              • Sigh! R15 tyres are really scarce it seems! Why not take the opportunity to upgrade to wider tyres? Is the result really negative?

                      Abhi, If you take my word, the no need to worry about R15 tyres, it's best in his class. I drive high cornering in R15 at 70 KMPH, (high cornering mean, my shoe touch on road when I move my R15 left / right cornering) but i never feel loose grip on the road.

                              Here I would like to give my input of R15 behavior after 1st service. I change the engine MOTUL 5100 (15W50) after lot of reading on xBhp. Initally, I found that the gear become little harder and need to over streach to change, but after log drive to Pune- Nasik and back to Nasik-Pune (cover 500 KM), now bike become a very smooth, the firing, engine sound and clutch and gear become extra smooth which is much better before the 1st service.
                              Any Clue guys ?

                                Well.. Again writing why wider tyre is out of question is just out of question.
                                Overall..results are lesser positive and more negetive!!
