Thats a pretty interesting observation! Really surprising how shabby the manufacturers can get. Do the bikes having these offsets feel out of alignment when you drive them? -
Good to know that the M45 is gelling with your RTR man. From what Ive heard, its a brilliant tyre and hence your RTR must be cornering like on railsOriginally posted by RedApple View PostMaverick thanks for the suggestion, it worked! The only time it rubs now is when the bike hits a hump or a bump really hard...that i can live with. Me and my friend drove/rode pillion alternatively up to Puttaparthy this weekend and we didnt have a single problem
.
As far as the speed-bump tolerance issue is concerned, id reckon stiffening up the rear further would eliminate that too, but might wreck the rear-end grip that you're enjoying now.
Peg-scrape away without any fear then !

hello everyone. i need your help and it is urgent. i ride an apache 150 which has done twenty eight thousand ( 28,000) kms and the time has to come to change the front tyres. as you know the stock tyres from tvs are useless, i was planning to fit the R15's front tyre i.e zapper FY. please tell me if this is possible as the MRF dealer said that the front alloy cant handle the tubeless tyre.
please reply quickly as i need to buy the tyre in 3 to 4 days
please give me more options too.
i am located in bhopal, MP.
thank you

i'm running them tubeless now... all i had to do was put in a valve on my rim that seals in the air.
as long as the mag size n tyre size match... n as long as u have the tyre put on right... u shudn't hav a problem with tubless tyres on ur RTR mags.
i had a Pirellis on my P18OUGIII... used it for about 2 years... i've switched back to the MRF zappers used on the P2OO.
noticed a huge difference when i switched back to zappers...
the Pirellis felt like Velcro. brilliant tyres. so that's what i'd recommend if u have the budget.
i'm still lookin for a good pair for my bike. haven't found dem yet.
well... if IRCs cost that much where u live... y don't u put those on ur bike...Originally posted by addyrulz01 View Post1450 in bhopal

they're pretty decent.. anyways the problem is that my bike is the normal apache 150, not the rtr. this is creating a problem for my bike because no one knows if they can fit a tubeless tyre on my model i.e A150.
please helpComment

Actually i put it on the last setting...so the shocks are at the stiffest that they can be. I'll have to live with the speed bump issue. Oh its a brilliant tyre, well worth the expense.

Does your Apache have 17" alloys in the front? If yes, they the Zapper FY fits in happily. Pls don't forget to put in a tubeless tyre valve before you get the tyre on.Originally posted by addyrulz01 View Postwish i could live with 130 sections at the front. anyways the problem is that my bike is the normal apache 150, not the rtr. this is creating a problem for my bike because no one knows if they can fit a tubeless tyre on my model i.e A150.

Please let us know what IRC tyre models & sizes that dealer has and their cost. What you've told is the least cost we have heard for an IRC.Comment

correct price of R15 front tyre??? urgent!!!!
guys !! iam planning to buy the R15 front tyre zapper FY 80/90 for my bike . the dealer near my place quotes 1400 for the same.
i feel its on the higher side. iam planning to fit it today itself.guys can you quote me the actual price of this tyre so that i can bargain.
thanks in advance and pls reply asap." if WRONG is a T-shirt ; then wearing it inside out doesn't make it RIGHT "Comment

those tyres are in short supply and hence the prices went up. If you want to buy, pay the price. I think the lowest you can get now is for Rs 1300 but I paid Rs 1400 for that same tyre last week.Originally posted by burnrubbernotursoul View Postguys !! iam planning to buy the R15 front tyre zapper FY 80/90 for my bike . the dealer near my place quotes 1400 for the same.i feel its on the higher side. iam planning to fit it today itself.guys can you quote me the actual price of this tyre so that i can bargain.

thanks...will update after buying the tyreOriginally posted by HydBiker View Post" if WRONG is a T-shirt ; then wearing it inside out doesn't make it RIGHT "Comment

yes my apache has a 17 inch at the front but the guy says that the tyre wont fit because the rim is too broad for the R15 tyre as it supports a 90 section tyre..... i have no idea what he said. And will surely confirm the price and let you know. even i was shocked when i heard the price. i hope i didnt hear the wrong priceOriginally posted by HydBiker View Post

I am not able to find R15 front in chennai/Bangalore.. is it available in Hyd? 1400 is actually a good deal.. I guess the actual price is 1650 for the front and 1300 for the rear..Originally posted by burnrubbernotursoul View Post"Never make the mistake of thinking someone is holding you up;that's racing, and you're holding yourself up." - KeithComment

People are quoting 1400-1500 for front and 1700-1800 for the rear.Comment

my bad
sorry guys as i mentioned the wrong price of the IRC tyre. the right price is Rs 2950. i just spoke to the guy and he said he must have said 1450 by mistake. i am really sorry for the trouble.
and yes, the front tyre of the R15 i.e zapper FY costs Rs 1100. i am damn sure as i bought the tyre yesterday
