

                  honda hornet has 4 inch rim , where as NS has 3.5 inch . So it looks different on hornet ,like big tyre. whereas on Ns it looks somewhat small comparatively. Grip is good on wet as well dry tarmac.

                  I haven't changed the front tyre , soon getting a PSD 100/80 for front. Its out of stock currently. for ₹1800

                      Revz C1 is the Duke stock tyre. VFM, and has good grip. Only con from what I've seen is that it's puncture prone.

                          It's only in 150/60. If you want 140/60 you'll need to go for Revz M or the fz stock tyre (ceat or mrf revz).

                            150/60 !!! Won't it cause any problem to 200ns like handling or power output

                              Increased contact patch with the 150/60 tyre will definitely affect the performance. But the rim is somewhat narrow and already the tyre has a rounded profile, so it'll give an exaggerated curved profile on the rim.

                              In fact someone has done it on xbhp. Google "200NS 150/60" and you'll get it.
