    With Remora, you're in safe hands if you know where not to exceed limits. Yes you probably shouldn't scrape foot pegs on those but it does everything else very well.
    Used most of them apart from pirellis and Michelin street. But let me put it this way.

    Order from worst to the best.

    Srichakras < Michelin Pilot Sporty < CEAT Zoom < Zapper Series (Except S) < Remoras - Zapper S < Mrf Masseter < Pilot Street / Angel CT < Metzellers

    Changed a lot of tyres.. This is what I feel. Srichakras are made of steel

      Hi Guys

      Has anyone here done any functional modifications for their bikes?

      I wanted to get a few thing updated on the bike like :

      Tank grip pads
      Tank protection pad
      adjustable brake and clutch lever (Bangalore traffic)
      auxiliary led lights (these I have decided to get from Aliexpress. Will put up a first impressions review once i get my hands on it)

      If anyone has done these mods could you direct me to the product page since I am not really sure where we can get ones that fit with the bike.

      Thanks

          How is the windblast post 100? At what rpm does the machine reaches 110? How are the vibrations at that speed? Can this bike serve as a touring machine? How comfortable is it for around 600 kms in a day?
          I am planning a bike in near future. Dominar ABS is out of my budget. Fazer 250 will make no sense for me if it is launched without ABS.

            As its a naked bike u will feel heavy windblast after 100... But u can install a visor & it will serve the purpose. 100 u will reach on 7k rpm. At this speed u won't feel any vibes only small buzz on the foot pegs on 9k rpm & this bike can do 100-110 all day long... No worries here!!.. suspension​ is well balanced & u won't feel any back pain even if u ride non-stop for 500kms... 😃.

              Thanks mate for such quick response. I know visor is always a option but I personally find visors an eyesore on naked machines. And I always had something for naked machines.
              Is there any visor with easy install and removal so that I can use them just for long rides and remove them post rides? And do we have option to mount number plate at some other place than above headlight? Like some mounts attached to front wheels forks or something like that.

              Was talking something like this..

                    Guys. I like the red color variant. In photos it looks bright, in person it looks very dull, is it is legal to wrap a very slight variation of red colour?

                      I was getting 30 kmpl. When I mentioned this during 4th service, they tuned it to give 35-37 kmpl. Tuning was done on a machine and was charged Rs.100 for tuning on the machine.

                        They ripped you off. Like really? Which dealership? Do you have the receipt?

                            That's called Carb tuning. Done free of cost. Please escalate this issue.
