      What's the tire pressure?May be due to it's grip...

      too heavy ...couldn't do zip zap in city traffic confidently
      Why too heavy???? Why you couldn't zip zap?????? I dont have these problems.No one had said this about m45 before.

            thats because... you have UPSIZED your Tyre size... It'll affect your Bike's handling...

            normal size of Karizma'r front tyre is 2.75*18..

            • Guys..

              I've bought Honda Tuff-Up tubes from the Honda showroom.
              will be using it in MICHELIN SIRAC STREET 100/90*18 Tyre..

              I wanted Unicorn's tuff-up tube as Unicorn's rear tyre is 100/90*18..
              the Honda guys, gave me a 3.00*18 sized tube.. n.. said.. "It is fitted in the unicorn"..

              now.. will there be any problem if I put 3.00 tube in a 100/90 Tyre..???

              Is.. 3.00 equivalent to 100/90??

              I'll be using my Bike for Rally'ing in this coming June... So, need some expert advice..!
              Plz help..

                I think there is no particular size for tubes,just two different tubes for front and rear fitments,Not sure,Correct me if i am wrong.

                Is.. 3.00 equivalent to 100/90??
                No,3.50 is equal to 100. 3.0 is 90/90.

                  Check this,I cant see a huge difference in tire size. Also how a 0.25" increase affect your handling??

                    • Can anybody guide me where I can find IRC tyres in Pune?
                      Advice is a form of nostalgia.
                      Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

                            The pressure is correct only...My be I don't have skills like you

                            The grip is good, its just the added weight than the stock tyre.I think I am getting used to it as I am riding more.

                            As Aneesh said .25inch is not much of a difference ...Its the weight

                                Neil, you can use the same without any problem, since I already have used the same in HH Hunk 100/90 Tyre.
                                BTW, from where you have sourced the tuff-up tube? I was planning to get one for the rear as I already have got for the front.
                                Move on.........
