    even i m thinking of M62
    2.75 is small for ZMR,Get 3.0 * 18 for your ZMR,its the recommended size.

      u should have gone for michellin m45 or pirelli sport demon not to hamper ur performance
      Sirac makes the gearing a bit tall, thats the reason there is a slight drop in acceleration but my top end has not gone down a bit !! Overall I am happy with the performance and tyre both.

      Regarding M45, its indeed a good tyre but the side walls aren't strong enough to use them as tubeless. Its better to use them as tubed which was not my preference. And regarding Pirelli SD, who told its light in weight ? Definitely not !! And its not worth the money u spend for Indian road conditions.

        Did you know that a tubeless once punctured,and repaired cannot be run at high speeds,and need to be changed ?...as per HH advice for ZMR tubeless tires...in ZMR user manual page 28.

            i have a pirelli sd on my rtr for over 10000 kms and its still got more than 50 % treads left so i think they will last 20-25 k kms . life also depends on usage , like i use front braking lot more + no burnouts /skids etc

                    Agree, but anyday tubeless has less risks when u get a puncture in some unknown road where u don't find any repair shops for miles..

                    You can easily fix punctures and regarding high speeds, put a tube into the tyre once u reach a safe zone.

                    Or other alternate approach is to get tube and fill it with slime liquid.

                      With one puncture we have lost the advantage of TL .....so why go for it ? just inquisitive.
                      You can fix a TL puncture by a DIY...but how do you inflate the tire ?you must carry a foot pump always or else,In this respect a TT and TL are in same league.

                      Or other alternate approach is to get tube and fill it with slime liquid.
                      Better alternative to fill with Puncture resist liquid widely marketed..

                      • Has anyone changed the Air filter to K&N? if yes how's it is performing?
                        Anyone has changed the engine oil to fully synthetic one? and if yes then which oil? i want to change it?
                        Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

                        • For all the speculations about tubeless tyres, please read the following article... quite informative... tubeless tyre can endure upto 25-30 punctures... stability of the bike depends upon the quality of repair and the position where puncture occured..

                          Did you notice any drop in mileage after changing your tyre?? Currently I'm getting 45+ in city conditions... Don't wanna lose that...

                            If that was the case why would companies give TL tyres ? To change tyres after every puncture ? I think HH is the first one to say tyres last only for one puncture. Practically speaking it can last longer.

                            Carrying a foot pump is no big deal on long tours, but removing tube and fixing the puncture is definitely a big deal. Moreover a TL can run several kms even with puncture but in TT without the so called gel, ull be big trouble.

                            I will anyday go for a TL.

                            A very good article. I think it answers most of the questions.

                                thnx for the info. but you sure the size 3.00 will be ok.
                                because i read few pages back that some tyre of size 3.00 makes noise above 50kmph.
