    Ralco is a bias ply, hard tire. Though it is okay for off-road use, it doesn't offer any comfort per se. It's a decent and cheap tire that lasts long and works well for off road.

    It's a bit pricey (cheaper than a projector setup), but genuine spares, unlike the indian market (you never know what you're getting), and I've been buying from powerbulbs since 2012 for the car/motorcycle.

    No clue on a WA group. Looking at your location, yes you can go for dual sport tyres, but also carry tubes with you just in case. Iridium spark plugs aid in quicker combustion (isn't the stock one iridium?). I'd suggest to go for the double iridium plugs instead (do a quick Google search). What is the jerk you're talking about? At what RPM?
    Stock one’s are not iridium. do you ride your d250 daily ?

    I’ve already installed Osrams night braker but not satisfied. The main problem is of high beam its focus is no where on the road thats why planning for the projector

    Even after reaching"Low fuel Level" in the console I ride for about 60 kms (Trip F),till the gauge drops to the last box......when I fill up it varies from 10-11.5L
    I thought it was 12, but it is 13.14L
