did you mean you put the FZ front tyre as the R15 rear?
i think you should go and talk to that guy and get your tyre replaced asap. the front tyre should ever be used as the rear and vice versa.even if they are of same size and profile they are not interchangable. so bro, get it fixed and get a replacement from the dealer.

Most people in tyre shops don't know about the difference. You HAVE to ask for Zapper S.
I was offered the FZ's front for my R1 at many shops. I reject it saying it is not the tyre I need. When someone insists it is the same and I should take it, I just say "aap ko malum nahin hai to pata kar lena... par yeh tyre aur R15 tyre mein bahot farakh hai."
BTW, looks like R15's tyres are not available in the market. If that is the case you are better off running with FZ's front than may be anything else made in India.

It's official!! I hit 150kmph on my stock R15 today...wow it has been a long wait and I guess that makes it that much sweeter. Not bad for a 150cc machine ehh?
The stretch right after the new Katraj tunnel coming towards Pune now has the R15's name written all over it
Cheers to Yamaha for making such an astonishing machine!
Watch my Baby R1 clock 148kmph at http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=cAHbYl...e=channel_page.

I suggest every r15 riders to have a g2g at their respective states Yamaha regional office,maybe do a gherao
.I think seeing all helmet and jacket clad aliens together would give the reg manager a massive heart attack.

Originally posted by velociraptor13 View Posttires,r15 rear tires availability
only 6400 kms done, but am getting scared already, should start scouting (and stocking) the nearest options then..Originally posted by Baloo.Mech View PostIs MRF manufacturing only for factory bikes or yamaha purchased tires in a big lot?
Situation is messy as there not many decent alternatives for R15 tires...
Any good alternatives for stock tires?
Hyd guys please let me know if you find them anywhere. Best to take a pair and keep them at home.
Yesterday KP anna checked my brake pads and told me I'm in for a change by 7000 kms on odo. I think this is too early. I do use engine braking quite a lot just so I could avoid wearing the pads out, but still...
Also, the grooves on my front disc are quite pronounced, I cleaned the brake pads and disc with water spray soon as Sarvajit suggested. Has this formation of grooves happened with you guys too? What could be the culprit.. sand particles trapped in the pad or something?
Please clarify ..
