    Sure. I will change the rear tyre to Michelin Sirac street today and post my review after the first ride. Having said that the tyre will behave better after the completion of 2k kms, I'll be careful applying the brakes.

            Reduce the pressure to ~32 as informed earlier and see if it improves. Good luck.

                            M45 itself isn't available, I think production has stopped.

                              Changed the stock MRF zapper Y to Michelin Sirac Street today. Also replaced the stock Champion Power spark plug to NGK Iridium DPR8EIX-9 as it hasn't been changed for over 20k kms.

                              Spark plug is found rusted, though I haven't experienced any ignition problems.

                              Looks it was overused. Not sure why there was no impact when starting the bike.

                              And the winter just started, having said that the Sirac doesn't perform well on wet slippery roads, I have started following a few steps to prevent fishtailing.

                              Will share the short term and long term riding experience with the Sirac.

                                My friend who also owns a Karizma R changes engine oil at manual's recommended 6000Kms

                                Is 6000km interval safe?

                                I have asked him to change the frequency to at least 2500-3000kms.

                                I personally follow 2500km rule.
