Nice..but I would worry more than that stock mrf tyre than the headlamp....lol.

I think there's light adhesive, you could use a nylon/polyester string, wrap around the seal/tube boundary, and tighten the loop to separate it without harm... first time is usually the most difficult. And if you're sensitive, you can feel the harshness reduce or at least the front end feels better. In my case, parking the bike for many weeks wouldn't cause the oil seal to dry up, and then leaving a film of fork oil on the shiny tube when I ride it again.

new bike not under warranty? Especially if its worn unevenly.

My clutch on the dominar lasted 65k km. I'm aware that the 390 clutch and 200 clutch is slightly different, but 16k is unusually premature.

By any chance did u use car engine oil? Or non bike rated oils?

Hi, may I know do you accept order for my mono also of I wan to revalve?

Swaped in a set of UG USD forks on my V1 Dominar. Also changed the stock 2 pot axial front caliper to the UG's 4 pot radial unit and a new front mudgard along with the triple clamps.

The Dominar rides like a new bike now. Steering bearing and forks seal busted, so it's a night and day difference.

Yes, the front wheel and brake disc spins the wrong way around (since the UG has brakes the other side of the bike) but I'm nitpicking. Will have to rotate the front tyres to the right rotation.

I've seen some vids on people taking out the fuel injector and clean it.
But it also makes sense to just pour into the fuel tank and let it clean itself...

what bike? that looks like a big single cylinder, ktm 690?

workshop looks like it does suspension rebuilds....... given the tools.. hahahaha

Not much discussion, because I feel most ppl kena kecam if they mix their tyres. so, usually, just keep quiet - some more I'm mixing brands

I don't encourage ppl to mix tyres, I do it out of curiosity
If anything, I would try Power5 front + Road5 rear

- I could find Road 5 rear on bargain, so I bought 2. Didn't find any fronts.
- I found M9RR on bargain, but before I pasang, the Racetec RR finished until wire showing

I'm hoping, the Road5 finishes fast enough, then I pasang the 2nd one, and then change front and back together. This is probably 20k later. I doubt the M9RR will last that long, maybe 13k~15k at most. I finished the Roadtec01 front in 12k iinm. So, now I'm hanging with the M9RR+Road5 combo. Which is ok, because the M9RR is sports with a little bit of touring DNA to it and the Road5 is a touring with sports DNA on the shoulder compound.

After I'm done with this, I think I'll go back to being 'normal'

if fun factor is big for you, for riding a motorcycle, I would say try not to think about saving money with tyres. if anything happens, saving money on tyres is not worth it

usually, losing the front, you get a lowside; losing the rear, also lowside, but there's a chance the rear recovers and then becomes a highside - thinking along this line, the rear is very important

Since you're on a 400, which is a 110/120 + 140/150 combo, I'd say the tyre cost is not as high. Just go Radial next time, and really enjoy the ride.
I've recently seen a few dudes using Rosso Sport (cross ply) on a 250, and no chicken strips on the front. He is that good.
