Fantastico! Congrats....This is one tyre that you'll never want to let go off!

Where did u buy it from? Do they have more stock? My tyre needs a change sometime soon.

And do post how is the feel in the higher rpms especially post 6K rpm. The bike must run really smooth now!

I edited my previous post for the details on where I bought it. This place is at left side of the first signal of JC Road. I am already loving the feel of it man.

They have loads of stock.

I tried taking it above 6k but hardly got the roads to open it up. But at 4k rpm there is an increase in at least 3kmph. This would increase as the revs build and I suppose would get close to 5kmph according to what you mentioned. The bike feels good now, 2nd gear lasts a lot longer now before shifting to 3rd.

I haven't found any decrease in acceleration but obviously there would be a decrease on paper, anyways acceleration is on lower priority so no issues with that. Probably step out tonight to see how they perform.

Cheers.

^^ Good to hear that they have plenty of stock!

The decrease is accleration is not apparent to the rider, I din't feel a thing too. But when pitted again a bike running with stock tyres you would know the difference in acceleration.

For my bike first gear is same or better actually, but with every shift from 2nd to 5th the gap increases as the stock bike is accelerating faster. But its a different story that the higher gearing helped me overtake the stock bike post 125

You'r 200 must be doing a topend of about 135-137 speedo indicated now!

It used to do a 132kmph top speed with the 220 sprocket. I doubt if the engine has power to get to 135-137. I would expect an increase in about 1-2kmph but I can do 100kmph at a lower rpm and that is the whole idea. My 200 should be the slowest 200 around in terms of acceleration.

If you are free tonight we could catch up for a short ride somewhere. Call Pranay too.

With the Sirac I am able to do 5Kmph extra. But since you are already with the 37T, i guess you should be able to squeeze about 1-2kmph like you rightly said.

OT: Im heading to Airport in the evening, thats my ride plan for today! I don't think Pranay is riding now a days, his bike is in need of a part!

Up sizing your tyre does have a lot of effects...some good and some bad...stick to the stock tyre atleast till it wears out!!..
