      It must have been a ride to remember prateek. If you havnt planned then the excitement increases infinite times for sure. Experienced that.

        Hehe thanks guys. By the way forgot to mention, all this with a lady pillion. RTR performed too good, rather NS got puncture, RTR only had issues while on highway w.r.t P220 and NS otherwise it was way ahead than them in snow and black ice.

              Hey guys i'm new to the tribe.. Last week i got MRF ZAPPER-C 120/80 17 for my beast n so far i'm happy wit it. But my concern is there is very little gap between the tyre and chain guard. But tyre has never touched the guard yet.. Would it touch the guard by any chance? I hav attatched the pics

                If its really close, it will touch once the wheels alignment goes wrong.

                  I'v clocked around 25k km on MRF Revs 120/80.. Not faced any issue other than spending more time and effort while replacing rear brake pads..

                      Would be useful for future, wanted to know if this brings any reduction in performance or mileage. Any issues related to these?

                        A very negligible drop in acceleration (actually,many factors affect acceleration). The ride quality has improved due to a thicker tyre. The big difference between 110/80 and 120/80 is that the 120/80 does 2-3 kmph more than the 110/80 at any given engine rpm(say, 110/80 does 81-82kmph at 6k rpm in 5thgear & 120/80 does 84-85 kmph at 6k rpm in 5th gear). The mileage is a bit more, may be 1-2 kmpl more.

                                I don't know exactly as i am just a rookie.....but i prefer shell ax7 10w40....but tvs uses 10w30 grade oil so that can be it someone told me that recommended is 20w40 may be i can be wrong but the two oil that i mention earlier are best ss oil for apache 180 engine.
