The guy fixing the tire says, its an issue with the tire. Am afraid if the rim cud have been affected. Any one faced this issue before?

            I got the tire from MAS tires, Chennai about a month ago!
            Whats the price of the tyres man. And where is MAS tyres located

                  Direct fit.

                  There are -

                  - Front fork stabilizer ( clamps between the front forks above the mudguard
                  - bigger disc brake
                  - Rear sets
                  - Racing levers
                  - Some high performance CDI/ ignition coil.
                  - 162cc bore kit
                  - Racing filter
                  - HIgh lift cam
                  - Racing exhaust ( many kinds).

                  and a few others. I dunno how many are actually beneficial.

                  Though there is one specific part that i might be looking at getting for myself

                  - Racing type swingarm ( similar to R1 etc). this should be around ~ 12-13k landed here.

                  here are a few pics

                  Kool..but guess only the swingarm, without the rear wheel+tyre for 13K is a bomb..instead for the same price what about the following package in Delhi + open range for haggling as well?

                          Well i would differ with you on this slightly. I am 6feet 2in. One won't feel cramped on it coz the fairing molds in such a way that it provides a natural flow without there being any obstruction. However, the problem comes when you are sitting on the bike when its stand still or when you are standing next to it. Then the dimension differences come into picture and you feel the bike is pretty small.
                          That's what i've experienced in my riding of R15 so far.

                            what about the riding experience is it worth it (for a tall person ).. i have already booked a zmr the waiting period is 6 months ... so is it worth switching to the r15..?i really love the bike the only reason i did not book it is cause of my dimensions..cause people tld me that it feels uncomfortable and all.are u facing any problems??

                                I'm not tall but definitely bulky, but the R15 takes everything in stride, even I stick my fat rear out when leaning (along with other required body parts) and it feels so stable, confidence inspiring, smooth and sure.
