    Hi Aneesh, i already cut the chain to accomodate M45, so i think it will get fitted in that.What about 100/90-18 direct fit?
    Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

          • Tyres for Classic 500

            Hey guys, I've been riding a Classic since the past 4 months and I'm not happy with the current zappers on the bike. Handling in wet conditions is really poor and I panic the time I see a wet patch on the road as the bike starts tailing and I have no control. The upcoming monsoons have got me worried for a tyre change. My budget is not an issue, I don't mind spending extra for good quality tyres. Please suggest me the best tyres in terms of grip, and also whether I should go for tubeless or no
            Front: 90/90 19"
            Rear: 120/80 18"

            • guys, pls suggest...
              i want to change my platina's front tyre. want a second hand one. as the use won't be that much to spend on new tyre. size 2.75*17. i've two options.
              ceat for rs. 500 and a dunlplop for 350. which one sounds good. ceat is more ghisa huwa but still good to go. dunlop is not that much ghisa huwa, almost new, but has two patches to cover a small hole made by a nail...
              pls advise on the grip part also for commuting purpose only...

                • Tyre change for my Cb Twister...

                  I'm hearing a lot about the Michelin Pilot Sporty, confused between 100/80-17 and 100/90-17... It's for the rear tyre. Which one is suitable for the cb twister and how does it affect the mileage? Also, how does it perform in wet conditions...? I'm afraid of riding in the rains...

                  • Guys today I got a penture in the rear tyre of my classic.... as the tyre is mrf zapper so I took it straight to the MRF Tyre showroom... there was a neil in the tyre... the tube has two hole... one a bit big and just below it one equal. To a small needle.... the showroom guy said its the tube can't be fixed as the two holes are parallel and one may leak soon so they would have to change it... I smelled something fishy but still I said go ahead


                    I asked the price.. he replied its. 450 for tube + 60 service charges... I had read somewhere on xbhp that the tube of bullet costs 300 and I conveyed the same to him but he replied in 300 you get the splender tube not Bullet's... so I got the tube changed and took the old tube with me

                    When coming back I showed the tube to old penture uncle near our home... he said "MRF shoeroom has noone to put the penture.. so they just sell the tube to everyone... this tube can easily pentured.. the charges he asked are 50 for big one and 25 for small"

                    Now I am in a dillema that did MRF guys actually looted me...

                    Please help

                    Thanks

                    • Has anyone bought this?
                      If so how is it?
                      puncture kit for tubeless tyres | eBay
                      CBR250R |
                      Bajaj Pulsar 180 - dts i |
                      Bajaj CT 100

                      Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight.

                      It was not that far on the map.

                          Hi Fluxmaster,

                          My bike is shod with Pilot sporty, they offer good grip. I am not aware of, if they are available in 100/80-17 , but have seen them in 90 profile.

                          They will not adversely affect your mileage , unless you are going for wider or heavier tires. I am yet to test my Michelins in the rain, but the reviews I have read state that they perform quite well in the rain too.
