  • ^^The castrol bike zone i go to service mostly premium bikes like ZMA etc.
    I went their 4 times they do get lots of unicorns.So i asked the supervisor their which was better uni. or my beloved xtreme.He said both have the same engine but their ARE diff..And he said xtreme is only second to a uni..Another mech. their told me that Honda had filed a case against HH as the xtreme uses the same engine so HH made some changes to the xtreme.How far this is true only gurus here can tell.

    Ok motul update-Their is a considerable improvement in the pulling power
    after using motul.After the mandatory 2km warmup i change the gears @ 6000 to 6500RPM the RPM needle goes their like a hot knife through butter.I no longer feel like i have a pillion the pulling power has increased .I never observed this with the not-so-synthetic CP1R.If i try to maintain 80Km/hr it goes to 90 without my knowledge and i have to look @ the speedo to realize i am doing 90+.I came across this forum where this amsoil dealer admits that motul is one great oil.I cannot agree more

      Good goli. 'Sunne wale hain toh bolne wale kuch bhi bolte hain'. HH is 50% Honda and every bike HH makes is under license from Honda. Honda earns royalty (or what ever it is similar to it) on each bike sold by HH.

              Your back is more important than the side stand bending. Do it as long as you wish. The max that can happen is probably the side stand bending(which also should not happen unless you sit on it with the side stand down), it can be fixed for a nominal cost later.

                Hey no issues on that. U can put it on side stand full time. The R15 doesnt have a main stand for that matter
                When everything comes ur way, u r in the wrong way ;)

                • I'v never been comfy about keeping it on the side stand... and for reasons. Its ok for short durations; but for longer parks, its best to use the centre stand. But then if really gonna be bad for your back... you have to reconsider.

                  • Can we know what were those "reasons"?

                      • I keep my bike on side stand overnight all the time. Never faced any problem.

                        Mr. Oxley, what happened to your back?? Why are you under physiocare?

                          My back muscle have become weak putting pressure on the spine.I was into power lifting when i suddenly turned into a vegetarian but i continued my training with the same intensity as a result my back muscles became weak.
                          I thought if i stopped doing power lifting and give some time for the back to heal itself all will be fine. so sold my Pulsar180 and got myself a unicorn.All was well for about a year no discomfort etc so sold my uni. and got the xtreme and started my training and came to know all was not well.So i am on physio care.

                          BTW why is the site asking me to log in again and again when i post.

                            • Guys, my cousin bro brought a new Hunk yesterday. I rode it. The rearset footpegs felt good. But the handlebar could have been a bit lower. The gear shift felt way too hard while up shifting. The headlight was a bit weak too. And the main problem I felt - The disk brake was too soft. Engine was ok.

                              Now, my question - Will the disk brake improve after a few hundred kilometers? OR are they a bit weaker by design?

                              p.s. - I ride a Pulsar 150 Classic.
                              Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!

                              • The P150 Classic had a disc brake with terrific bite-so much that it made many newb riders fall off!
                                The newer ones are made to be softer, with a more progressive feel. You Classic owners will find it a bit too soft for your liking!
