    By wrong direction i mean that, as you know on the tyres there is a direction drawn as to how it should rotate when the bike moves, and it was opposite earlier.
    as is said earlier i think the brake/disc assembly should come on the opposite side......im guessing.......
    No its not about speed, its about turning and shifting those gears!

Imagine if thats not happening, you would not get the grip and may land up kissing the ground. The purpose of a tyre marker is that only, otherwise tyre manufacturer wont have wasted extra time, money and brains to mark the arrow on the tyre.
      i didnt think of that! thanks for the info... im sure this will help a lot of people......

          small question.. how many of you use a yamaha sealant ?? instead of stuffing that rubber kinda strip with gum?
          this is my first time with tubeless tires. So i really have no idea about what sealants are available

            The usual remedy for puncture in a tubeless tire is inserting a plug..

            An Indian made video is below. you can find other videos too. (how to repair tubeless tire)

            YouTube - HOW REPAIR TUBELESS TYRE PUNCHER


            And there is this product called slime. an instant sealant.

            http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/ap.../1/9513/detail.


            but im not very sure how to go about using it. If some one could tell us how it works, It'd Of great help this product is available in SVC..

              I found this on how to use Slime instant tubeless sealant

              Application Instructions:



              1. The black cap is a valve core remover tool. Unscrew this tool from the top of the cap, and use it to remove the valve core from inside the tire valve stem.
              2. Attach the provided filler tube to both the bottle and valve stem. Squeeze in the recommended amount of sealant.
              3. Screw valve core back into tire valve stem.
              4. Inflate tire to recommended air pressure indicated on the outside of your tire. Spin the tire to distribute sealant to the puncture area if being used as a repair.

              and this is how it works



              I hope this will help you out.

                  No its just the tyres from the alloys which will change their side. Nothing else.

                  This is a very nice thing that I have been using on my R15 as well. I have installed the same only at my rear tyre at the moment.

                  The cost of it is Rs 600 per tyre. But worth it.

                            Yes it's a liquid and comes in bottle. It is very rarely available in India. I dont know any dealer in India but It costs about Rs. 3000 if imported from USA.
                            If there is no hole than there is another method in which you remove a small amount of tire from rim pour required amount of sealant in it and then close the tyre gap. Then circulate the tyre so that it is distributed throughout and leave for 1 hour to dry. Its done.

                            If tyre is not punctured it makes tyre more tough from inside and reduces chances of puncture. It also seals the side of tyre near rim area.
