      I have never heard of any 4 electrode plugs available in India for Indian bikes.

        It used to come in the Kinetic Honda scoot (CHAMPION), so i thought may be it's available for bikes too.

          Well, there was a range of 4-electrode Spark plugs from Bosch displayed in this year's Auto Expo. Will check at home if any info was given in any catalog or something...

          Check this out:

          Yes....

          • AFAIK, 4-electrode plugs are for cars!

              I have one question Sir, will it provide more spark as such and will last good?

              • My victor's rear tyre is due for change now. I am planning to fit my RTR's 100/90-18 Geo cruiser on it and Putting in Zapper-Q on RTR. But I am skeptical about fitting geo cruiser on victor. I think it will rub on chain guard. Lets see whether it work or not.
                @Chicane: Can you give some inputs on this?

                  I think it wont, try putting the tyre in there, and see.

                    For the victor, a 3.00" or max 90/90 is ideal. Any more is overkill and will rob performance and mileage without any additional gain in grip. Go for a zapper-c in 3.00".

                    p.s. Apar, how about a mid-term update on your new rear? rains are coming close, i'm now thinking of getting a good 90/90-18 tyre. this will have a sidewall height of 81mm which is very close to the 80mm of the stock 100/80-18. and if it's a good tyre like the C, 90mm width should provide enough traction. Otherwise i might switch to the Y from the ZMR. Third and last option is a C in 3.00-80. I'm confident about the grip it will provide, only the looks will suffer. Don't really have the budget to switch to a 17" rim.

                      Why dont you fit the ZMA's Zapper-Y. Last week i was riding a 160 fitted with that tyre and it was performing really well. Ride height has increased slightly and the rear feels more communicative, now.

                        Sorry Julian, ages since I rode the RTR. Sticking the R15 nowadays and loaded with work as well Let me see if I can sneak a ride this weekend.

                          Drop in performance is not an issue. But let it be. I have changed my mind from zapper-Q right now for RTR. Will plonk in Zapper C 3.00*18 on Victor.

                            Why dont you check the Q, it has super grip both wet and dry.

                            • The Q seems to be the only tyre on the mrf site in 90/90-18". But both 'exclusive' mrf dealers near my place don't have it. In fact they say there's no 90/90-18 tyre at all.

                              • Zapper Q 90/90-18 is an excellent tyre. Very light (it is only 3 mm more wider than 3"-18). Very grippy. Adequate performance in wet also. Currently doing duty on my bike for more than 1 year. Rarest of tyres in availability. Might have to bribe the local head stockist to get the tyre, that too if it is available.
