    Agreed it looks thinner but so far the grip is decent and seems like it holds corners pretty well too.

    After using the tyre for about 2K Kms, I can say that the tyre is not bad. But 220 owners can avoid this since the profile is not that great.

    Better stick to stock Zapper FS if you have to decide between the FQ and FS.

    Straightline grip is adequate, it looses composure a little too easily at times. And while it holds up decently well enough on corners, the width is less and does not offer scope to lean more. I was at the edges of the tyre, with fairly regular type of leaning, and it did not inspire confidence to go any further.

    Hunt for a suitable replacement for the Sirac rear still continues ...

    Thanks for your quick response. I have also visited AutoService for servicing last time. Rather that was also happened to be my first visit. Overall experience was good at least better than any Bajaj Servicing centers. But there also I found lack of parts like Fuel Pump. Can you please share the name of your Servicing Mechanic? And if you do not mind asking you about your next visit to AutoService so that I can also try to schedule a visit and have a discussion on how to keep my FI healthy.
    Hahaha, I was sitting in Autoservice when I posted my last reply

    Fuel pump is a slow moving part, any PBK will take time to order and procure it. For me it was a waiting period of almost 3 weeks for the fuel pump.

    Ideally you should look for a mech close to where you are put up. I have one guy in Arekere, he's OK with the mechanicals, but I don't trust him with electrical/electronic stuff.

    Can you suggest any good mechanics in Bangalore?
    For mechanical bits I go to local mechanics, but for electronics/tuning/fuel pump I go to PBK (AutoService, Banashankari)

    Yes I've sent and got excellent response... 5-7 years back.

    The Fi went out of production 4 years back, you should be happy that at least Bajaj still is agreeing to service an out of production bike.

    Finally Monday I am taking my bike for service its completed 3K kms.

    Time to change Engine Oil i checked couple of previous posts and found 300V or 5100 is recommended by you please suggest which is the best according to you where can i buy it in bangalore.

    I've completed 23Kms with these stock tyres and that will also get changed on monday which are the best right now ? where can i buy them here in blore ?

    What is your take on CDI unit for this bike ?

    How much quantity oil should i refill ?
    300V is the best I have used till date, but over the past few years its become freakin expensive. So I use 5100 as its more VFM. JC road there are plenty of shops which sell Motul, in fact most Bajaj SVC centres also stock motul now.

    Tyres again JC road is your place. Stick to stock if your are mostly riding in city.

    Why CDI?

    You will need to refill anywhere from 1100-1300ml of oil. So you need to buy minimum 2 cans of 1ltr.
