You can look on the swingarm or nearby areas. Most manufacturers these days paste a sticker with recommended tire pressures & maximum load on the swingarm...

Finally a Tyre Upgrade.....
Stock Tyre MRF Zapper (TL) -120/80-17
Changed to Michelin (TT)120/90-17 Was misguided by the store Karizma Batteries in Dahisar that it can be used as TL, Hence I returned the Tyre and that Guys gave Rs 200 less as he said that now that the tyre is used WTF...Will never ever Buy Michelin again as their dealers dont know wht they sell.

Finally have changed to Vee Rubber 130/80-17 Dont know much abt them but its on Trial and Error Basis. Pics Attached.....

When you get bigger tyres, your bike will be running at a taller gearing(your bike will run at a lesser rpm for the same given speed), there will be slight drop in acceleration(depending on how much you are upsizing) and there will be slight increase in top-end(3-5 kmpl)....also mileage may be affected slightly...
These are only small changes..The major change will be the handling..The bike will feel much heavier and will make riding in heavy traffic little difficult..

Ohk.... so what do you suggest???? should i go for an tyre upgrade or should i stick to the stock ones???

Rear tyre for a 2005 Pulsar

Hi,
I own a 2005 Pulsar, and the rear tyre's quite worn out.
I think currently the tyre's 110/90 or 100/90 m not exactly sure.
I was wondering i shuould put a lil more wider tyre this time, so wanted to know what's the widest i can put without changing the alloys.
And also which brand would make the riding most comfortable and stable.

Query Merged.

I think the widest rear tyre you could fit into that bike is a 130/80/17; but I'll recommend you to be on the lookout for more replies from more experienced forum members here before jumping to a conclusion.

Is your tyre 17" or 18 " ?

Pulsar = 17" alloy.

@GoGreen: Is there a 120/80 Michelin in the works for India?
(The Sirac is a little too tall for my taste)

Honda Tuff-Up Tube

Guys, posted this in another thread but thought it would be useful here too:

Here is an excerpt from a Honda Press Release:

----->
The Tuffup tube design prevents the sudden loss of air pressure by sealing the holes or cuts made in the tube by any piercing foreign object, like a nail, with the help of a sealant.

The Tuffup tube has a two layer structure consisting of an air compartment and a liquid sealant compartment. The two compartments are independent from each other and the liquid compartment covers the outer side of the air compartment's surface through 18 0 degrees.

The liquid compartment is filled with a newly-developed water soluble sealant consisting of non-toxic fibres and powders. An anti-freezing agent is also added to the sealant to prevent it from freezing in high altitudes.
In the event that a nail pierces the tube, the liquid sealant instantly oozes out into the hole. Due to the elasticity of rubber, fibres in the sealant become sandwiched between the nail and the tube. The sealing process is assisted by the powder that fi lls the gaps between the fibres and the liquid. Should the nail become dislodged, the sealant seeps out and seals the hole.

Due the air pressure the liquid sealant cannot enter the air compartment, even when a hole is punched between the air and liquid compartments. Should the fibres which have been sealing the hole fall off, the sealant will seep out and the process will beg in again.

Honda has said that long term user tests have proved that the Tuffup tube handles 90 per cent of all punctures in Japan. On the other hand, short term user tests, that were conducted in India have shown that even in the most rugged terrains and roads, th e Tuffup tube can handle 70 per cent of punctures. The company, in the meanwhile, is in the process of conducting long term user tests in the country.
