There is a glitch in this video from 18:10 to 20:54 where the video hangs. Here is the link to the missing portion. Sorry for this glitch. Cheers! ruclips.net/video/PYa7C27_KOw/видео.html
This is exactly what I wanted. Love this kind of podcast conversation. 2 seasoned guys sharing experiences and knowledge cutting out any nonsense with a pinch of humor :) Keep going. Really appreciate your efforts. Cheers
What’s attracted me most to you guys is the easy conversing. If a motorbike enthusiast cannot take out time to sit back and enjoy a bike conversation then what’s the point! Everything nowadays is so timed and scripted often with flowery language , predictable , sticking to ‘norms’.
This video was lovely! Loved the amount of information, the style of candid delivery, the breadth and depth of discussion.. Also the philosophy man, priceless! I remember watching a previous video of yours and you say "When did it become about motorcycles rather than motorcycling?".. Resonated with me a lot.. Lots of love and respect for what you and CK are doing! ❤️
Too good a nice class, expect a lot more from you guys. These educate all the masses who are transitioning from smaller cc cc category to mid range cc. I have never changed to higher cc, stuck at 150cc. But always wanted to know more. Thank you for all the information.
35:10 also during raining season its best to ride on those two 4 wheeler tracks coz they are generally more dry due to contant wipe from all the vehicles tyres. And as you mentioned rubber from tyres get laid down due to constant use, this rubber patch provides more grip than the centre part of lane.
Very informative podcast. Thank you. Pls recommend a good portable tyre inflator pump with indicator for hassle free filling before heading out for a ride.
I can just watch these two talk about anything I'll still watch it interestingly. Just love these dynamic duo talking about bikes Fyi there is a video freeze at 18:10 till 20:50
Regarding the battery powered tire inflators... i have a portronics one and many times it has saved me to get my car out of the house even when the tire pressure fell below 10psi. Although this way it is good only for two refills before charging the battery.
i'm not happy with the tires that came with my X440 Harley Davidson Denim, already slipped on wet payment/gravel on the potholed streets of Bangalore, great video that I needed to watch!
Good one.. most people are unaware of these markings on the tyres. Could you please do a similar video on batteries. Like how to decode the code to figure out the shelf life before buying one so we don't buy an old one? etc.. Thanks 😊
Very informative video… had a very good learning… especially the low tyre pressure causing tyre bursts…. Generally do we change front and rear tyres at the same time ?, relatively tyres are multiple puncture free…. Do we find Tyre wear mark even on rear street tyres also ?… where do we find them ?… what would generally be the life in kilometres run, of tyres ?
Thanks. Change tyres when worn. You can change separately and didn't have to be a set change. The TWI mark is on all tyres. Tyre wear is highly dependent on use. Anything to anything possible.
In world filled with tons of knowledge, i got a cup of it from here. Thanks. The part covered about tubeless repairing kits of various types, if a solo episode made for this. Regards.
don't own a bike but good info cause i can use this knowledge for my dad's car as it is generic for all tyres. Thanks for info, highly valuable 51 mins.
On a recent ride, a fellow rider low sided on a lean and sudden brake due to incoming car on the TrailR (390adv) , there could be lot of reasons for the fall but I feel TrailR is the culprit. TourR I believe is the best option for a casual tourer + occasional offroading (chikmaglur 10km stretch to the homestay)
Sir, Thankyou for the very nice info on tyres. i know TVS eurogrip tyres are doing good on duke 390. Tvs is coming up with 120s and 180 section tyres now . Any experience from any person who has used these on street triple 765.
Hi , no words to express here got a good knowledge on tyres and this is my first comment on RUclips . Do you think balancing alloys required for bikes like how we do for cars wanted to know so asking and I feel you be the right person to answer with clarification
I am getting very fond u. Thanks for this podcast.. This is exactly what I was looking for. Lastly any good tyre suggestiom for int 650, mostly tarmac riding and yes I have spoke wheel for now😅
Very nice, I brought meteor 350 and I changed my stock new tyre with CEAT SportRad W Rated 150/60-17R tyre and thinking same for front tyre but do not know what hat is best Tyre
@bigbearbangalore what do you think about the off market process of changing tire from tubeto tubeless. Say for the new Himalayan. Maybe you guys can make a detailed video about it.
