Hi all,

I have had four punctures on my Bear 650 rear tyre in the past four months (3600 km done so far). The last one was last week, and as I type this, I'm sitting out in the boondocks waiting for a truck to come pick my bike up. Each time it has been a nail or a large thorn. The absence of a centre stand makes fixing a puncture a real pain, especially since there is no tubeless option for the Bear. I own four other motorcycles, and I have never had a similar issue on any of them.

I have the stock MRF Nylorex installed at the back. The rear tyre looks absolutely fine to the eye. Do you all think there could be something wrong with my tyre that could render it more puncture prone?

TLDR: 4 punctures in 4 months over 3600 kms. Is my rear tyre made of chewing gum?

I am planning to install FuelX lite and Easyclutch pro for my Bear 650, anyone of you tried them? What are your thoughts?
I also plan to get an BMC Air Filter and Iridium spark plugs combo too
What are you guys’ thoughts?

Hey everyone!

I’m running a BMC performance air filter, free-flow exhaust, and a de-cat on my Bear 650. The bike feels like it’s running too lean now, and I’m pretty sure it really needs an ECU remap.

The issue is I don’t want to mess with the warranty yet, so I’ve been considering a FuelX Pro+ as a temporary solution. Wanted to know what you guys think about it from actual experience.

Would the FuelX Lite be enough for my setup since it’s almost half the price, or is the Pro+ worth spending extra on for intake + exhaust mods like mine

I know FuelX isn’t a perfect solution and doesn’t work across the full rev range like a proper tune or piggyback ECU, but I’m thinking of using it for now and upgrading to a piggyback ECU later when I’ve saved up some money.

TIA!

Hi folks. I wanted to check which handlebars I can go for. I’ve already installed moto torque handlebar riser and it’s still not comfortable, there’s a bit of lean.

I saw KTM 390 Adventure’s Handlebar, and SM650’s too. Does anyone have any experience and suggestions on this?

TIA!

​Hi everyone,

​I’m looking to convert my Bear 650 to a tubeless setup. Since the stock tyres are already tubeless-ready, I’m debating between sealing the existing spoke rims or replacing them with aftermarket alloys.

​I’ve dealt with three punctures in the last six months, and between the bike's weight and the lack of a center stand, it’s becoming a massive headache.

Has anyone here successfully sealed their Bear 650 rims, or is there a reliable aftermarket alloy set you’d recommend?

Hello everyone, I’m planning a bike ride from Mumbai to Goa, stopping in Udupi. I’m going with my partner, so I need to buy some bike accessories. Here’s what I’m thinking:

1. Bike accessories: I’d like to get top racks and side racks.
2. Should I put a top box or bags on the bike?
3. I need a new jacket for my female rider and a helmet for both of us.
4. I’m thinking about getting a tubeless kit for my bike.
5. I should also carry some emergency items.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or additional items I should consider. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
