After all searching and failing for Castrol racing Power 1, i settled for Mobil1 0W40 full synthetic oil. The bike is now a bit sluggish but smooth over high RPMs. Any idea how to judge Engine's health? Does a dyno reading indicates anything substantial ?

setuniket

Pundrick,is the oil JASO MA ..if yes whats the full name, I have got hold of a Mobil Dealer in Noida and his product sheet doesnt mention any synthetic oil for 2wheelers in India.

pundrick

Mobil 1 0W-40

I am not sure if it is JASO MA.

@pundrick

Did you try the castrol oil dealer in himayathnagar??

last week when my friend enquired abt it he said it would arrive in 5 days!

I am on 10W40, but really for our conditions the 20W50 made more sense....
Oh BTW I have a broken handle bar weight on my RTR, and that thing some how is making me do power wheelies! (ok no exaggeration but good small poppies)

Did I fk upped the TPS? or is it something else....
One more thing, the Throttle remains stuck at the RPM i take it to...! a La Cruise Control Style!

@sp

let me know how u did it....i want power wheelies too

satyenpoojary

I fell at 5KMPH (bloody tyre slip in muck... hate those rubbers now)

the Bar weight is now half in and half out, that causes the struck throttle syndrome.....i am not doing anything new, but still the bike jumps as if i did a clutch-less shift! I got no clue on what messed up!

I didn't check there. lets wait and hope it comes there. BTW Normal Power1 has no SAE rating written on it. Any clue why it is so?
