    Here is a drawing of the Axis of the front wheel with respect to T stem. Any deviation from normal will actually lead to the wheel going to the left or right and wheel will not seat on the road at RIGHT angle(90 degrees)...this will lead to bike dragging to one side and tire will also wear out on one side.

          • My rearwheels make a small tuk tuk sound while rotating freely(in sidestand) . And the front wheels are not rotating freely( the discpads are slightly touching the discs with a small 'sss' sound. It doesn't make so much resistance for tyre rotation but the tyre is not Freely rotating. Is it ok or should i correct it?

              Its perfect, dont worry unless, your disc pads are causing the front wheel to stop rotating VERY quickly.

                How did you rotate your rear wheel in side stand?

                A small noise is common as the disc pads stay closer to the disk!

                • I am looking for branded hid like philips or osram , 4100k colour temp, solenoid type for karizma R. Where can i buy and install in bangalore ? I can only find chinese type everywhere. Please shed light on this if anyone has installed this on karizma.

                  Also i am looking to fit slightly broader tyres on rear wheel. Will 120/80 r18 ceat vertigo rage be a direct fit. I do not wish to remove the chain guard.
                  Ideally i think 110/80 r18 is a better upsize but unable to find tyres in this size in bangalore. On the front i have 90/90 r18 mrf zapper fs and i am pretty satisfied with it.

                      I don't think 120 will be a direct fit,You have to bend the linkage rod for anything more than the stock tire size and also you can fit M45 with your chain guard,But i am sure,you will have to remove the chain guard if you are going to fit 120 sized tire

                            I had this same question, however, I would not hesitate to try, however, will not compare with CBR250R, as we have not see their electrical system.
