    Get rim out from a known fabricator ..
    Should cost around 1000 depending on the severity of bend and recolouring the rim ..
    Cheapest option use tube ...
    Liquid isn't any good had tried it ..
    Any reason on why not spend on new rim ? She's being with you for 7 years ..atleast it deserves a new rim

      Im not even sure the rim is bent. Might be a bad tyre. Either way I dont wanna buy a new tyre too. Why did the luquid thing not work when you tried ? What went wrong. Its just that I no lo ger care fr it as I wanna get a new car and then a new ninja maybe.

        .
        Liquid didn't seal it completely still had minor leaks ...
        Tyre has warranty can be replaced if defective ..
        Thats just sad bro !
        I agree its a machine but still man in 8 years i have attached so much to my splendour that i just cant think of selling it or just leave her unattended ..

                        Yes. There is Ceat Zoom XL 110/80-17.
                        Zapper C 110/80-17 is also available on snapdeal. The difference in pricing is around 200 bucks.

                          Now, What is the option availble for 110/70 R17 in general ? Don't want any soft compound puncture prone Tyre....

                          Usage - City tarmac and broken roads at normal commuting.

                            Ceat zoom xl 110/70-17 would be better for broken roads as well as normal city riding. Looks tough.

                              I got both my tyres replaced today on my CBR250r. For front i got metzeler m5 110/70-17 and for rear i got ceat xoom 140/70-17.
                              Right after the installing the tyres, the handling feels so weird. I am absolutely clueless. I opted for correct size tyre but the handling is so different. The problem is that the fronts seems too heavy. When i turn the handle towards one direction, the bikes feels dragged towards that direction. Any suggestions?
