Zapper C or Zapper Q or ZAPPER Y ...Whats the diff. between these three in terms of others except thread pattern? am in great dilemma which one to choose for my APACHE 150 which has profile as mentioned in manual

FRONT : 90/90 x 17
REAR : 90/90 x 18 (or) 100/80 x 18

My concerns are flickability, pickup, better cornering, Wet braking as well as somewhat better grip in non tarmac...

So plz do the need for me guys for the rear tyre alone

I don't know about Zapper C or Zapper Q but the Zapper Y absolutely sucks when it comes to grip. Its just about ok when it comes to tarmac, but any other condition like wet road, bit of gravel, hard braking, etc... and you'll know what I'm talking about. Fishtails really well on hard braking...

Zapper C and Q are gonna be your best bet. My baby is back from the service and feels great. The guys at the local shop did a bang up job, and guess what the brake noise is gone!

rev "power" limit of FI.....

off late i noticed that after changing the injection unit of my bike (silver one) the power band is available to 10100-10200 after that thr's no pulling and the bike revs unnecessarily...

earlier with the old injector unit (black one) it used to show the "pull" till 11200...

Now the chain is shiny again....

Where did you get it and for how much?

Is it a spray? How do you apply it to the chain?

Well , firstly , as the RTR has naked chain , my chain had got dirty with all dust , mud , grime particles. Also as the svc had oiled it in 2nd free service...So it attracted a lot of mud due to rains....
So Just spray the MOTUL Chain Clean on the chain evenly , And wait for 15 Mins. Then i took an old toothbrush , and brushed the chain lightly . Then , using a cloth I cleaned the chain . There itself the chain became shiny and , all the mud / grime had fallen off the chain , and original grey color of the chain could be seen.

Then after, Spray the MOTUL chain lube evenly . And wait for another 15 mins.Its Done !! Then Take the bike for a spin

I didnt notice any performance difference , but yes , you do feel great when you see the chain shining

and free from mud..

Thank God, that the new injector solves all the old typical RTR issues and ur complaining of bike not pulling beyond 10K...

Learn to ride sedately and let the poor damn engine live longer!!!

Problem:
Carbon deposition in the spark plug, low fuel efficiency (35 kmpl)

Parts replaced under warranty:
1. Head
2. Valves
3. Cam (lob+ shaft+ bearings)
4. Carburetor
5. CDI
6. Spark Plug
7. Spark Plug Cap
8. Timing Chain Tensioner.

Result:
Not solved yet, same carbon deposition, but it becomes dry from wet now.

Further Testing:
May be the whole engine

Verdict:
Service provided by TVS is very fast, and they really took care of the complain, but unable to solve the problem, poor diagnosis.

Quite expected!! Its a 55W. Am using it... The reflector is handling it till now. The battery charging will be a bit slow and it will affect the horn, speedo etc. Other than its fine.

Mera bike completed 35,000 kms today! This is after 20months and 10days after its purchase! (the day before today my HH CBR 100RR completed 1,00,000kms

)

Pssst.....Odo meter shows only 20,000kms

its time for service as well but i guess it will be delayed by a good 20-30days, thats 1000-1500kms
