Hey Guys,

Can anyone direct me to a tyre shop in Delhi (Central and West Delhi preferred) which stocks michelin tyres. Almost all the stores listed on the michelin site do not stock bike tyres.

BTW does anyone know if the pilot street radial 150/60 is available in Delhi. I saw a post on fb and the size is available in Bangalore.

Thanks.

Guys,

Check this video. Is this genuine?? Wondering how this incident happened..



read more about it from the below link

KTM Duke 390 catches fire at fuel station (Video)

Yup this video is genuine and as other members said before it might have been due to fuel overflow pipe blockage or excess petrol might have spilled over engine/exhaust.

If you see at around 10-15 sec duration you can see rider suddenly closed something or similar to that and attendant took off that nozzle in hurry so excess petrol spilled over engine might be the reason.

This is a serious threat to all vehicles.. Luckily no one was seriously hurt.. We have to be attentive and make sure the tank doesn't get over filled

But doesn't the fuel filler thing at the petrol bunk stops the flow automatically when it senses that the tank is full ?? and the fire seems to have started from the right side of the tank, exactly where the fuel overflow pipe is situated..

Where do you live in Hyd? Their is a SVC in Begumpet which I hope would be closer to you.

4 month review for my Dookey (D390).. Long post ahead!

The past:
I had migrated to the Duke from the R15. The R15 was a work of sheer quality from the curves to the plastic to the engine. Fill it, rev it and rev it harder and she never let me down. Kiddo, I used to call her. A thirst for more power brought be to the D390.
One of the SVC managers was kind enough to give me a long test ride of the bike. Spent good 30 minutes with her, in traffic in open roads and even some corners. And I was sold.
With feedback from some members here, I got Dookey home on 18^th August.

The present:
The initial honeymoon period has now faded into distant past. All that remains is a beautiful wife that will obey you on some days and revolt on others.

The test ride bike I rode was completely different to what I own now. Am trying to bring my bike closer to the test ride bike since forever! Here is what I have done.. Changed spark plug, oil filter, completely drained the tank and dried it under the sun. Still the bike refuses to provide constant performance.
Here is what I feel happens on some occasions 'I twist the throttle but the corresponding response from the engine is very poor. The note from the silencer is flat (not the bassy one). The bike just lugs along'.
On other days this happens 'I twist the throttle and the big lunges forwards and breaks into a sprint - exhaust sound and engine pull in place'.
Have not quite understood this change in character over different days at the same time at the same engine temperature.

Moral of the story is that the I find the bike 'temparamental' (As all beautiful ladies are). And with the high compression ratio that it has, fuel quality plays a damn important role.
Have done 5200 kms in nearly 4 months, have hit 156 kmph on the speedo nearing redline on 5^th

There are many tyre stores in Janak Puri area where I usually pick tyres. But haven't been to them for years now. Wouldn't mind giving you company if you're interested in paying a visit.

There is one on Janak Puri Jail road called Bindra tyres. He's the biggest dealer of tyres in that area. See if you can get his no. on Just dial, etc.

I just called them up. They haven't heard of 150/60 and they don't have stock of 140/70.

If I have some spare time, I'll give them a visit this weekend. Will let you know what I find (if I go )

Well..that's embarrassing :P
I at least expected them to say they can get it, but not heard of it?? Damn!
I might go to karol bagh this weekend. let me know if you want me to check it out there. There are bigger dealers over there.

I just called up Master Tyres in KB. The guy on the phone said he has it (also Metz and Pirelli). Even I plan to go now. Need to change my rear tyre asap.

I'm free on Saturday morning. We can go together if you're free.

I'll be going to the magic auto showroom near PP jewellers. Some formalities are pending for a friends car. I'll be free by 11 or so and can meet you there. Does that work for you?
