Thanks prateek for the reply

For the engine oil i was thinking of 7100 ester 20w50 motul is it ok or 3100 is better .

prateek when i press foot brake my foot all the way down some times i have to press heel to use the foot brake

bump::

any one which oil is better

7100 ester 20w50 motul is it ok or 3100 is better .

**mayank.travadi** · 03-04-2013, 06:43 PM

300v>7100>5100>3100>3000

this is the orderof motul oils..the first one being the best and the last one being the least best amongst all

if u are a normal sedate rider and dont rip ur bike much...5100 is fine and stick to it....3100 might be a downgrade...

and ask the mechanic to tighten the rear brake pedal at next service..or even a local mech can do it...

The master and slave plugs are hoh different ,but we do have members here who have used the same model one fo both sides without any problems. And fixing the plugs are very easy all together a 10min job for both plugs.

Ideally you shouldn't but many people have went against this rule and used it without any problems. So you are welcome to try it out.

Nothing to screw up really....it's a simple thing. Champions are more than enough. Get the base ngk model and speeds above 60 will be really smooth firing.

Stock one's are good enough. The spitfire cables that are in the market are not useful to us really..it's just a luxury to have for street bikes like ours.

Agree with Krish, use the stock cables..those spitfires will not do any good either
