The Motul 3100 20w40 has been my favorite till date! Its a mineral oil and costs around Rs.250.
Picked up a can of Motul 3100 GOLD 20w50 last week for Rs320. Its again full mineral.
Recently changed to Shell AX5 20w40. So this Motul has to wait for sometime!

Actually this should be the switch need to be checked. Remember, if the switch needs to be replaced, engine needs to be opened up.



Using choke is natural, however, I'm running on 3.5 turn on AFR and have never felt to use choke often. I take out my ZMA only during weekend rides, I turn on fuel tap and kick start my bike without using choke, Max 2 kicks and she comes to life.



If I were you would go check and replace the following:-

1. Tyres
2. Consumabales like cables - Accelerator and Clutch
3. Front and rear brake shoe/pads
4. Clutch plates
5. Chain sprocket kit
6. Go for G-Power plug (tried and tested here and costs 140/-) - Some may go for Iridium Plug (500/-), personally I dont like the expensive ones, cause I fell they're less VFM.

What to look out from servicing?
1. Carb cleaning
2. Tappet adjustment
3. Chain tensioner
4. Valves clearance.
5. Fork

Seniors, please feel free to share your thoughts if I had missed any.

I support this .

2. Sound of my Cosworth.

3. The weird noise my tank makes, pay special attention.

The noise is coming from the float I suppose.

I know its the float, and thats whats irritating me. Knowing the root cause and being helpless cause I cant do anything about it. So guess am going to learn to live with it.

And you wont believe what SVC said, its normal and warranty cant be claimed. Only if the tanks full and noise comes it can be considered as a manufacturing defect, so am patiently waiting for someone to explain to me, HOW THE HELL WILL IT MAKE NOISE WHEN THE TANKS FULL!!!
The SVC people are getting stuppider by the minute.

Reminds me of an old hindi song: 'dekh tere sansar ki haalat kya hogayi bhagwas...kitna badal gaya insan'
