I was thinking about it all along and found that the pilot lamps can be connected to the rear no. plate illumination light. They are direct on to the battery and comes ON only when the headlight switch is on. Change the pilot lamps and the rear no. plate to LED and the total usage will be max 3W. The stock rear no.plate bulb is 5W, so no load on the battery. All we need is a piece of wire and some some cutting and taping


I had answered this on page 494.

Hey how many kms have you used the petronas oil till now ??
Whats your experience so far with it ?

My bike has run about 4500-5000kms till now and i'm really tempted to shift directly from my mineral oil to the petronas due to its price.

Also can you tell if you changed the oil filter as well while shifting to this oil.
And if you poured 1litre or bought 2 bottles for that extra .1l(with new filter)

And also what do you feel about the engine heat ? i remember reading in engine oils thread that bikes run hotter with this oil. is it true ?

In short, the mod performs best . Great illumination with upper as well as dipper, overall good visibility. Highly recommended.

On a side note, one sad news. Some a$$shole stole my crampbuster . Have to buy that thing again.

I have run some 780kms after the oil change. I'm very happy with the oil. The gear shift has become so smooth that I shift gears with only my big toe, even when I ride without footwear sometimes accross the street. The gears engage both sides even when the bike is at standstill from 1to4. It does not go to the 5th and 6th.
The engine is super smooth and freely reving.
I did not change the oil filter. Will change it next time.
About the engine heat, I dont know really. The engine is smooth even after long rides. I'll keep an eye on it and post it here. I'm going to pune on the bike this thursday. Will get a chance to examine the engine oil performance in the ride.

Can't mention it any better. Looking forward to your trip on Thursday. I have a small doubt about the transmission.

Having ridden FZ and Uni, GS don't have a precise feeling in gear. Finding neutral is much easier in them and also on hard braking in FZ one can just pull the clutch and change gears all sudden. But for our GS if we dont do a sequential shifting we are stuck at some gear. I felt as if the gear engaging collar have few engaging teeth than them. So this can be removed by using fully synthetic oil rite..........

@anup i heard of this earlier also and asked my friend who owns a GS yes atlast found someone in my ring who has this. I asked him some queries he is good with bikes he had the same issue he told whenever he like stopped very fast the gears don't come down quickly.He Told the SVC but couldn't get it to solve so he shifted to a new engine oil Semi-Synth and he told it worked.

Now regarding neutral i found GS to be more better than Apache atleast i had some issues with apache Regarding Uni didn't find any difference but my Ride with all these vehicles has been in Short stint.


P.s Went to the Suzuki Showroom the Guy didn't have the Dual Tone Blue i couldn't see it at all told me to comeback in few days time. When i think i am going to book this something goes wrong lol
