    @sunny

    any specific reason for this? or is it to avoid a cracked rim?

    Sunny Bhai said this spec was recommended by Yamaha guys themselves for more stability, Braking, cornering

    • Hey that's gr8.. The launch venue... Hotel Sea blue is just mins away from my house..
      I'll surely make it on friday.. Very excited to meet all u guys there..
      @ Sunny...I am coming..

      PS: I hope the road in front of sea blue is clear by now.. It was completely dug out due to bandra - worli sea link construction. Even though I stay just 10 mins away from sea face it's been long since I last went there. Earlier I used to go there every night after dinner.
      Anyways.. will pay a visit tonight after dinner...

      Ride safe guys..!

        • @ravi: indeed it is overkill. It was recommended by Yamaha guys (rear 120 and front 110 zappers). Totally worthless, takes the handling away from the bike. We are 250 kms before Mumbai right now in a highway restaurant.

                  Get them changed to the stock ones in Mumbai.

                    I guess it wasn't the engineers who designed the bike who recommended. Was it the servicemen?

                    Good luck with the rest of the trip Sunny.

                    EDIT: Agree with DriftKingNT, you should get them changed to enjoy the trip.

                    • The front Zapper in the pic is designed to be used as a rear tyre IIRC.
                      Anyways..

                      Like Pranay, Drift have already said, the stock tyres are amazing. If possible please do revert to the stock MRF's and not the monstrocities that the 1-5 is currently burdened with

                      @Sunny, OF, Sunil jee, Shailay : All the best for the next leg of the journey guys..

                      Cheers..!!

                      • The handling is all gone. I mean its ok, if not great, on sub 60kph speeds. But once you go past 70 mark, it becomes bit painful to negotiate the high speed traffic. The real pain comes when, respecting the speeds of a highway, you have to touch the 100 kph mark.

                          Depressing to hear about the 15 Wonder what prompted such advice from Yamaha
                          Hopefully, you guys will be able to get the 15s shoes sorted out in Mumbai.

                          Thanks for keeping us updated Shailay

                          • @ sunny bro...
                            Hey the launch ceremony is scheduled at 1200 noon.. But by what time will u b there? I m asking cause i would love to be there a lill early and have some interaction with u guys. Also because some of the guys from Mumbai dont know this place and coz m staying very close to worli sea face, am supposed to guide those guys to the place. So i need to tell them time accordingly.

                            Will wait for ur response brother.

                            Ride safe..!
                            Happy journey!
