        i think its easier to puncture a tyre when its deflated first . you should try hammering a nail in tread rather than sidewall . no idea on the sound part , never tried it

          nail would be a bad idea...try pin slow and smooth

                dont just insert it...insert and remove...if its tubeless it will take time...and it wont make any noise...

                minor glitch could include tearing the seat cover ?

                why dont you just drill a hole with a drilling machine ??

                  hey Karizmatic,
                  you can try this, not sure if it serves your purpose.

                  Angle the pin/nail in front of the tyre such that its locked between the ground and tread of your tyre. Then when you take it off the stand (or move it a lil forward/backward as may be the case), the pin/nail is bound to puncture the tyre.

                  I have not tried this on 2 wheelers, but works 100% on cars. Tried and tested.

                    its tube type tyre, the karizma R it is.

                    drilling machine is a good option but again the noise factor.

                    tearing the seat cover wont make the bike to stop running

                    yup i knew this method, even tried on cars but IMO it is try and hit method, still i will try, coz the nail slips when the tyre moves backward/forward.

                      is there a way to deflate tyres completely without puncturing them and without noise?

                          @KARISMATIC - remember that a punctured tire will render the bike non ride-able.... if you are so eager to showcase the bike as problematic, why not put in a old spark plug (which was earlier replaced - assuming you have one lying around). This way, when you need, you can just put back the good one and go on...

                                Help me out

                                hello my dear Xbhpians Namaste and Salam valekum

                                i have a R 15 which has clocked just 7000 kms in a 2yrs time, there's a small crack in the tyre and also had a lot of punctures the tread is fine i need to go to fill in the air every day, i dont know from where does the air leak from.

                                as of which i thought of going in fitting a tube in the tyre, i don't know how it would effect and also would like to know if again i can fit a tube less tyre after using a tube in it,

                                what tyre would be best suitable for rough roads always full of mud and sand no clean roads in my town? shall i go in for a mrf tube tyre?


                                plz help me brothers
