    Re: Tyres


    The damage done after the accident/slip
    Handle bar was bent like it was made of plastic.Getting parts of Dazzler is a problem.The damaged cowls took 15 days to arrive also they got the wrong colour front cowl saying its not available and they would charge 400-500 for painting it black.
    Have placed a new order for the front cowl at a different ASS
    Has anybody changed these parts on their own???

    and he also suggested to stick with crappy stock tyre.Thankfully zapper c 110 was not available at the moment.
    Is there enough clearance between chain and tyre without any modifications whatsoever.
    zapper vyde 120/80 R17.
    Thank you
    Hi,
    I fixed new tyres at a big MRF shop, and discussed up sizing with them (dealer + mechanics) before installation.
    The clearance might get reduced a bit, but that no way affects anything. I haven't faced any issue till now, and cant visualize any scenario where it may hinder.
    plus no modifications were done to adjust new size.

    Regards

    Yes the clearance is enough.. At least for my bike. Chain is close to the tyres but it doesn't touch.

    I am using below spec tires on my dazzler:
    Front: MRF nylogrip zapper fx 100/80 R17 (May be this one is used by FZ also please correct me)
    Rear: MRf mogrip metor 120/80 R17 (Has got off roading pattern, size same as Vyde)

    This combo gives me a decent all around/all weather performance. There is a trade of with cornering on plain tarmac, and rear is a bit heavier than before(may be Vyde will be lighter), but it offers great ride quality(rider/pillion) and very strong stopping power irrespective of terrain (my priority). there is no noticeable difference in FE and performance.

    You can check my older posts from#2999, they have the pics etc.

    hope it helps,

    In my opinion, stock front is best. But you'll not find it easily.. So you better start looking for it.
