Should be in the pulsar thread bro! ofcourse it has out sold the R15, it's around 25k cheaper, as for the cbr, it's only been launched recently and is almost double the price, so not really a comparison.Originally posted by raman sriharsha View PostBeware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

Originally posted by shrinathrao View PostThe R15 tubeless tyres are really tension free tyres. Yest morning started from home felt the front tyre air pressure is less so thought of checking the air pressure, but due to heavy rains none was coming out of their shop, so went on riding to my friends place which is good 25 kms stretch and showed the front tyre only to realize that the front tyre had 2 punctures. I was riding slow with speeds hitting around 50 but i never felt the front tyre loosing ground or something else. Really the MRF stock tyres will not leave you dangling in case of emergency.
I agree. I rode last evening with low air and checked the tyre pressure in the morning at home. I was a bit concerned to find that rear tyre was loosing air (28 PSi). Later in the afternoon when I got the tyre inspected, I was surprised to find 2 punctures. Still it was not flat.
I faced only 3 punctures in the rear tyre for last 1.5 years, irrespective of numerous offroading trips.
Just wondering , what's the life of Front and Rear tyres. My bike has done around 15k Kms and is 1.5 years old. I am planning for Hyd-Bangalore trip in the first week of July. Is it ok to continue with current set of tyres or get the new ones before the trip?

If the tyres are still grippy, and the treads are still reasonably deep, ur good to go. Change the tyres only once you feel they're slipping/skidding.Originally posted by Juris View PostI agree.

Tyre threading is decent if not very good. And Tyres perform pretty well in corners too. However, at times hard braking gives a feeling of rear tyre skidding.Originally posted by shrinathrao View PostWhats the status of the tyre treading?

Hey Logan check for engine mount and swingarm bolts for looseness, even a dry and squeaking chain causes vibrations a bit. And observe carefully as in what sense you feeling the vibrations and be a bit more clear it will help us to diagnose and help you to rectifyOriginally posted by AKAlOgAN View PostTo : Experts
Guys recently I am feeling a lot of vibrations on my bike, including the foot pegs and the tank. What do you think may be causing this . My bike is only 4.6K KM old.
Please help me , as I am really concerned


Well IMHO, I think whenever you feel you are loosing concentration due to any unwanted scenario, just come back to basics. Ride a bit slow and ride the bike as if you were riding it for the first time, keeping all parameters in your mind and try to focus. Once you get habitual with it, you will overcome your this problem broOriginally posted by jairaman12 View PostGuys...I need help with something.

Everybody does through this infact experience bikers too except how serious & close the ENCOUNTERs are..so don't worry..you are not the only one. Wear protective gear..at least a good full face helmet..do not try to drive at the speeds which makes you uncomfortable...the sole purpose of the bike is to take you to the desired place safely..(unless you are a MotoGP or stunt rider)...so even if you ride at 50kms/hr (drive in slow lane) so be it...at least for now...take a break whenever you feel uncomfortable...gather yourself...even then this feeling scares you then try to ride in a group..not with pillion...& yes try to go through the posts in this forum on safe riding, also there are tons of videos on Google & you tube about safe riding check out those & learn....will boost you confidence a bit...Last edited by abhijitkn; 06-07-2011, 12:25 AM.

Take it easy bro and relax. Go slow initially and learn to enjoy each ride , dont take a ride as a challenge or a task.Originally posted by jairaman12 View PostGuys...I need help with something.
