    Don't use 20w50. The recommended grade is 10w30. You can use 10w40. Never go for 20w50. 20w50 is more than twice as thick as 10w30.

    He is taking about Michelin Pilot Sporty tyres. Which has inadequate wet grip which I also experienced first handedly on my Unicorn

Yes it is that bad for wet surface that I'm considering the stock remora slightly better for wet roads. The Dry grip is good and above Remora's though.

Even after riding it for 8200 kms engine doesn't run smoothly.There is lot of engine braking and pickup is not as expected. Gear shifts are not smooth and gearbox feels clunky. I drove other RTR200 of my friend which is far smoother than mine with same odo reading. Please suggest me what to do and thanks in advance.
    For the engine part, you might need to get the carburetor tuned.
    For the gearbox part, maybe tighten the clutch wire for smoother shifts?

    Will use this tyre for sometime now as I don't think the dealer will replace it now. So I'm stuck with it. If anyone thinking of buying Pilot Sporty please don't make the same mistake. The tire is good for hot summer roads but even the Stock remora are better in handling the wet roads then this.

    Hi Guys. I'm really in a weird delimma here. I live in Pune and recently had multiple punctures on rear tyre. Since my bike has already crossed 15K KM mark, I decided to change the rear tire. After a lot of research, I was all set for buying Michelin Pilot Street 130/70 R17. But to my suprise I could not find this tire with the dealers around Wakad. So I went for Michelin Pilot Sporty 140/70 R17 instead. I thought since Michelin has a name and a good brand this tire will also be good, however after reaching home I researched and read some reviews. And everywhere I read it's mentioned that this tire has a NO GRIP on wet surface. Since it's Pune and the rainy season is almost here, I'm very much hesitant to ride with this tire as some reviews even mentioned that it's very dangerous to ride with this tire on wet roads.
    I don't want to end up in a hospital as I have to ride 40 KMs to office and back every day.
    The Tire dealer is Metro Tires near Jagtap dairy in Pimple Saudagar. I don't know if it's possible to return the just purchased tire. Need suggestions here.

    Thanks in Advance.

    After they cleaned the front sprocket (which they haven't done during service, which is really worst) and adjusted the slack and lubricated (Again not done during service) it was fine. Whether the noise coming from engine side or from rear on the muffler?
    Its coming from the rear of the bike, from the silencer.
