Hey Ashwin, 3.00/90/18 is bigger than stock size. Can you please post a front view pic ?

They are coming up with something better

Though this is not Sirac Street 3.00-18. This is a pic of my Zapper 3.00-18(rear tyre of a Splendor) front and M45 4.00-18 rear. The zapper caused uneven wear out, Handling became pathetic. So had to change to 80/100-18. If the query about the size, 3.00-18 is a direct fit and no touching the fender problem. 3.25-18(M45 tried)touches the front fender.

Front 3.00-18

What you should worry about is the P220 piston Crown height....and how you are going to tame it...Contact ACS for the solution

Yes i remember you telling me this before. i just wanted to see how it looks from front on the ZMA

Bought the same bulb a week ago from JC Road, Bangalore. Cost me Rs. 450, but havent been able to get a headlight relay. So probably will go to JC road again today just for the relay/other items for relay installation. Below is my shopping list (copied from one of the previous posts here). But I'm not too confident that the shop guys will be able to understand my noobish wordings and give me all these. Getting the relay installed with a local mech will be another challenge. Oh well..

I concur. I guess ZMA reflector costs around Rs. 800/-, which is not too bad considering one might have to change the relay once in 2 or 3 years.

^ +1!

Front - Michelin Sirac Street (3.00/90/18)
Rear - Dunlop Monster Trail (110/90/18)

Total (Including cost of tube and labor) => 4550/-

Could we have a shot of the tread pattern of the Dunlop Monster Trail please?

Code:

A relay+ coupler 120rs
4-5 meters of higher gauze wire 30-50rs
2 ring clips 1-2rs
2 piano clips(male) 1-2rs
1 fuse box and a fuse 20-30rs

Where do you stay in Bangalore bro? Probably I can help you with the relay and stuff. Bought one from JC road and installed it by myself with the guidance of gurus here on the forum..

Also, before spending a bomb on the reflector from the showroom, head to Gujiri in Shivaji Nagar. I got one almost new headlight from there for 200 bucks! After hard bargaining of course..

Dunlop Monster Trail 110-90-18 thread


Dunlop Mystery 2.75-18 alongside Dunlop Monster Trail 110/90-18

problem got solved,its was due to weak clutch plates and pressure plates.some snaps of clutch and pressure plate.

parts replaced-
clutch disc set-Rs.1467
pressure plate-Rs.167
Clutch centre-Rs.187
gasket oil filter rotor-Rs.5
cant found gulf pride,got honda oil10w30
PS.after clutch dismantled it requred 1.2litre oil

You mean something like this?



If yes then how to we fix it? Where to be specific. It'd be real helpful if you could provide an image or something similar.



Apologies for the trouble, I know there are many capable mech's, but for some reason when it comes to my ride, I dont trust anyone other than myself.

Actually sir am not going to opt for the P220 piston, I'm going to opt for another piston with the same gudgeon pin size, hence the reason I mentioned P220. And AFAIK, plonking the piston in is the easiest part, i.e since am planning on shaving off the crown till its flat, like ZMA's stock piston. Anyways its a long term project, just hoping it goes well.

Thanks for the update

Thanks for the pics blACk_pANthER

My rides are normally short ones and even if the bulb causes heat build up it doesn't get enough time for it I guess . There is a slight blurring on the reflector which I can live with .
The throw is much better now , but I don't particularly like it's 'whiteness' . But will hang on to it for now .

BTW , if you're not using relay , is the full 55W being used by the bulb ? I mean is stock wiring capable of supplying 55 W to the bulb ? A side by side comparo with a bike which has relay might put the doubt to rest .
Sir , it's true I have not posted a full review post the 235 upgrade , but most of the observations have been posted at one time or another .

I'm not into drag so can't say about 'off the block' effect .
The power has increased , but it's more obvious in the higher rpm range . Post 4k rpm it starts pushing out power in a linear manner and the surge is addictive - I ride above 4k rpm most of the time in 3rd,4th and 5th gear .
I haven't gone WOT . The max rpm was @ 7250 rpm on a narrow road (20 feet wide) , around 600 meters long. Am waiting for the next 'HARTAL' to go to the highway . Since the speedo is optimistic , I look at the tacho when I'm going in high speed .
Would you say my engine efficiency has increased? "Cause I'm not getting the 'rpm X .015' thing correct - at 4k rpm the bike speedo will be showing @ 67 kmph . Earlier there was only a slight difference in the ratio , now it's way off mark .
Mileage is what's confusing me . I think my fuel tap has clogged since my observations show I'm getting @ 30 kmpl for some fillings and 38 for others . My last petrol filling was 28 km ago . I filled in 50/- worth of petrol which was 720 ml ( normally I fill 2.88L for 200/- or 1.44 for 100/- . Changed to 50/- filling to check the mileage ) So now I'm getting 38 kmpl and running .. Since my riding is in RAYP mode , that's not an accurate indicator . I'm just not willing to sacrifice my pleasure of riding for economy . Anyway the mileage is not lesser than what I had before the upgrade .

One aspect I've noticed is the vibes are more (slightly more) pronounced than before . It isn't disturbing or anything , but it is there . It feels more like a beast about to pounce now .
There was a slight oil leakage problem from the head , but it's been taken care of now .

All in all , I'm pretty satisfied . Actually I didn't do it to out run others ., In a mallu film there's a dialogue "sadhanam kayyilundu" meaning I have it . The thought 'if it can be done , then why not' is what took me to up-size .
Ashwin , I guess your doubts must've been cleared by now , any way here are the pics .


Oops I forgot to resize some files .

Anyway Ashwin , see the skirt on the cylinder - I think any oversizing should be done within that size . My tech-knowledge about that is worse than my knowledge about the Chinese language , so I hope some body else can elaborate on that .
Some companies make relay wiring kit , but most comes for 2 headlights ( for 4 wheelers) . I got one of Bosch and used one relay !!
Guess you got the answer from the pics I posted above .

Shaving the crown till it's flat will lessen it's thickness .

Accident

Couple of days back I had a small accident .
The light just turned when I reached the traffic lights and rather than wait one minute for it to turn green I took the 'free left turn' option to go through another road . I was going @ 60-70 kmph . Another bike was in front of me . He slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road and there wasn't enough time for me to react . I slammed into his left side and my leg would've taken the brunt of the crash if not for my crash guard . It turned 90 degreesand took off the other guy's rear foot rest .
The reason he braked was that there was a Police check point for helmet violations a couple of hundred feet in front . The funny thing was he'd braked right in front of the Traffic Police Station . One guy came from the Station and immediately started bashing him verbally - he'd seen the whole thing .The Pulsar guy should've paid the fine of 100/- now he has to re-imburse the cost of the crash guard - which isn't available anywhere !!
Any one has any idea which is the next suitable crash guard after the Stunner one ?


The aux light is a Hella . Currently it's just for show off even though it works , but I want it there as an emergency resource .

Sorry to hear about the incident. Hope you are o.k. Just a thought . cbz c.g may fix ..Last month I had asked at Focuz auto. and they quoted 650/- ph. no. 0484-2337988 just check whether they are in kannur.
