    HD,
    Which alloys you are planing to upgrade to.

    not quite sure about the dunlop my friend, Very difficult to source in retail stores.
    The only place i've ever seen a dunlop selling is in a kawasaki showroom / service center!!

        I am running FY1 90/80 up front and Vyde 120/80 rear on my P150. While a friend of mine runs FY1 and Masseter 120 combo.
        FY1 is, let's say just FY1, known for phenomenal grip and cornering stability, be it dry or wet tarmac, you can even pull stoppies with this tyre on wet tarmac. Its got a round profile just like the Masseter and it looks great. No wobbling or fishtailing even at hard braking or locking. It just grips and grips.
        Masseter rear 120 is great, very stable at corners and offers great grip. The compound is good and same soft compound as used in Zapper Vyde. No fishtailing observed yet.
        Zapper Vyde is known for grip, an almost bald Z Vyde will offer much more grip than a heated new TVS Srichakra or even Zapper C 100 section. Though the profile is flatter than Masseter, the tyre shows fishtailing under hard braking only on dry tarmac, on wet tarmac it just shines and doesn't usually fishtail until there is debris on the tarmac.
        ..
        About the price - Zapper FY1 front is ₹1650-1750. Rear Masetter is ₹2800-3100. Rear Vyde is 2400-2900. Front Masetter is 1700-1800. Cheers !





        For the Pulsar I would suggest a 120-130 section rear tyre with a roundier profile like the Masetter. Revz is just too flat, even Vyde is roundier.

        Thanks for the replies people! But as I had mentioned earlier, we have already got new tyres.
        Zapper FX1 (FZ v2 tyres) for the front and REVZ S for the rear (130 section) .

        he is loving the experience so far, especially the cornering and braking.

          Hello guys
          Recently I got a Ceat Vertigo Sport Tubeless for rear in 100/90-17 . The problem is that tyre tends to follow small grove lines on the roads . This is not a problem if speed is upto 40 kmph but above that if I'm between 60-80kmph and tyre goes over a line on road the rear becomes unstable and this scares the hell out of me.This has happened 6-7 times in last 500kms since install.
          Need a solution to resolve this issue.

            Isn't Ceat 100/90-17 meant to be used as a front tyre. Maybe this is the reason.

              Get it replaced under warranty and try to talk the dealer for a better or another tyre.

                It's actually a rear tire . I checked ceat's catalogue before installing it.

                      What is the bike that you are riding, and are you using a different size or have you altered the size of the stock tire? Any idea on what pressure are you running?

                        Bro it's TVS PHOENIX 125
                        stock rear size is 90/90-17(not available except in TVS tyres)
                        The options while changing for me were 3.00-17 or 100/90-17 . So I went with the latter. Pressure I'm running is 35psi

                          Reduce tire pressure to 31 to 32 psi and then observe.

                              Phoenix tires are thin. Contact patch would increase using a 100/90. If you feel the bike weaving, check your tire alignment with the front tire. Also check for the right rotation of installation of the tire. If you have wobbling, or weaving,check your wheel bearings.

                                This is actually my 2nd replacement tyre . My 1st replacement tyre was ceat zoom 100/90-17 , never gave me any of these problems In 17k kms of uasge. Checked alignment , bearings. Vertigo sport is a bidirectional tyre because it doesn't have any rotation arrow on it. I suspect problem is due to the pattern of tyre. ( Straight lines of tyre seems to follow the lines on the road)
