    Put in a Michellin Pilot sporty ( same size as stock) Michellin m45 ( around 104 on size )or Pirelli sport demon, m45 is lighter than pirelli. definitely bettter grip

    Incase u fit K&N, then you need to do jetting, to increase fuel intake.
    the karizma jets are expensive.

    Since u got a used bike, change engine oil,decarb it, and change clutch and acceletor cables for smooth movement.
    Is the Michelin Pilot available in stock size? Their site shows the minimum size as 120 at the rear. Anyway what is its price bro?

      • I have recently got the M45 (4.00-18) and was told that its equivalent to 110/90-18.The supplier also gave me a tube for the same size.

        I have been in doubt ever since that is 4.00-18 equivalent to 110 or 120.

          Thanks for the info.
          Is it available in 3.00*18 front and 110/90*18 for rear.
          I was thinking to upgrade my zappers to a soft compound.
          Wat about Pirelli sport Demon?

                      I am no expert and just giving my opinion.
                      The problem may be due to delicate run-in..
                      1.During run-in and later do u ride most of the time in 5 gear at speeds near 60?
                      2.Dose your bike turns smooth after 60 and above speeds?
                      If yes than maybe your lower gears are not properly run-in giving you a tight feeling.Suggest you to ride in all gears and ranging rpm for a while and note the difference.Ask a friend to have a ride before and after you do this,your combined experiences will make things clear.An oil change after this will also be good.
                      Again just my opinion .Please correct me if am wrong.
                      Looking at your 13k+ odo reading I may be wrong.

                          Try Shell... that will give you better performance than others.......

                          • shell advance s is a bit heavy and does not make the bike free revving but try fast trac for your bike if is from the older lot.

                            • After receiving my Karizma R one week earlier i found that There was some alignment problem..I think is wheel is faulty.. Bike is shaking.. during driving..

                              i show the bike to service center they say.. Front wheel has this problem and I have to wait till 4000KM as MRF company warranty starts after 4000KM and than I can apply for warranty and can change Tyre.. Is it true and also I have to wait till 4000KM!

                              Any thoughts on this?
