Saptagiri Suzuki (Rajkumar Road, Bengaluru) doesn't have Motul-3000 in stock.. they've only SERVO!!!!

Will be going to Millers Road Suzuki for my next service.

Observations:

1 - Haven't noticed any rusting at the mouth of my Tank yet.
2 - Gear shifting is smooth now to be honest.

Query :
Assuming you hit a signal uphill (25 to 30 degree steep) and come to stand still, can you please explain how to handle the first gear in this situation(front/rear break with clutch and throttle)? I knock it off often..

Thank you

Since your bike has not run that much, It is OK that you did not change the oil. But make sure that once you cross 500 or 600 Kms in the odo you change it. You should be able to get Motul in B'lore. There is some thread which gives all the contacts of Motul distributors in India. Can some one find it for me ? You can find the B'lore contact there.

@ handling 1st Gear uphill - Use the disc while stand still and put on the first gear. Raise the throttle a bit to say 2000 rpm and then try to release the clutch slowly. You can feel the bike moving forward and and your disc stopping it. Now release your disc and proceed. This comes by practice so dont get frustrated if it stalls the first time. Later, you can control uphill standstill by your clutch itself [along with your foot on the ground] with no use of the brakes. That will be good experience when you are driving a car uphill from a stand still. Bike shold not be a problem for you.

Just calculate 10 liters of 62 bucks fuel and 10 liters of 38bucks fuel.The amount that is saved is very evident then.

And see, how different is the price of petrol in these two countries, as Mach50 pointed out.

yes..it is still JUST 38 RUPEES..we can fill the tank with around 700 rupees...

... it is so much tax that makes our petrol price much higher...i'll post the tax information later..

Motul is a good oil their is no doubt about it,

But for you the next oil change interval should be sooner that's some where in 1500 kms or second service.

So its better to go with a normal oil such as castrol or svc oil, because those oils are bad enough to make your engine mate well during the run in period.

Moreover you won't realize the full effect of motul oils goodness as your engine itself is new so wait till at least 1500 kms and try motul.

This is my humble Suggestion; and everything is left to your decision

That is for consumables like grease/fixing small nut/bolt/washer, oil filter lasts engine life ! Labour charge is 'zero' during free services.
