    No, definitely nothing to worry about and no visit to service center.

              Also switched to Motul 7100 10w50. The difference is really felt on highways. The bike has become eerily smooth and all I can hear is the wind whistling through my helmet, no engine sound.

                That's sad. But there must be a way to make it less visible if not remove completely right?

                  There are products that claim to remove or make it less visible but I'm not aware whether it really works.. Moreover yours is matte, those work on gloss..

                    Hi guys..

                    Here in manglore 110/70 R 17
                    Michelin pilot street tyre rate is -4910₹..
                    Is it same in Bangalore..?or in other major cities..

                    My question is -is it worth to go for Michelin or apollo alpha which they claim 30k life .
                    Or
                    Stick to MRF REVZ which i feel budget friendly and decent overall grip.

                    Can i use masseter 120/80 R17 as fornt tyre for dominar..??

                    Any other trusted brands u guys suggest..

                    My requirements are
                    Dry grip and wet grip is must.
                    Highway and city use
                    Decent cornering
                    A life of 15-18k..

                        Stock mrf is the best economical option but quality wise is not very good cost 6.5 to 7k for set here. Michelin is good but expensive than Apollo and Apollo is higher rated plus less road noise. Apollo cost is 10k here for the set which my dealer frnd is selling for.
                        Apollo would fit ur requirements i have used it in all conditions.
                        If your rear is still mrf and is in good shape than you can pick mrf again. Otherwise my pick would be Apollo with my experience with it.

                          Mix some petrol with water and try rubbing with it and if it goes away use any good polish. Another hack is spry some deo on it and rub with cloth.
                          It above don't work than use any soft liquid rubbing like 3m and use liquid polish after that , will work.
                          And liquid polish will not harm matt shade.

                            Bro.. stock mrf rear tyre is having another 40%tread..
                            How much is the apollo tyre life u got..
                            And grip is same till the end ? I mean its MC tyre.. so later 50% tread ll be of hard compound which compromises grip and braking right?

                              Apollo has good life it can easily last 20 to 25k kms. And it is true zero degree steel belted with a good mix of compounds so grip won't be an issue at later half of the life . I have pmd u the details.
