    So I assume the fz25 shouldn't have an issue with standing on footpegs or alloys.. that's just my assumption until someone really takes it offroad and thrashes it and gives their review.
    I had taken my FZ16 to remote villages of Konkan and western region back in 2009 to 2011 with non-existent roads everywhere. For me that was some rough offroading. The first gen FZ's alloys were made of material from Chuck Norris's balls (I hope that was continued till date).

    I didn't even know by then that alloy cracking was a thing, until reports of KTM's alloys cracking started to spread. And you're spot on on the air pressure part, most people do not get it right.

    I gave a rim change suggestion to the OP in question as to his specific query, which I don't think he'll need to worry.

    Regards.

        Please check the swing arm near the rear sprocket, what tyre pressure is recommended there.

            How will the recommended tyre pressure be different from one given in the manual. As I mentioned it's 29 PSI for both tyres as recommended but usually tyres of this size tend to have more pressure.

              29 and 33. That's what the dealer said while I am taking delivery. But it is different in the manual.

                    See it all depends on ur need... The main key difference between dominar & fz250 is weight & crusing speed on highway.

                    Fz250 is a very light weight motorcycle with the top notch pickup.. very good city ride handling

                    If u want a highway cruising meachine go for the dominar for city riding & "occasional touring" f250.
                    Dominar provides high & stress free crusing speed upto 125 to 130kmph & crusing speed on f250 is around 110 to 115kmph.
                    Its so simple.
                    nothing there to be confused abt.

                      I just asked because in my bike Hunk, i remember it was different in manual and the details in swing arm.

                      Its always better to stick with the recommended value though you can keep 1 or 2 psi more but not much.

                          Then go for the f250.. with higher ground clearance.. nimble on ur wrist while off roading & with a very good fuel efficiency as well.

                                Forget about Himalayan. Many guys got a puncture on that bike. One guy got puncture soon after delivery, which is hilarious considering the conditions the Himalayan is supposed to endure. The FZ25 will be your best bet, and would be more refined than the Dominar. Are you considering CBR250 or the Duke250?
