The best chain clean and lubricant is Motul... i am not using it coz its way too costly(450Rs for each)...
other method is use kerosene/diesel to clean the chain and use a SAE140 gear oil to lube it... this is the method i am and many others using... its the most cost effective lubing for chain...

For cleaning the chain you can use good old kerosene if you can lay your hands on some, if not, then diesel will also do. Never clean the chain with the engine running though, some people found this out the painful way. Just rotate the rear wheel manually.
For lubricating the chain I personally use a locally made chain lubricant spray(Costs around Rs250, don't remember), Motul or some reputed brand would be even better. Still, I find that using a chain lubricant is much better for the chain, it lasts longer(from what I can tell), and most of all it attracts less dirt than if you were to lubricate it with oil.

Hmmm good... if you are using the Motul then 500kms will be ok... but if you are going for others i think lubing at around 250-300 will be good, don't think others will last for more than 300kms...

Am thinking of putting Osram NB...
For those who have installed, do u suggest I go for 90/100W or the 55/60 is more than enough??

Hi Guys..I recently moved to Noida from pune and gave my Fazer for servicing (3rd Free) to only service centre in noida ( JM motors Sec 10) and they completely screwed it... The tuning is screwed badly and engine gets switched off in traffic. It is taking more time to get started..generally it taeks 1-2 sec..now its taking 3-4....Stand is deviated and when i take a sharp turn it touches road..I think they just washed it and gave it back to me..I am highly dissatisfied...pls let me know any service centre where you are satisfied..in Delhi or GHaziabad. Pls recommend

I remember the first time I ever rode a bike, it was my father's 91' model RX100. Ah, brings back fond memories.
Too bad 2-strokes are almost extinct now. Nothing like the raw feeling of a screaming 2-stroke engine to stir up your loins.
Doesn't matter how much faster the new 4-strikes are, or better they handle, there is something unquantifiable about riding a 2-stroke.
