        On the front you can use Zapper FY1...i got it for 1700 at MRF outlet (r15 v2 front tyre). It just grips and grips and grips man.


        @MidnightEvil Parth: Thanks for the advice. I think I will go ahead and change the rear tyre to MRF Moto-D. There is lot of loose gravel on the roads here and I don't want to skid someday.

            I came across MRF Moto Q 100/90 x 18 on an old APache bike. Thought will ask experts on the performance so shall go for it if deemed fit for my bike.

              I am using MRF Moto D for my Discover ST 125 since a couple of days and the difference is phenomenal! These tyres have an awesome grip, esp. when you compare it with the stock Kenda tyres.
              Only issue I feel is, on highway the ride is very bumpy! feels as if there are micro speed breakers on the road. I think this might be due to the rear being over inflated? I shall go and check the air pressure and see how it feels then..

                  It isnt because of over inflation.....its due to the block pattern design of moto D.....they arent meant for highway cruising.....you will experience that on any such tyre. ..for example.. Take ceat vertigo sports

I'm planning to change it to Tubeless tyre Is it possible to upgrade my tyre to tubeless? Have anyone used tubeless tyre in their Classic 350, 500? Will the tubeless tyre can withstand the weight of my bike which is 182+KG? Need suggestions please

                    Thanks,

                          Tubeless tyres on a spoked rim would be a much much problem bro......you can get both alloy type tubeless rims for RE @nearly INR4.8k.....and after that for tubeless tyres they are available from Duro and Pirelly in 18-19" size

                            For the 3 consecutive time got the Michelin Pilot Sporty 100/90 R17 tyre for my P180 UG3 in 3 years.

                            Really awesome tyre overall. I would recommend to every Pulsar owner looking for stock replacement options (tube-type) with tyre size of 100/90 R17

                              • 110-90/18 compatible with Honda Unicorn (2005)?

                                Hello Bikers,

                                I have 2005 Honda Unicorn. I am planning to put new tyres on it so was looking for 110 size tyre for rear, specifically MRF Zapper Q 110-90/18. But the MRF person was kind enough to ask me to verify whether 110 will fit Unicorn.

                                Kindly help.

                                Thanks a lot.
                                Vikram
