Lol, even I went through the same drama a couple of weeks back. Shifted to a higher profile 100/90 (Pulsar) tyre in the end. As long as youre complaining, be sure to mention that the service centres are adding an additional Rs 1000 to the price of the rear tyre taking the total to Rs 2500 .

And I am still waiting for a sensible reply for my third query. ie

3. Want to choose the ideal chain lubricant. I understand either we can use motul chain lube (or similar) or Yamalube dry type lubricant. Yamaha dry type I understand is very efficient,less likely to absorb dust and slime, last long but also is costly compared to motul. I live in kerala and from next month onward rains would be a daily affair. I have read fellow members writing Yamaha dry type last long only if its used in a relatively dry environment. considering the price factor and also considering i would be riding in lite to heavy rain once a week at least..wouldn't it require frequent cleaning and lubrication even if I use yamaha dry type lube? In that case would motul be a better choice considering almost 1000 Rs difference in the price? please advice...

I use the Motul chain clean and lube. Have put in a central stand to make my job easier. With the Mallu monsoons, the chain will need a lot of attention for sure. In Blore, if it rains I clean and lube the chain as frequently as once every 4 - 5 days depending on how bad it is. Havent used the dry lube but I have no complaints regarding the Motul products.

Is it possible to have a setup such that R15 have dual low beam and High beam. Current setup is low beam on the left and high on the right . Would like to have both the light lit for Low Beam . Any idea how to make it work ?

Am using the same setup. Improves your confidence while riding in the night a lot !

The bike is still working

and its still not lost its charm.

Recently changed my piston rings and a few more worn parts . the bike is like brand new.

Am lovin it

Piston rings changed at 30K only. Really I am surprised that a Yammie has eaten up the rings so early. How do you ride it?? Because getting the rings of a pure engineered machine is not a commuter's job.

hehe . my bike is one R&D bike

done too many things on it in the past and it has taken too much beating . Thats the reason the rings were changed . The rings were expensive but the compression i am getting now is worth it

Engine oils can be used for lubing. But never to use drained engine oil.

I had been using 20W50 valvoline semi synthetic for lubing my chain for some time, then shifted to 90~120 W gear oil for lubing the chain.

Havent had any problems, but for every track day, it requires lubing. I actually find the chain to be quite if we use heavy weight/viscosity oil

after going through your thread and wish that i was closer to bangy--
i was back from bombay and was pillion behind arn('zma) for commuting and once i was back and had to overtake a rick with a car gunning, i know i could do it, the mistake i made didn't go down the 'box(have went back to blip=downshift mode) but now its back to normal and the problem worsens after spins on a P-220/'zma

You changed the rings for the 165 set up or for the Stock set up ?
BTW, are the rings really expensive ? how much is that ?
