  • [QUOTE=itssaurabh.negi;722592]So should i check for nitrozen at HP Petrol pumps in my city?[/QUOTE

    Those nitrogen filling stations are run by some private agencies/parties.not HP or BP in my place.but located inside petrol bunk itself.

      • Did 3rd service yesterday at 5.5k..
        shifted back to 10W30 from motul 20W40.. the difference is obvious.
        20W40
        - sluggish pick up
        - poor mileage
        - lower vibes, runs cooler
        10W30
        - crisp and sharp throttle respns
        - better mileage (hopefully)
        - increased/normal vibes

        am loving the stock oil..

        one more thing..
        valve tappets have gone little bit loose and is making a slight noise. (only i can feel it, that too wen going down hill). Told the SVC guy to see to it, but he didnt. Is it a serious problem that I gotta worry about..? I mean, shud I get it corrected..?q

          You mean sluggish performance during morning or full sluggish performance?

          Get it adjusted and if you wish,You can do it yourself. Check the DIY section for Tappet Adjusting of ZMA-R.

            No matter morning or noon, cold or hot, that oil made my bike feel sluggish. I noticed it when I rode my friends Hunk just as old as mine and I was like WTF..!!
            After the service, its much better, but not fully back to its old glory.
            Is it the tappet that causes problem..?

              Have you cleaned airfilter?Checked spark plug? Changing oil to 20W40 alone will not reduce your bikes mileage and power.

              Is it the tappet that causes problem..?
              a small nik nik nik sound which increases with acceleration? Then its tappet sound.

                  Check it first before finalizing that motul oil is bad.

                    Will do it soon.
                    SVC here are just too busy and crowded. Is it safe and ok to get the tappets adjusted by a local mech..?

                      Go to svc and fix a date with them and give the bike in time,They will do.
                      Its safe only if the local mech is an expert in this.

                        I prefer svc for tappet adjustment and carb tuning.whereas for air filter cleaning chain cleaning and engine oil change i prefer local mech.as i want these things done in my presence.
                        My personal choice,not mandatory for others

                          me too feeling the same, without oil change, engine sounds little more than before. may be its tappet or i just need to switch to 10W30

                            Yeah,Stock bulb with yellow light is the best and coming to HID's anything above 4300k is illegal in india.

                              • Hi Guys,

                                The worst nightmare of every midsegment biker has hit me...
                                385 on Odo & my bike returns a mileage of 27.76 kmpl . guys i calculated it twice full tank to full tank. The last observation: trip meter 111km, litrs of petrol that went in 4 litrs. I dont know how to react but my friend's CBR250 gives him 28-29kmpl . my details mentioned below:

                                Tyre prsr: 29 front 31 rear (50% pillion 50% only rider)
                                Gear shifts: changing gears at 3.5 rpm
                                max speed 40km/hr on 5th or 4th gear.
                                1st gear: 0-15
                                2nd gear: 15-22
                                3rd gear: 22-32
                                I shift to the 4th gear at around 34km/hr and cruising at 40 on 5th.

                                Do let me know am i doing some drastic mistakes while driving? or my bike has some issues?

                                at the bottom of my mind i have a slight doubt that the petrol pump guy might have made a fool out of me coz both the time i filled in petrol from the same guy and heard that he is into adultration of fuel...going to try a different petrol pump but then thats a remote possibility of fixing this issue

                                I am sorry if all this was answered in the previous pages, I am pasting this in a hurry...
