Not too bad for the rider but if you'll be stuck between 5500-6000RPm for 5 mins your hand could go numb.

Had given bike to replace the meter today. Will get it back in evening.Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post
Y'day inquired for it in MRF showroom, and the price quoted was a bit high than my expectation.Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post
90/90 Zapper FS : Rs.1550
FZ's front looked bloody chunkier for RTR. : Rs.1750
Moreover it feels like a cruiser tyre more than sports. What effect will it impart on cornering and nimble handling of RTR?
FZ's 100/80 profile with 52 ply almost matched for rear fitting. I think stock is 46 ply, and Z-FS is 49 ply.
Also, I had seen IRC's tyres as stock tyres in 220 DTSi. Will check out those too if available.Yes....

That's a radial tyre and is of soft compound, it will do wonders in cornering and grip levels.Originally posted by indianz_alive View PostThe Magician"

hey am using FZ (zapper fx)front tyre from past 4-5k kms but i didnt find any problem with 100/80 front . And it is better than stock tire in corners,straight line drag and even on brking part bike felt lil bit more stable thn stock tire . yea in the beginning i faced some issue but that was because of wrong fitting.Originally posted by indianz_alive View Post

i am on stock tyres on my FI, and i have faced traction loss in 3 conditions
a. Office basements, which has a shiny cement flooring. The tyres always lose traction when i take a turn at anything more than 15kmph
b. Slightly sandy. Have faced many curves, where there are slight traces of sand. and when cornering in these turns, i can feel the rear tyres moving side ways
c. Gravel.. not experienced very frequently, but when faced, its really irritating. its like the gravels keep pushing the bike sideways. Why dont the tyres just go over the gravels?
will changing tyre solve these problems?Comment

The three surfaces you've mentioned will make slicks slip too.(specially that sand and gravel)Originally posted by Tron05 View Post
But still changing the tyre (TVS) with MRF will make things real good, specially when you'll be putting that knee down.
I have problem with TVS tyres in wet and in extreme lean, when those sidewalls gets to work, and they squeal a lot specially the front in braking, otherwise in summers on a "DAMAR" road they are pretty good.The Magician"

Bugger SVC peopleHad given bike to replace the meter today. Will get it back in evening.
In morning I confirmed from store about availability of RTRFi's Meter.
They had one. Now I inquired about the progress, they said, "the spare meter was also faulty. You please place an order for your meter. It'll take 2~3 days for bill clearance and another 7 days to ship".
Some mechanic was saying on phone "Meter ki garari gayi, baaki meter theek hai".
Now will have to bear with faulty meter for few more days...
Yes....

At first i thought the r15's tyres were radials. then someone told me it's only the fz. then i learnt that only the rear is a radial. What could be the decision for only the fz rear being radial? why not on the r15 which is more of a performance bike than the fz? is it because the fz rear is super wide?Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post
