    I was removing the cloth to clean the bike and accidently touched the spark plug wire, I got a mild shock ! Is the spark plug wire supposed to produce mild electric shock ?

      Btw, on the mrf website says zapper C comes in only two sizes (2.75" and 3.00") for 18" rims.
      I searched for seome info and found this post in the search. Now according to the info tabulated, 2.75/3" roughly converts to 80-90mm.... which is too skinny. If what i have concluded is true then i would have no choice but to go with zapper Q.
      Am i right?
      guys? anyone?

        Zapper Q tyre is made of soft compound so griping on wet surface is good.
        if you go by review some one say it is good some one say it is bad.

        lot of things depends upon riders braking ability. if you do not know proper braking then no tyre is good for you.

        please check the tyre pattern of zapper Q , long , deep and wider trade

        while hard braking it provided excellent traction and wider and deeper trade provides better water resource management on wet surface.

        go with zapper Q

        Other than this all imported tyre like PSD, Michelin , IRC
        you wonot get the rear tyre of same size if check the tyre details then all are for front.

        is it wise to fit the tyre which is designed for front.

        you will get rear one above 120-80/18.

            Guys, how do I bring about the matte grey finish of the motorcycle back to the brand new look? Its polishing for every other color I have seen. How do I maintain the matte look? (Maintanence tips and not "nothing-will-happen-to-this-color!" )

                    for matt finish you can use motomaks dash board polish........... gives quite good looks to matt portions of the bike even you can apply on the tyres

                      The dash board polish won't do in case of the matt paint he's reffering to, IMO. The matt you said (the black parts like crash guard etc, most probably) is a totally different story from the the paint body paint of the bike, bro

                            The local ones cost around Rs.1100-1200 I guess but the OEM one cost around 2.2k something!

                            A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

                                Well, I was referring to the tank part of the bike actually and the rear part of the bike (below the seats etc.)
