    Osram night breakers in the shopping list... Question here - will the PBK guys do the avenger coil fitting? does this void the warranty?
    Try the R15 fronts.

    I'm getting R15 front and rear tomorrow.

        I'll let you know on sunday man. I'll change tyres tomorrow and head out to the track on saturday.

        Although I'm sure I'm not doing the bike any favours in the looks department by changing to these tyres.

          Cool! Good luck with the change and for the track!
          yeah the proportions might go out of the window.

          • @ Wolfy : AFAIK it doesnt void the warranty if u use the Avenger 180's coil.

            if you are willing to live with a little lag in the dipper and a lil below max output from the bulb, then you could just change to the nightbreakers without changing the coil and try it out first.. then switch the coil if you still dont like it.

              Now i would really like to see how this turns out, BTW is'nt the 200/220 rear rims a bit wider than the 180 (on which incidentally the R15's tyres fit perfectly), so by putting a lower profile thinner tyre onto a wider rim, won't it affect the tyre as well as the rim??
              I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.

              • Awesome.. Will ask these PBK guys about the avenger coil.. need to buy nightbreakers first.. if it is good i thik it will go into all my bikes!
                Wanna check out the IRC range.. how come these guys don't have front options.. if i remember, mich had an option. Got to confirm this though!

                • i've been toying with the idea of scrubbing the rear's to a rough in the hopes of improved grip?

                  Comment


                  • i'n not sure if it would help.. its the "compound" of the tire which is hard, not the tread pattern.. My opinion.. haven't any hands on experience. so..

                      200 Rims are 120/80 17. I was looking for 100/80 17 at the MRF dealers. Thats when I saw the R15 tyre its 100/80 17 as well. And the dealer said it would fit. He did warn me that it would last only 8000 kms though.

                      All i need to do is get my bike out of service tomorrow and head out to MRF and see if the dealer was correct.

                      you can get the specs for the R15 rear tyre on
                      Two Wheelers its called the Zapper S TL 100/80 17 the fronts are called Zapper FY TL

                      • Make sure you tell us about the tyres when you get it on, BTW do you get R15 tyres at the MRF dealers? When i asked the one near my house they said the R15's tyres being OE and Company specific you can get it only at Yam outlets, though you can get it at GP Road too

                          I'm happy to say the rear tyre was a perfect fit. Not enough cash for the front as well this month.
                          Unfortulately all the riding after the change was in stop go traffic. So I'm not sure of the effects. But I did feel that it is a lot less reluctant to lean.

                          The MRF dealer in CR ramaswami road is loaded with R15 tyres.

                            Whoa! Dude? Where are you staying? I seriously need to come by and get a crack at those R15 tyres to see how it feels. I might be going for the same thing too. If you can, PM your phone number across to me.
                            Any pictures?

                                No pictures yet dude... Heading out to the track tomorrow... A friend is bringing his camera. I'll take some Pics then.

                                Also the ride quality is not affected much. And it doesn't look weird either.

                                My suspension is at the tightest setting and its still pretty soft. Any idea if the old pulsar shocks are harder. If so do they fit on the 200
