Sure dude ...

congratulations.. prabhakar anna was telling that u are taking 220 dtsi.. how come 220 fi?

nuvvu chala great.. (u are very great)

+1..

yes, the weight has no significance.. this is possible if we run super bikes..
for example, when i was riding doubles, i was able to hit 132 on speedo once... i stayed on that mark for over a half kilometer.. our weight was 65+60.. on a downslope we did 134, but only for a split second.. we couldnt cross 132 though we were fully crouched.. another time when we were riding doubles, i could hit only 127.. we were 65+90.. i think weight does really matter on our puny bikes..

well, think like this.. its better to discuss something and put our brain to work rather than sitting idle (in my case )...

iam not that rich.. my parents earn enough so that we can lead a problem free life.. since they stay abroad, i dont get to see the hardships faced by them.. and i guess u pretty well know them..

+1.. iam looking forward to an entry level sports bike, like baby ninja, when iam financially independent.. i cannot afford anything more than that atleast for the next 10 years...

Anyone experimented with front tyres apart from stock?

I am looking a change for my tyres, they are not totally worn out but in gravel and wet they are giving way under hard braking.

I was considering more 'grippier' options but I don't feel like paying to hefty a premium for a front tyre.

Anyone tried the FZ front tyre?

Ask Kevin.

Thanx rahul, ya, initially we thought of taking dtsi (Fastest Indian), which bajaj claimed higher top speed than the dts-fi, but for better roll-ons & acceleration in the 5 to 8k rpm range, no bike beats the dts-fi. and this bike is purchased specifically to do the IBA run which we'r planning in the coming months (if the monsoon permits ). The dtsi is actually tall geared to achieve the claimed top speed so we thought its useless for our purpose which needs good roll-on acceleration.

i have seen a p220 with FZ front tyre today. also one with R15 rear tyre.. they were looking fine.. but no idea of the grip provided as the owners were not available.. u said u'll go for stock 220 dtsi ones..

exactly..

I have bought FZ's front tyre to replace P220's front today... Got it for 1350 , bit high but its very difficult to get it in Pune ...

Its 100/80 R17 Nylogrip Zapper - FX , I went for it on Kevins advise only...
Cant provide feedback right now because m not able to ride the bike for 45 days atleast...

guys please help.....

2600km on odo a strange "tuck tuck" sound is coming from around sprocket area....
it only sounds when i change gear and release clutch or when i accelerate suddenly....
first i thought it was chain. but it is tight enough.....
can anyone tell me what is reason behind it and how to rectify it....

thanks..

if your looking for a good tyre with good amount then why not go for R15's front. 80/90...I'm using it with Vyde and the bike feels completely in control. Even its good on wet surface as compared to others.
here in delhi
at mrf showrroms its for rs.1100
at a tyre shop for rs.900 -(200) for old tyre exchange- 50(xbhp)=rs.650/-

there is another one of IRC (the flame design) for rs.1300/-...my frnd using it and he totaly happy with it.
No idea about fz's front
choice is yours.

for the r15 tyre what is the speedo error cause there is quite a big diffrence in the tyres height compared to the stock tyre,
irc tyre here in mumbai costs 2600

I find no difference in speed at any rpms....no speed error!!
and the tyre is just 80/90 as compared 90/90 default...thas a very minor difference..soo there wont be an speedo error

cause the profile hieght if the r15 tyre is 72 mm while that of the stock tyre is 81 mm the fz tyre comes close to the tyre hieght with 80 mm so i thought there might be speedo error

^^^^
yea even I heard about the error thing...but I don't find any difference on the speedo meter on my p200..not at all...
but in the end you need a good tyre with a good grip and this tyre serves the purpose.
Although I'm very much scared while leaning during the rainy days but I've seen some pics of R15 doing stoppies in the rain, so from that I can judge it may be good for rainy season.
But for the normal conditions, this tyre suits our bike completely.

^^^ thanks for the info man
