    I am using Pirelli SD 110/90 18 in my zeema without any linkage rod bending, there is enof gap which let the wheel revolve freely

    @All Any idea about Sirac Street? I heard it is dual purpose (city and offroading).
    Man...go bash them hard!!!
    Are you going to change your tyre as soon as you get your bike .
    Keep Pirelli as an option, costs a bomb but worth every penny.
    OT: I changed my clutch plate recently and the svc guy said I have to change my clutch housing as well. It was out of stock .
    My friends are running ZMA on stock clutch plates for 40-42k kms and I had to change it in 34k
    Total major replacements:
    Chain sprocket: first at 12k, 2nd at 25k to P220 setup
    Disk pad setup: first at 15k, 2nd at 34k
    Clutch plate: 34k

      Guys need your help here. As for my previous post about the power dip, I got the bike serviced and the felt much better and the issues seemed to have been resolved. But after a 100km ride yesterday things dint look good. Looks like the power dip has now shifted to around 100kmph or could be at around 7000rpm in fifth gear. Dont know whats happening. Its really frustrating to ride wid such problem.
      Do advice on what could be the reason.
      Check and change the air filter if it is clogged, and take a look at the spark plug...If your present plug is champion or you had used it more than 10 K kms please change it...you can also try side gaping the old plug to get better acceleration.......how much on ODO ?

                This is no great mod...it is as old as my grand father...just that it had not been shared .Now we get surface gap plugs which are superior to this ...but where surface gap plugs to the required specs are not available, this mod is the alternate...........like in my ZMA with NGK plug with 22 K of use and still doing well with side gapping........like Acetone in petrol....like Boric Acid in Engine oil....like 2T oil with PIB mixed in Petrol....Many innovations have already been done by forefathers,and we are just scraping the surface now.

                  Have you done the side gapping in NGK iridium or the stock spark plug ?
                  Very nice info Man!!! After reading that I am tempted to try out a DIY

                  I am running on NGK iridium from last 30k kms.

                      It was on a 22K kms run NGK DPR-8-EA Stock. doing it on Iridium not advisable.Even on the stock plug be prepared to change early as 5 to 6 k Kms since the sparks will eat away the electrode...here is the pic of the plug..

                        Okey...I will get a stock plug, do the necessery changes and put it for few kms. Let me check if the new side gapped stock plug gives better performance than the old iridium plug
                        Will keep you posted
