Re: The Honda CB Twister

Go tubeless only, I recently changed to Michelin City Pro Tyre • Front 2.75-17 and • Rear 80/100-17. The grip is better than stock MRF tyre. Stock tyre lasted 27K for me still had the juice to run 4-5K kms but they developed cracks (7 years old) so I changed them.Front cost ₹1400/- with fitting and GST paid bill • Rear cost ₹1500/- with fitting and GST paid bill.
Note: Writing this after driving 1000Kms with new tyres.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Tubeless are always preferred over tt, and they are cheaper too as the price of tube not applicable. Go for Zapper YM (80x100/17), Which is recommended and cost somewhere 1200 to 1400. https://www.mrftyresandservice.com/t...7-tl-zapper-ym

Re: The Honda CB Twister

Hey everyone my rear tyre is probably reaching the end of its life the punctures are leaking and not holding
Hence I would like to ask if I should go for tubeless or not
and which tyre in both categories are better
Suggestions will be appreciated
thanks already 😀

Re: The Honda CB Twister

No there is no downside but there is no upside either it will sound different than stock. Marginal to none effect on power.

Iridium and G power power plugs extends plugs usable life. So instead of 10 to 12 K interval you change them at 25 to 30K. Iridium cost ~500+ and G-power is ~250. Power delivery not so much affected.

Here you have quite a few options, You could try semi synthetic or synthetic blend oil which will might have positive effect on your riding experience.
Try Honda throttle 10w30 or Shell Adv Ax7 10w40. With synthetic oil you will find the motor marginally rev happy and consequently marginal drop in fuel economy.

Unfortunately you can't extract more power from a aging motor but you can try your best to keep it stock and in best working condition. that's your best bet.

Re: The Honda CB Twister

My partner is 7 years old now and have been leading his life with completely stock parts until now (except for the upsized rear tyre of course!).
I think it's about time I gave him a bit more appeal and masculinity, but I need a bit of expert opinion on the subject and I was hoping that my experienced fellow
motorcyclists would help me with it.

1. What is the model no. of K&N air filter that suits Twister? Are there any down sides for changing from stock filters? Also what is the price range of the suitable filter?
2. Does changing in to NGK iridium spark plug improve the performance of the bike? Also what is the price range of that spark plug?
3. Which is the best engine oil other than stock one?

Rather than improving on these parts if you guys have any additional tips on improving the performance, kindly enlighten me