I learnt a very valuable information thanks for that. Question is by converting tube rims into tubeless rims with some after market jugads, will that work properly as stock ones.
I hated the gripp XL on my Himalayan, especially in ghats and wet conditions. Swapped them out to eurogrip pancers and they are admirable on road, easily dips into corners. Considering mogrip meteors or apollo actigrip
What’s your opinion about new type tyre like self healing puncture tyres.. say like the JK or CEAT tyres is having it.. what’s your opinion about that.. heard like drop in mileage
Can you give an idea of the number of kms a Tyre will / should last. My bike is currently sitting idle, so don’t know when to change the tyres - in this case how to determine when to change tyres
Guys ull missed out covering a few topics that would possibly really help understand the type of tyres you put on a bike .. 1)type of rubber used on the tyre. 2) type of tyre (bais ply, radial) 3) weight of the tyre and how it changes the maneuverability.. 4) upsizing and downsizing of tyres 5) use of internal sealants .. for auto puncture repair ... Would love to hear your take on this ..
On my bikes rare tyre of avenger from centre line towards one side its nice and curvy....and from centre line towards other side it has flat wearout.....i went to shop for checking balancing..... they told it is because in our country we have lot of left turns... nothing to worry...... some how i am not able to feel ok about....... your suggestion plz
If you think about it, the 80/20 60/40 style of showing tyre purpose makes sense.. Think about it like this.. Let's take an example of 80/20 tyre.. The way I see it, I can understand that 80% of tarmac users would be satisfied with it. Only the top 20% tarmac users would not be happy with it. And only 20% of the dirt road users would be satisfied with it. It is kind of like inverse percentile. The problems you mention are definitely there.. Like the numbers varying across brands. But there needs to be some sort of communication to the intended purpose.. Standardising it is one way, but this can give an idea to a layman buyer.
Oh.. I think I'm contradicting myself now.. 50-50 tyres are actually decent on both.. Which would mean they are inverse 75-75 percentile.. Lol, you're right Bosky.. It is indeed confusing.. And like you discussed, fitment of MY purpose trumps these awkward terminologies..
Also.. Have learnt so much new stuff watching this video.. I usually find podcast stlye videos boring, but this was amazing and never once felt bored.. Candid and super informative as well.. Awesome work folks!
hii guys love your videos simple awesome great content and love your jokes 😄 good fun and also your knowlege since you are talking about tyres i got the speed 400 with apollo alpha are these good tyres or are they better ones can you suggest a few good ones
Hi Bosky and CK. May I know why is it not ideal to convert a 'tubeless tire with a tube in spoke wheels' (Eg Himalayan 450) to 'tubeless' in the after market? I saw a video where a person poured some solution in the rim and within four days the tyre become tubeless. It seemed like a good idea to me. Also budget friendly. Can you please share your thoughts on this?
I have a yezdi adventure spoke wheels were a compromise for my choice of motorcycle but now I am planning for a solution to get it tubeless by using sealing tape or solution. Do you think they are worth and do you have any suggestions which one to buy?
The rim has to be tubeless compatible for any sealing or tape to work. Check on this. If they are, some conversion options exist on the market. Am not familiar with them though.
hello Sir, im bit confused in selecting a pair of tube tyres for my royal enfield classic 350. Can you suggest me the best one please. I generally use my motorcycle for city commuting and once in a while for long rides.
Hi Sir, I have been riding a KTM 390 Adventure for last one year and have completed 15k kms. I am planning to go for a road trip to Spiti Valley from Mumbai in July. Currently, The Metzeler Tourance has enough tread for another 4-5k kms but I am thinking of changing my tyres before the trip. Do you think the Reise Moto TourR is a good replacement for Metezeler Tourance considering the former costs around 4k and Metzeler are 15k for one tyre
The Metz is imported and hence is superior because it's in a different category to the Reise. And the Reise is quite good and is made in India and is value for money. It's your call.
