    Ya that's enough. Did you checked the newly repaired puncture for any air leaks

      Yes I did, with water. There were no leaks. Thanks

              • RE 19" Tyres from Duro!

                Hi Friends & TECH gurus

                I want to have a set of slick tyres fit into my RE alloys(3 spoke).

                Googled & found that Duro HF261A is the only one best suitable

                So, should I go ahead with DURO HF261A : Front 100/90/19, REAR 110/90/19

                Pl suggest
                Every time i am able to change my bike's engine oil, i feel like passing another semester amongst thousands, of being a proficient rider.

                • Hi..I am planning to change my rear tyre to Michelin Sirac 120/90 r17 on my Pulsar 200 but i am confused in choosing front tyre as Sirac rear will increase the height.
                  Earlier I was thinking to put R15 front tyre that will decrease the height from front.

                  Kindly suggest a good tyre for front pls. Thanks

                      For front stick with stock setup.
                      Go with MRF Zapper C / Q for rear
                      If you not much bather about tyre life means you can go for Michelin it's really doing the good work on my bike.
                      Do not upgrade the size, the stock 100 section is enough for good performance.

                      For front never change the size of tyre it'll result bad handling.
                      In Rear Increase in height will not affect the bike handling and also it's increase the bike looks

                      All the tyres are having negative points so don't consider about that.
                      I'm using MICHELIN Pilot Sporty for the past 6months & also completed 5k kms on that. It's really good in performance even on wet surfaces. Now i can confidently doing the corners even at high speeds.
                      All are said the tyre ll lost soon because of it's soft component.But for me it's look like new one even after 5K kms.
                      In high ways i drive 80-100 kmph constantly around 4-5 hrs. But tyre never gave any negative results.
                      So blindly you can go with Pilot Sporty

                      • What would be the best fit and recommended tyre for Pulsar 220 dtsi rear and front. Mostly City riding so cornering and grip should be awesome. Soft compound is what i am looking for.

                        I have not upgraded my tyre as of yet since i got the recommendation here to go for PSD, but looking at the last few pages is it still at the top?

                            Sorry if this has been already discussed... Can someone let me know if we can fit the 130/70 R-17 tyre(from R15) on to FZ 16... If yes, how much difference it would make in handling and for mileage....

                              For front also you can go with Michelin. If both front & Rear are Michelin the output is really superb.

                              Why are you going to reduce the stock tyre size.

                                It is less wider but the overall Dia is increased, should see a increase in top end speed (~3kmph). and any idea how it effects the mileage?
