    Filter after it was Oiled





    My Cousin Raju helping me Polish the bike



    That's me capturing my Tank after its polished with the FZ30



    My Faithful & Retired Micheline pilot sport 160-60-17 hats off to you for you never let me down Not Once .... I could see the treading in the middle so had to put a tire in a hurry, got the MRF 140-60-17 ment for FZ & I am happy till now.





    Finished Bike



    Cleaned Chain/Sprocket & New tyre



    One more view of the Tyre



    Engine guard fitted after long time.



    The front Rim looked Shiny



    The in let to HID is a new one, this was mounted on the other side, but the guy who fixed the center lock over tightened the nut on the other side & it came off the charsy so re located the HID to this side & replace the in let soldering by a spare HID connector.



    Ruby electrical near Lalbagh Urivashi theater gate.



    he hardly uses tape, has sleeves that are put & heat gun that shrinks & melts the sleeve to cover it nicely



    Professional hot air blower (18K intr ) 10 years ago it seems & the Insta heat 2 nib soldering gun that Ruby has.



    No Wire twisting 7 Taping its only Soldering & sleeve



    This guy puts even a single wire in a separate sleeve !!



    My Head light Assembly before it was fixed for all the extra wires & tapes in it.



    Black cat center locking that was soldered.




    MY CDI that has tasted the Battery Acid




    The Connector that almost burnt due to HIGH CURRENT HID.


    Any one who has a HID or a Air horn MUST have a cutter relay in the ckt else the wiring is bound to go kaput ...

      i am really surprised by the improvement in performance, after the Clutch plate change it it felt like 20% more torque.
      The FZ Tyre is really really good @ 2100 Rs, Would recommend it for All comet users. After testing its cornering & Wet road performance I am going to cancel my Micheline road 2 order
      I Also cleaned my Matiz K&N at the same time & the car has become very very smooth after that, The Comet K&N was actually clean not much came out as I had cleaned in Comet Garage V too, this time with the K&N kit tough.

      Ruby electrical did a good job but took a lot of time from 10:30 AM to 4:30 pm, billed 1000Rs including the wiring, cutter relay & service charges.

      Thanks
      Sunil

          The Stickers were saved while the repaint job was done, but the T in GT 250 on the Right hand side (as seen in the pic) was painted too the left side is safe I was very specif about it while painting ..

          The Micheline was completely worn out to an extent that I could see the Tyre sewing/viewing pattern in the center patch ...

          Cheers

              Yes I was asking him to try it out but he was hesitant & time came for me to try it me self, Other option of Kings 170-60-17 is available too.

              Cheers

                Yeah I am running on race bred slick tires currently
                FZ's tire is on my list but that is only as a last option
                If I do not get any other, I'll go for this 140 tire

                      You really know what you are doing! Amazing work. Good to know that even MRF rubbers are very good standard quality.
