      I've never seen good reviews for Pilot sporty. Dry grip is ok and wet grip is bad. Even the dealer suggested not to take pilot sporty.

      FY1 is a very good tyre.

        I would blindly choose the Fy1 over the pilot sporty. I think it is one of the best front tires if you discount the metzelers and pirelli's.

          I am not able to get a hold of Zapper FY 1 and the Yammie dealer is quoting 3000 bucks . i am switching from a TVS shrichakra 90/90 17 i am assuming the Michelin will be better than that.The tread design is not the Thailand make, it the new version which has two lines surrounded by the funky treads.

            At 3000 bucks he is trying to rip you off. If you can't get hold of zapper fy1, go for the zapper fs 90/90-17. It would be a good option.

              Bro I hve used pilot sporty..
              Dry grip is ok nothing great, but wet grip sucks big time specially in mud & slash , go for zapper fs I am using it dry grip is good ,wet grip decent would suffice if u ain't a hard-core rider.😀
              u can also check ceat range of tyres..

                Michelin pilot sporty is manufactured by tvs in India.....so u can't expect great performance from it....zapper fy 1 will cost 2000 bucks...u can try Ceat zoom f , costs around 1500 bucks...

                  A real friend indeed! With me on my side all the time. One of the best decisions in my life. A long road of friendship waits ahead & I know I can count on my black RTR 180.
                  HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!

                    Friends, anyone with any idea about replacing the entire 180 HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY including the doom and instrument panel with a 200 4v kit.. Is it possible to have a change over??

                      I am very happy with the Michelien pilot sporty/MRF Zapper C front and back tire combo.I had recently been to Shivanasamdra and Talkadu river and i was quite impressed with the Dry and Wet grip,Also insipred a lot of confidence while corneing at high speeds.

                      Here is a latest pic of my Ride

                          I think 1/2 reviews here have also talked about the tyre having good grip for 8k-9k kms & then it just goes downhill from there.
                          So after a few thousand kms more maybe you could review it again. Who knows tyre company might've improved it.

                            Not sure if it can b done properly. But if u manage to get it done den d front of ur instrument panel will b visible wic will not look good. N have u checked for availability of new headlamp of rtr200 ???
                            Sorry didn't c properly dat u wanted to change instrument panel also, it might b difficult dan changing just d headlight.

                              I think matte black is available only in the non-ABS version.

                                Sad. But glossy black is also not bad either.
