    I was in Pune till August'08 moced to mumbai since then after a short stint of 6 months in pune, had i knew this before would have definitely gone there...anyways i can still come to pune to get it serviced, can you gimme his contact number so that i can check if he is open on saturdays and sundays...and if you guys, allow me can i refer your's or inder's name to him once i m there...

      Pirelli lasts a very short period of time as it is of comparitively short time ma be some good 3-4 K kms...!!!


      And dont know abt Michelins...!! will have to check whether anyone using it....

      You can try the MRF Zappers in tubless category...i believe they are the best ones for the Indian conditions..


      Ok cool...but is it 100W one or 60W one..?

      Go to user's profile and out of the "Send Message" option select "Send a private message"..!!



      Anytime...



      I like the Barcelona team ..

      Thats a pretty good mileage which u are getting....

      p.s : i also get the same mileage but i fuel in with Power and now planning to shift to Shell 91 octane..!!

      true i believe pirelli are soft compound and dont last much in our conditions, will check MRF

      60, inder bhai

      ha ha good i love barcelona and Manchester United, even i if i plan a honeymoon i tend to think of going to camp nou and old trafford

      true, however my bike returns me around 38 constantly,though if thrashed it drops to any figure between 25-32

      i loved the Shell 91 but they increased the prices by 10rs a litre during price rise, haven't checked after the recent price drop.

              It could be an old ZMA, repainted and plastered with R sticker livery.

                Hopefully, else i will be jealous , it looked good. Well even another friend spotted a white ZMA, so could this be a coincidence that we spotted the same bike. Will check with the HH guys tomorrow on my way back home from office.

                  • Little Update From JM

                    Hi folks,

                    Hope all of u had a merry christmas and sure should have an excellent year ahead. I needed to share few things with everyone. Finally i got my bike serviced at creative, here is a list of things that i did to my bike.

                    1. As per the advice from all you guys got the fearing and other panels tightened and the machine is lot less noisier now.

                    2. I would seriously not take anything away from Power 1 Racing for reducing the overall noise and vibrations on the bike. i have done around 200 kms on it now and i am already impressed with the no nonsense behavior CP1R (forgive me for the acronym if its not widely accepted). The clutch is much smoother and the gears are way more slick n precise, despite that they never really had any trouble but yes i see the difference.
                    Throttle response is much better, although that could be due to the fact i got a decarb done this time.

                    3. Thanks to the valuable advice from inder & niranjan, got the tappets fixed and the noise has disappeared in thin air. Got new headlight bulb so it can see better now.

                    Now everything is fixed, at least it feels so now. All it needs is a new pair of footwear, looking for few options. Lets see, going to pune next weekend will try something there...any good places you guys know of?

                        Better stick to HH engine oil. It is really good. See my profile visitor message.

                          Make sure you didn't overtighten them.

                            Jonak, If you want to shift to Motul then you can shift to Motul Mineral based oil which is of grade 10W40 if i am not wrong..

                              It is 20W40. I found it is to be good, but I felt HH oil is very good than this.
                              Anyway, Jonak can try this if he wants to change.