Hey bosky the scrambler 400x has rear tire 140/80 section. This is odd size and Need alternatives to MRF. Kindly suggest. I saw the price of Pirelli scorpion rally to be 20k. Thats very expensive. Anything in sub 8k range
@@bigbearbangalore 130/80? what would you recommend between this or 150/60 or 160/70...Many youtubers say width should be kept same or 1 size up, many others also say the inner area should be kept same...Kindly shed light which change could be better....As there's no 140/80 in my opinion
Going up will make the motorcycle sluggish to change of direction. One size smaller is OK and makes the motorcycle nimble. Big fat tyres are more for looks.
I would like to know about bi directional tyres used in scooters. I have got a Ray zr 125 and it runs a 90/90/12 tyre in the front and I got Michellen city tyre which can be put both ways but in front one way and in the rear other way rotating ( tvs Jupiter uses the same size for front and rear) the tyre shop installed it in the rear orientation in the front and i didn't noticed it for a couple of days. (Found it while washing) And went that day itself and made them put it back in the correct orientation even though they said nothing is going to matter. Is it because of rolling resistance or grip factor it's like that. When I'm in the city (less than 10 kms) I run 5 psi more on both ends and if I'm doing more than 100kms a day (hometown and back) I put stock pressure in the front and 2 up in the rear. In the rear I run mrf zapper (can't find Michellens for the rear 110/90/10)
@@bigbearbangalore Oh neat... And how would you rate them for their Indian metric of grip to life ratio? Most Indian manufacturers are focusing more on the tyre life and ends up having less grip is what I've felt like...
Yes the focus here is on life. And these have moved that balance towards grip. Although not as much as the fully imported brands. But better than most Indian brands in terms of grip.
Hello Sir, I would like to give a major news update on the Svartpilen 401. Well it seems that we aren't getting any Pirelli tyres with the bike now due to certification issues. And we all very well know who issues the certification here in India. What they have done is that, they swapped the Pirelli tyres with Apollo Trampler XR tyres straight away. The website still says Pirelli tyres. Just received pics from a contact of mine. Please have a look at the Apollo Trampler XR tyres on Team Bhp page for Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. Everyone has booked the bike for Pirelli tyres. Atleast the manufacturer should have revised the price for the bike since a pair of Pirelli Scorpion tyres cost approx 25-27k per set. Really disappointed to see such attitude towards Indian market since the New Tvs Apache RTR 310 and the new KTM Duke 390 both have imported Michelin Road 6 and Metzeler M7 tyres.
boskyy sir- 150/80 B16 tyre requirement is there for me. i am not able to tick any option apart from ceat. are u aware of any manufacturer making the above mentioned spec?
I’ve seen a bunch of recommendations asking to switch to less buttony tyres. I ride my bike in the same manner as you do. Lots of road travel. I don’t like making myself miserable with adventure stuff. With this as context is a switch to the middle tyre warranted? Of course I plan to not replace the current tyres until they wear out
Namaskara Sir, Iam facing slow air leakage in my tyre. Usual soap water spray test reveals no puncture but on an average i have drop of 1-2 psi/day. I need to top up twice a week Any suggestions? Puncture fluid any good?
Helooo, the Middle tyre name plz.. for my Himalayan 411, I20-90-17 Rear and 90-90-21 Front wheel Any good Brand is OK. Need Tubeless only. kindly suggest
@@bigbearbangalore Not 'inches', it’s 'inch'. As far as of my knowledge inch is a mathematical unit and unit shouldn’t have any singular or plural number. My math teacher taught me that.
Thanks for the English correction. My match teacher also much have taught me and I didn't pay attention. And perhaps my English teacher too and I didn't pay attention.
Good one 👍 Sir just curious I ride Interceptor 650cc on Highway 90% where even Highway are and rider face off road conditions for miles even today right. Can our Indian manufacturer manufacture Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres? I have one set on my Interceptor 650cc. Other option is CEAT which cost near 8k. Does it justify to ban? and ride on bull shit tyres and risk life? I trust Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR has they saved my life in many tricky situations (Remember I am experienced Rider and have been riding from my school days). I am expecting our manufacturer to deliver and manufacture such tyres or lift the bann.
Reise only promotes it tyre on social media, thru influencers got motivated ordered n waited for more than one month , Reise couldn't make it available in place like Delhi It's only only social media The specifications speed n weight numbers of Reise tyre were less than stock tyre

I Have Heard that You are Not Allowed to Wash Your Bikes or Cars In Bangalore because of a Major Water Crisis situation
That's true.
