This 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)!!

Its after some serious "burnout" i guess.....
haha

congs for your new bike

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.

Nops, the road was wet then.

@Drifty

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

@Drifty
congrats dude

The timing chain can be the culprit but also do check the tappet clearance as their noise will get more prominant when ridden slowly but at higher speeds they are eclipsed by the wind noise.

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?
