  • Hi! I want to replace the tires of my Karizma. Here are my requirements.

    I don't want to upsize my tyres.
    I want a tyre that will give me good grip on a straight road. I am not going lean at turns like those competition riders. :P Tire noise, its durability is not a concern.
    Any pointers to purchase tyres in Pune will be highly appreciated.

    FYI, the tyre size for Karizma is

    Tyre Size Front 2.75 x 18 -42P

    Tyre Size Rear 100/90 x 18 - 56P

    Can you help me please?

                          It was nice meeting you too though it was very short. Talking about the engine noise, we will need to meet again look into it. We can always meet during weekends. Ride safe.

                            though they picked the bike but when i blamed him for touching my accelreation stuff he simply ignored and there was quite nice exchange of words and some little bit of pushing and punching.
                            A very bad day for me yesterday
                            Which HH oil are you using now ? The tide-water made HH oil is working very good for me here at least for now in winter , available now in kolkata for 170 Rs/900ml bottle . 10w30 gulf is also available and very good but price is 230 Rs/900ml . Ultimately in summer months (from march) you'd need a 20w40 oil like the motul or gulf .. too hot for 10w30 to handle after that here IMHO .
                            Better get the battery fully charged externally (from exide shop) once monthly for the first 3-6 months . It needs this cycling/formatting to get to full capacity .
                            You did damn ryt to punch that guy .
