+1, Eventhough pirelli is way better, stock IRC is not that bad either. Unless you want to upsize the tyres there is no point for wasting money for another brand tyres. My stock IRC tyres lasted 17k for front and 15 k for rear. -
No dealer will take your old tires and give you a discount on the new ones. This is only done for cars.Originally posted by lucky saini View Post
Originally posted by trustvishwas View PostI agree too. The IRCs are not all that bad. My bike has clocked 21000 kms till date with the stock IRC tire in the front. Rear was changed to Pirelli at 17,000 kms only because it had squared off (center portion had worn off a lot and the profile was not rounded anymore. Was kinda flat in the center) and i was going to the track and needed a good rear tire.Originally posted by maheshkmr View Post
After 2 track days, even with stock IRC in the front i never had any scary moments. I've scraped my foot pegs and even the feelers on the pegs at the bottom have bent a bit.

True that. This year, I was almost sold on the Pirelli for the CSS session. However, did not find the stock around and was forced to do CSS on the stock tyre.Originally posted by maheshkmr View Post
Must say that I'm more than satisfied with the levels of grip offered by the stock tyres...just one word of caution, the stock IRCs need proper inflation and a very proper warm up for them to start giving the levels of feedback and grip which you would normally expect from a tyre on the race track.
My take on this: stick to IRC and change with Pirelli when they start wearing off.Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.Comment

Just completed 20k kms on my bike...
With the stock IRC tires and they are still not ready to give up... Same goes with the brake pads too.. (Stock)...

I think my stock IRC might last another 7k+ kms.. Unbelievable. You must be riding only on highways. However when I changed front tyre at 17k, it didn't actually worn out fully and can be used morethan 3k kms. I changed it because here in kerala it is really hard to get good tyres. I found one pirelli front tyre after a lot of search and the shop was 50 kms away from my home, so I couldn't took it to home.
When I changed rear tyre at around 16 k it was not fully worn either, but the grip was not good so I changed because of safety.
Anyway 20k kms on stock tyre and stock pads are amazing. Congrats
My front pad lasted till 14k, rear pad changed at 16k.Comment

Hi Guys,
It's been two crazy weeks!
1800kms done (1st servicing within 6 days of buying the bike)
Early morning rides before going to office just to finish the run-in period
The bike is great, good road presence, yet to get used to people asking me to turn off my headlamp. The shockers were mighty stiff, got the settings changed during the servicing and its much better now.
The seat is super hard! Considering Saddlemen's Gel seat but their way too expensive.
Have changed the clutch and brake levers to "adjustable, extendable and foldable levers" titanium colord ones, they match the kawasaki decal color to the T.(will post pics later)
Also got the zero gravity double bubble smoked windscreen.
Things which I am awaiting, rascal grafiks rim strips, keiti carbon fibre gas cap cover, cramp buster throttle assist and orbital carbon fibre tank pad. Should reach me by month end.
Few pics

2) Adjustable rear sets/ Riser plates
3) Adjustable brake and clutch levers

Here are the steps:Originally posted by bhushanrulz View Post
for washing the bike, you can use the below products:
ArmorAll Wash-n-Wax or Optimum No Rinse
For wax you can use Meguiars NXT Tech Wax paste
Use a good sealant such as Collinite 845 after the wax job.
Some links for you: 1 and 2
Use a good wash mitt and microfiber cloth. Anything else will damage the painted surfaces. If you can also use a clay bar then it will prepare the surface for waxing and give you the ultimate finish. The above links also have contact info on where you can source the products in India.ATGATT - Because hospital ceilings are boring !!!Comment
