You DOG,
When can i see/feel your bike with new rubber?
2.50 front is a good decision. After riding zma's, Enfields & all, the RXZ felt like a pocket size rocket. A short ride on your bike refreshed too many of my college day's memories when i used to ride the RX100/Shogun like a quick - gun - murugun.

VFM & a feel good bike.
Way to go bro, my search is on too, lets see what i find.

Ride safe,
see you soon.

Yaar the rubber feels good, but the other day i went into a BAAD pothole. The handling has been a little off since then. Have to get the cone set checked.

Got a lot more stuff for the bike. Brand new panels and a new instrument console ordered. Need the pulsars front fork and disc assembly set up now.

Just got the cone setting done day before. Where did you buy the panels from?

balenopower · 2nd September 2009, 13:51

RX-Z is a very popular bike in pune..so managed to get the panels here!

balenopower · 23rd November 2009, 19:56

desideep · 2nd December 2009, 22:10

I received a quotation of 8k to 10k for my fiero as the fork leg also need to be replaced. 4k may be only for the disc brake.

Original RXZ Nissin disc break kit retails for 12-14K if you can find one.Fork legs extra.

balenopower · 4th December 2009, 17:07

Just bought the entire Pulsar fork kit along with the disc. The only thing not needed was the T-plate. Got a bill of 8k.

KBX kit used in most of indian bikes are not as good as Nissin or Brembo kits.But they are cost affective Pulsar break pad costs around 250 Rs and i use to pay 900 bucks for my CBZ still its costing somewhere around 750.
