And when I shift down to 5th gear at around 35 KMH also it is still there.....

I am not sure if I can explain it that easily....

its more of the feel you get when you drive... I am don't know how to explain it......

Haan.... I can say it is that you feel you are driving in a wrong gear in wrong speed.

Yes!!!!

It was the first service and they did change the oil. As you and others have mentioned the gear shifts are getting tougher as you drive and your engine gets hot......

I am starting to get worried about it now...... I did take it to the airport road service centre yesterday also (second time with in 3 days after I took it back from 1st service) and asked the Service Engineer there (the one who actually does the repair.... forgot his name!!) to drive the bike with me for a longer distance. But the minute he started the bike, he told me that there is something wrong it is not fine. Still I made him drive the bike... he was fully convinced about what I was saying. He has requested me to leave the bike to him on coming Monday for a days time!!!!!

Let me see if things change after that.....

Please suggest me one thing..... Now that I am leaving the bike again.... can I buy some other oil and ask him to put that oil instead of the one they have put 3 days back or leave it with that for now? If I can what oil should I buy?
Please advice......Thanks.

Let the oil be there for now.. since its not free try using it for around 500 or 1000kms. if its really bad then change after 500kms.
About the oil, after 1st service i used SC oil for 800kms approx and then changed to shell advance 20w40 mineral oil.. i could clearly feel the increase in smoothness, which is gone again now that i'm back to SC oil.

by the way, How did you get hold of the mechanic over there ? aren't the mechanics usually on the 2nd floor eith the bikes ?

Atleast can you describe the mechanic so i could go talk to him during the next service ?? (is he the dark, kinda well built, very short hair guy)

Usually i describe the problems to the people in blue shirts but all they do is nod their head and then take your bike for a fun ride !!

@falcon... what is the SC oil it shd be castrol right ?

Cos in chennai they fill power 1 only.

adi231189 · 05-14-2010, 06:53 PM

@thefalcon did you try maybe the Petronos Oil or Motul they are supposed to be good motul especially. Shell Advance i think has started been Produced by HPCl or BPCL not sure though.

I think Motul 300v is costly but try it out maybe it will clear all the problems i have decided if i do go for GS i will be using my own Oil from 1st service itself.

In airport road they fill veedol 20w40 oil.. guess the SC have freedom of choosing which oil they want to use.
veedol sucks for the record. dont ever use it

not sure who producs shell, but since its "shell" the quality will be good, no doubts on that.. and shell oil is developed in collaboration with ducati so you can rely on it.

I didnt try petronas(dont want to eaither, heard that it makes engine run hotter than other oils even though performance wise its good), and motul 300v i cant use as my bike is just done 4300kms..

And you should NOT use synthetic oils right after first service. dont try using 300v till 5000kms atleast if you buy a gs150.
It will cause glazing as your bike is in run in and your engine will get spoilt..

For next oil change i plan on using either motul 5100 or shell advance vsx4. both semi synthetic oild(15w40 grade)..
that is if SC people dont start making a fuss about wrong grade and say i'm spoiling the engine and they'll cancel warranty bla bla..

you can use that no unless it crosses w40 i don;t think any issues,Also try Gulf 4t or AGIP mineral oil they do have motul i think comes in synthetic but you can try those 2 i think they have mineral oils no problems in changing engine oil if it is Mineral oil based even before 5k Kms.

adi.. u grt watching each and every thing of GS

appreciate that

oh so petronas have that prob falcon ? i thgt i will go for it as its the cheapest synth oil.

but i know only Motul dealers in chennai that too thro fellow xbhpian no petronas or AGIP

i cant bug from planet DSH as they adding 200 as shipment charge.

motul is 734 in chennai. so will stick to gulf semi synth for sometime(i will chg from power 1) then after 6-7k on odo will go for motul

even i completed 4k only. so have to wait. what u recommend falcon ? we can change to motul arnd 7 or above 10 ?

Oops i missed to took my camera

Seen a modified [customized] pulsar 150 with mono shocks
Its a good idea and comfortable for the driver but after seeing its backend
i cant stop laughing coz the its way too hight (gap between the wheel and the mudguard is almost Triple that of 135LS gap

pillion rider needs a stool or small ladder to climb and sit on

did any one noticed it in bangalore

lol what can i say i can now probably write a thesis on it just waiting for dazzler to test drive will have another thesis.Just trying to gather all the info i can

Try Gulf 4T my friend used it in Apache on first service it self i has done 4k no engine oil change working good for him.

Motul is costly for sure but is very good.

i cant bear 135 looks itself. many ppl using it without hugger. with hugger its even worse.

im imagining as small ladder tied to one side of the bike for easy access to pillion

lol

did any one noticed it in Bangalore

Hi bro how abt castrol power 1 racing full synthetic Cost 795Rs? I did'nt get feed back frm anyone abt that oil even frm other bikers who tried......that oil...The shopwala tell me 8000km is next oil change if u use these oil(total km to change oil) any body here to tell abt these oil....
My Bike one of the LED(after serving multiple years) gone, i went to shop and found white LED with price tag Rs140(pair),its looking quit different.
10300km i leave it for 6th paid service today,before that to know the milage i put 2.15 ltr(previouslyy use to fill 10.78 for 500Rs and got 49.5 and 50.5kmpl another time but drive mostly excess of 70Kmph speed once touched 100kmph for few km and parked mostly in heavy sun) i gave 120.5km for 2.15ltr means 55.5kmpl,(these time i drove 60plus speed and not parked long time in heavy sun)
So heavy sun taking toll of petrol(vapourize) if u park long time.
My SC mech refused to change LED for pilot lamp,reason that a pair rubber in particular screw is out of stock.
So everytime if u remove all screw we need a set of rubber type bush or something i don't know its true or not ? anyone pls tell me abt these thing
to replace head lamp or pilot lamp a rubber bush needed clarify.....
