Stator Coil Rewinding in Mumbai
Friends,
Is there any good coil rewinding center in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai ?
Finally, I came to a conclusion of rewinding my GS150R stator.
And also, please let me know if there any shop where I can purchase the bike electrical components such as bullet connectors, loop terminals, 4 pin or 6 pin plugs etc.
Cheers!Comment

It is not a tough job as you think. Try to wind it yourself with 18 or at least 19 swg winding wire with maximum number of turns on each pole without over bulging.Originally posted by kripscorp View PostComment

Guys, I was looking for new tyres for my old GS150R, I came up with suggestions for Zapper Q in earlier posts, but I would like to know what do you think about Michelin Sirac Street? I found it to be exact match for our bike and they also look better(maybe to me only)
Also, these will give better offroad capability to our bike.
And what is the price range for tyres??Comment

then I'll ask my dealer, if he can switch the stock tyres with these, and I'll pay him the difference priceOriginally posted by Maestro View PostComment

When a bike comes fitted with stock TVS tyres, many want to change to MRF.Originally posted by Gagan0123 View Post
When a bike comes fitted with stock MRF tyres, many want to change to an international brand.
Seems like most of us are averse to stock tyres.
I have noticed bajaj bikes with some unknown manufacturer's tyres too, maybe even chinese manufactured.
Anyway, stock tyres are made for use on tarmac in city conditions. I somehow think that indian tyre manufacturers know Indian road conditions better than their foreign counterparts.
If you want more grip on tarcmac, go for a softer compound tyre or wider tyre for hard cornering. If you want to do offroading, etc, then check out the manufacturer's website for harder compound tyres with bigger buttons.
Also, fitting a wider 110/90 tyre would increase the rear tyre height by 9 mm.Comment

First of all, I agree that stock tyres are good for tarmac roads, but I'll be driving in Pune, the area pron to frequent rains, and lot of humidity....Originally posted by antonysg View Post
Also I'll be taking my bike to Lonavala and Lavasa on weekends, so good grip isn't enough, I need the best.
As far as I know, MRF's stock tyres are not as good as Michelin Sirac Street set for such conditions, even though it rains quite a less in my city, but still I have been facing difficulty in having grip on the road(once I just somehow managed to balance my bike while taking a 90degree turn at speed of 70kmph, my shoes' sole was damaged in the process though, and when its a woodland, it hurts a bit on the pocket too). So I think I might be facing such situations in even less speed in this city due to climate, so thinking of making a change in the situation by changing the tyres before it happens.Comment

The bikes the dealer with factory fitted tires and hence the dealer will not accept your offer unless you give the stock tyres free and pay the labor charges and that too if he is personally in need of the tires on your bike.Originally posted by Gagan0123 View Post
It is difficult to find out the tire manufacturer who supplies it directly to the bike company and put forward your offer.
Please remember that most of us are riding with the stock tires without any significant problems and it is difficult to change it every time you ride through different road conditions.Comment

The last dealer I spoke with (Suzuki Swargate) said he will ask the tyre shop if they accept it and give new tyres instead of these, then he will be happy to make this deal(price difference will have to be paid)Originally posted by punarvasu View Post
Bike is costing 71k and with changed tyres, 72k probably
I am not in big rush though, if it will be possible without delays, I'll install it, if delays expected, will skip this plan till the tyres wear out
But even Zapper Q 110/90 are much better than the stock version, so an MRF shop might be able to help in this exchange atleast
One more thing, Michelin Sirac Street are much lighter, so might give better mileage also.....Comment

Originally posted by Gagan0123 View PostNone of the tires for commuter bikes are designed to turn 90 degree at 70 kmh speed, whether it is MRF or Michelin and you have to learn and practice a lot to corner in that speed. I mean, the tires alone are not a sure guaranty against skidding in Indian roads where loose sand is common.Originally posted by Gagan0123 View Post
Michelin Sirac Street is a soft compound tire which offers greater road grip but it wears faster and the bike on it consumes more fuel; I think. But I am not sure about the FE side. But the first preference is to be given to the safety of the rider and in that sense, it is a good option.

Any chance that we can offset the lower fuel average resulting from sticky tires by overfilling the tire pressure?Originally posted by punarvasu View PostComment

Buddy, I do lean a lot, enough that sometimes I do have to counter-steer just to stay on course, I learnt that since I used to ride my bicycle, and then applied most out of what I learnt on Honda Activa(whose side steps touches the road when you lean it too much if they are open), then applied that on GS150R on which I took the highest speed turn at 90KMPH(till now) but still I just want better grip as once I got skid while making one such turn when I was only at 70KMPH.Originally posted by punarvasu View Post

Possibly not but I cannot explain reasons effectively here. And over inflation is dangerous even if the tire is of soft compound.Originally posted by 2strokerama View PostComment

All of us are using the counter steering technique while we ride above 20 or so kmh speed.Originally posted by Gagan0123 View Post
