instead of converting them to DC one can even solder a 1K resistance to the led's long leg and connect it directly in the socket......the leds wont give up.........i am using this setup for past 2 weeks now!

@mach 50: Great that you replied man.....I was thinking I had broken some untold internet forums rule on personal questions.

So, construction contractor\broker is it? First thing that comes to mind when I think of real estate is underhanded stuff, politics and goondagiri and lots of room for head heating......still, it sounds more interesting than my job.


@ bangalore guys: Any idea where I can find motul 3000 plus engine oil? Ive searched most of JC road and kalasipalya but couldnt find it.
+ gulf makes only mineral oil right?

MACH50

Whatever you say,most of it is true......... except that broker part,I am not broker,but I do have to rely on a hundred brokers for a reliable piece of information and conflicting interests too.

Anyway,thanks for the interest(I only din't notice the small question you asked that time )......eventhough if our conversation did not break any forum rules but it does crosses the OT line,so we can keep further personal inquiry strictly on PM basis.

@ Ram
For our commuter type riding condition its good to be on mineral synthetic is like feeding 1 year old baby with chicken kabab,

Mineral oil with JASO MA2 specific standard will work well
Apart from motul or gulf you can try elf4moto or valvoline or castrol (not the active) don't go for shell its bad and agip also not good
For motul the place is off - J C Road shop name is cherry agencies

At ramamoorthy nagar the shop which is opposite to the church has gulf oil.

@ vishnukmd

That's right yaar performance and mileage won't go together

That's why we have bking, hyabusa are performance bikes where slingshot, gs150r are commuter mileage bikes.

@ abhi,
LEDs won't survive for more than a week with A/C power where you can buy a 2.5 mtrs (max) wire to connect pilot lamps to DC by connecting it from the tail lamp.

Converting to full DC makes low battery life and self start problem/ pilot lamps to DC and better head lamp bulb will do good.

It delivers reasonably both mileage and performance for its category and technical specs of the engine.

In the Western countries,Biking is a lifestyle and more than a commuter mileage is watched in measures of miles per gallon( MPG)..............it is expected less on focused sportsbikes like GSX1000R,GSX750R or GSX600R and more on tourers like
Hayabusa or Bandit or on roadsters like Bandit or Intruder cruiser.

But the Hayabusa and Bandit exhibit similar characters very much like our own GS150R,which tries the best of both worlds as per the engine size and configuration.

@mach 50: Sure....but nothing more to say OT for now .....was just curious when you said you had a business......most of the bikers I know (and on xbhp also) are students or techies. Im also an exception but I cant call myself a pakka biker. Anyway it started with your post on angry driving.....if my work itself is irritating enough(Im an illustrator\animator btw), then your biz must give lots of chances to go hothead (considering you deal with many people daily)....so safe riding man. :thumbsup:


@msn1: lol ....I know synth is taboo for me man. I was asking if gulf only made mineral because it is not mentioned on their bottles.

Also, is there duplicate problems in gulf? My gear shifts have gotten hard and notchy since 1st service oil change and engine also behaves erratically sometimes.

I know I know...........250cc and below bikes are for those who do not want to use bicycle or car or public transport for daily commutes.

What only matters in India is the price of these high end bikes and road safety.
I wonder how many bicyclist,cattle herd and trucks I would run into if I ride a S1000RR here like the way I did in Europe !!!
