Its after some serious "burnout" i guess.....Originally posted by chicane1879 View PostThis is the condition of the rear tyre after 16500 kms.The handling has gone for a toss and even while riding under straight line the rear feels wallowy and you just cant corner smoothly even at sane speeds.At every point of time, the bike needs corrective riding techniques to counter the resistance from the rear tyre. Even the front tyre has lost more than 50% of it's life.
Will be switching to 110 spec Zapper in couple of days.
PS: Even with this condition, the tyres doesnt SKID at all for both of us(me and my brother)!!

trip a and trip b is your trip meters
both record your trip length since last reset. to reset go to trip a mode by pressing upper button and long press lower button it will become 0.0. same with all the modes like trip b,highspeed,0to60..................................................Comment

I see some orange coloured cloth kept near the engine. Remove it. That space needs breathing as that leads to the air-filter unit.Comment

FAQs-RTR owners
For me its never been nor will ever be my DL, For me its always been and will always remain my RL {Riding License}
I confess that I ♥ :
*Being ogled at while waiting
for lights to turn green
*Fielding queries from massed onlookers
*Pushing dream bikes to their limits
*Blasting past slowpokes
*Hoiking the front wheel
*Scraping a knee around cornersComment

I hear the weired sound from the engine while i accelerate. On highway it was very much audible in the speed range b/w 70to 75kmph. And one more thing while i deaccelerate the weired sound is not there. Do tapping sound appears on acceleration and disappear on deacceleration?Originally posted by chicane1879 View PostComment
