    i have full trust on Zapper-Q but their availability is a issue.

    recently hearing a lot about DUNLOP GEO CRUISER.
    has anyone tried that one.

    is it better than Zapper while banking at high speed or low inclination????

    any other options ??

    Yeah, I had them on my rear...Come for 900 something and the best bet for the CBZ. Never slipped once in rain or heavy braking. Had a little tough time though when negotiating sand and pebbles. High speed banking not tried much, but it was grippy at 50s, after which the front tyre seemed unbalanced.

      Bro.. I have had a very good exp with Dunlops belive me my stock tyres went as long as 60k on my bike after that I have changed both of em to Ceat ( front is Ceat Secura 2.75x18 & rear is 120/80 - 18 Ceat vertigos tubeless.. ) & it seems to work pretty well from my 12k Exp on this tyres..

      Recently one of my frnd tried Dunlop Geo Cruiser on his Uni & he is happy with it..

      Just a suggestion why dont you have a look if MRF Meteors is available cause it looks good with buttons

              I've had Dunlop Geo-cruisers on my CBZ* for more than 4 years. They were great.

              Recently, I've changed the front to "Michelin M45" and rear to "Continental Navigator". Sizes remain the same as the stock. Both great tyres. Went for Continental because Michelin M45 wasn't available in 100/90. Now there is more grip during dry/wet both, corners feels much more grippy and the most brilliant thing is, the bike has now a tendency to stand straight after leaning in the corners, which I mean in a good way. I have never observed this with Dunlops.

                i agree to you brother. i am also using this zapper q.
                gripping is real good both in city ride as well as while corners.
                this tyre is the best for leaning...+ tyre treads are sexy.
                zapper q rocks!!!
                earlier i also used mrf 3.25 (rd350 tyre) gripping on normal roads
                was ok but actually that tyre was not ment for a bike like cbz.
                was real dangerous on corners...

                and for front i am usin normal stock dunlop tyre. and m not really
                happy with it...

                    Dunlop GeoCruiser has the longest life I have ever seen. 30K kms.on my Fiero F2&no sign of deterioration yet!
                    Grip is fine in dry, tarmac&offroading not bad either. Wet nothing to write home about, just like any other.

                      I changed the bushes and yes, it does improve handling if the bush is worn out. For checking if it is, put bike on main stand, ask someone to hold it steady, then go to the bike's rear and try moving the wheel in left-right direction. If it moves on applying force, you might have to replace the bush or get it lathed.

                        i had to change my bikes swingarms bushes .....

                        worn swing are bushes has nothing to do with HANDLE wobbling.
                        its for rear stability

                        with worn bushes u cant bank ur bike and in wet/sandy roads its feels as if the real wheel is punctured.(almost same thing happens with worn out rear bearing )

                        handling WOBBLING (not vibrations) can be due bad front rims or worn out bearing in steering cone.

                            what could be the main reasons for handle wobbling basically in higher rpm's....

                              If this helps:

                              I had two 35w bulbs running on my original 2.5A battery. When used at night, the battery used to die after an hour.
