    Zapper FS is a front fitment tyre. its very good though..its my Apache's front tyre at present.

    There is no tubeless option for 18'' from MRF till date.

            i bought it a year back for Rs.1350/-(tyre & tube) in the MRF outlet....

            The grip is really really good in wet as well as muddy roads...
            I can actually say its a cheap alternative for a Michelin Sirac...

            and the big buttons are a real attention grabber..people will definitely come to you and inquire about the tyre...they will get more astonished that its a MRF tyre...

                    no sir.....!!!!!!!!!!!!

                    everything stopped,that "missing" at the low RPM,and the missing which used to happen at 7500 sometimes that also vanished after the change!!!!

                    the bike is more smooth throughout the rev range,is revving like dream and feels completely diff bike after the change...

                    go to the SC....
                    GET IT CHANGED ASAP......

                      Wonder how you are living with this tyre. The same tyre with 100/90 sec felt pretty heavy for an RTR and was taking cornor's lazily. I can imagine how 110/90 would be.

                      IMO if you dnt offroad much better to avoid this tyre!

                          AFAIK there is no 100/90-18 section of MRF meteor..

                          There is 110/90-18'' and 110/90-19'' for RE bullets!!....

                          You better check the MRF official Site.....

                          May be you saw a Dunlop Monster and got confused.....

                              he was probably talking about the ecu relay itself. ref page 18 of the service manual. the only thing that i know burnt on my bike was the resistor in the tail-light coupler wire.

                              1. It is running a much taller gearing making it a smoother power delivery in the lower rpms. The "vibe band" has also changed places as a result

                              2. I shifted to NGK Iridium plugs for the trip(Better combustion of richer mixture in altitudes, cold starts, as a backup option)

                              3. Using fully synth Petronas Sprinta for the past 3.5K kms. Filled it befrore the trip and its still running great!

                              4. It was opened up or rather conditioned in one of the best(read strenuous) trips/places possble!!!

                              Probably due to the above reasons, the engine which needs to have set/opened up to its full potential after around 15K kms has happened now.
                              So solution and conclusion: GET LEH'IED and ur bike might get really smooth!!!
                              cheers for the inputs. i'm planning a sprocket change and sprinta (5000?), but i doubt i can do a leh just yet!