I think it is for using potable water or corporation water supply. You can use STP water or RO reject
@@hiteshtsdon't use RO reject water to wash bike. It's more corrosive and leaves more stains on the bike. Better to put the RO reject water to plants

The rim has to be tubeless compatible for any sealing or tape to work. Check on this. If they are, some conversion options exist on the market. Am not familiar with them though.
How does elevation affect the tyre pressure ?
It does increase the pressure hardness due to lower outside atmospheric pressure.
Some liquid for self healing puncture? For tubeless tyres..
They don't work well enough.

How is reise as a brand? Hadn't heard of them till recently but suddenly they have started popping up in a lot of stores.
They make tyres in collaboration with Mitas, a well known and reputed European brand known for it's dual purpose and off-road tyres.
@@bigbearbangalore Oh neat... And how would you rate them for their Indian metric of grip to life ratio? Most Indian manufacturers are focusing more on the tyre life and ends up having less grip is what I've felt like...
Yes the focus here is on life.
And these have moved that balance towards grip. Although not as much as the fully imported brands. But better than most Indian brands in terms of grip.
@@bigbearbangalore Okay, will definitely give them a try next 🤞🏻
Hello Sir, I would like to give a major news update on the Svartpilen 401. Well it seems that we aren't getting any Pirelli tyres with the bike now due to certification issues. And we all very well know who issues the certification here in India. What they have done is that, they swapped the Pirelli tyres with Apollo Trampler XR tyres straight away. The website still says Pirelli tyres. Just received pics from a contact of mine. Please have a look at the Apollo Trampler XR tyres on Team Bhp page for Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. Everyone has booked the bike for Pirelli tyres. Atleast the manufacturer should have revised the price for the bike since a pair of Pirelli Scorpion tyres cost approx 25-27k per set. Really disappointed to see such attitude towards Indian market since the New Tvs Apache RTR 310 and the new KTM Duke 390 both have imported Michelin Road 6 and Metzeler M7 tyres.
That's news to me. OK, noted.
👍

Which is the tyre on the vstrom 250 sx by default. Is it the third type of tyre?
Looks like it's in between the middle and right tyre.
I’ve seen a bunch of recommendations asking to switch to less buttony tyres. I ride my bike in the same manner as you do. Lots of road travel. I don’t like making myself miserable with adventure stuff. With this as context is a switch to the middle tyre warranted? Of course I plan to not replace the current tyres until they wear out
Namaskara Sir,
Iam facing slow air leakage in my tyre. Usual soap water spray test reveals no puncture but on an average i have drop of 1-2 psi/day. I need to top up twice a week
Any suggestions?
Puncture fluid any good?
May be a leak between the wheel rim and tyre bead.
Can I put 19inch wheels on speed 400 after 1 year same that 400x or some other one but 19 inch. And will it be good idea?
May be

24:36 It’s not 300, it’s 3.00, means 3 inch.
Yes it is inches agree and it's commonly referred to as 300 or 250 or 275 etc. Thanks.
@@bigbearbangalore Not 'inches', it’s 'inch'. As far as of my knowledge inch is a mathematical unit and unit shouldn’t have any singular or plural number. My math teacher taught me that.
Thanks for the English correction. My match teacher also much have taught me and I didn't pay attention. And perhaps my English teacher too and I didn't pay attention.

Good one 👍 Sir just curious I ride Interceptor 650cc on Highway 90% where even Highway are and rider face off road conditions for miles even today right. Can our Indian manufacturer manufacture Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres? I have one set on my Interceptor 650cc. Other option is CEAT which cost near 8k. Does it justify to ban? and ride on bull shit tyres and risk life? I trust Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR has they saved my life in many tricky situations (Remember I am experienced Rider and have been riding from my school days). I am expecting our manufacturer to deliver and manufacture such tyres or lift the bann.
I understand your view.
And the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. 🙏
Reise only promotes it tyre on social media, thru influencers got motivated ordered n waited for more than one month , Reise couldn't make it available in place like Delhi
It's only only social media
The specifications speed n weight numbers of Reise tyre were less than stock tyre
