    Close your eyes and go for the ax5 if you want to use a 20w40. The one thing i noticed between the 10w30 and the 20w40(ma, mb...used em all) is that the scoot revved a little more freely on the 10w30. The important thing is to change oil regularly every 2500km / 6 months whichever is earlier for a healthy engine.
    Ok bro..what's your opinion on shell ax7, gulf pride 4t plus and valvoline champ 4t 20w40.
    The reason why i was preferring mb grade oil is bcoz it contains friction modifiers which will reduce friction more then ma or ma2 grade oil.

      Hi guys.
      Is it possible to fix telescopic front forks of aviator/activa125 into Activa 110.
      Its always better to sweat than to bleed. Wear helmet.

        have never used the ax7 on the dio but used it on other motorcycles. Its a good oil too. But i feel that shell ax5 is more vfm and does a good job.
        replace oil every 2500km and the scoot will be just fine. As for the other oil brands, I haven't used them..and i think they will be ok too. What's important is regular oil change with appropriate grade.. most oils will do their duty without complaining on these small scoots.

          Yes it is possible, but asc won't do that ,you have to find experienced local mechanic..it is Labour intensive work with a lot of modifications..

              nope, never had any cold starting issues till date. i live in Hyderabad (i leave it up to you to decide if its 'cold')and the dio's first start of the day is always around 4.30-5am.
              and i mostly use the kick on cold starts, but now i ride the dio less often and my dad who uses it for short runs always uses the selfstart.. never had a problem either ways.

                  One sad news,

                  My Activa 2005 model got stolen, 12 days already past, already reported to police immediately after this incident.
                  Mostly my sister was riding all the time.
                  And just few months engine work was done. Infact , it was running better than new after such an excellent engine job.

                    Apparently, more than just a coincidence, don't you think?

                      No, Not possible at all.
                      1. He is some 10-12 kms far away from my home.
                      2. He doesn't know where I live and my sister's workplace.
                      3. He earns 3-4 times more in a month than present value of Activa.

                      1% Probability can still be considered in the above case.

                      2 weeks back before incidence activa was serviced at Honda ASC. The service advisor was surprised to see the oil condition on 2800kms run oil. He said its just 700-1000km old and no need to change. So, I had to speak to him to change it.

                      10% probability to above.?

                      I am still waiting for police to start taking action. CC TV clip can be easily obtained for that parking area.

                        Good luck man.
                        A new TVS Wego of a college junior of mine was thieved during daylight when he left keys in it and took groceries inside. I didn't ask how he followed it up with the police of Vijayanagar(BLR).
                        He bought another one.

                          sorry to hear about this unfortunate incident.
                          forget your assumptions on who would have stolen it.. get the cctv footage ASAP (in most cases cctv footages are overwritten over a period of time due to limited disk space, at some places its as low as 3 days and up to a month of retention) and try to have police really involved.
                          Did it have insurance ?

                            And the only significant piece of equipment that gave up over these past 8 yrs of my ownership of the dio was its RR unit a couple of months ago. A new one was around 500rs IIRC... motul's 3100
                            How does one come to know that the rr unit has 'given up'. What are the symptoms if I may ask ?
                            (because I found the info on the forum on this particular problem a bit confusing)

                              With any cheap multimeter ( voltage-ohm meter commonly used in hobby electronics ) test the voltage at the battery terminals with the bike kept idling and also when revved . If the voltage you see is varying around 12v DC to 14.5v DC , RR is okay . i.e it is rectifying the AC current generated by the bike's alternator to DC , and also regulating it to the correct voltages needed to charge the battery .

                              yes very unfortunate indeed , and damn bad that it had to be when the bike's running very nice . Hopefully , you'll get some insurance reimbursement ?

                                A rr unit that's given up will cause you battery to go dead. If you recharge the battery, it will again go dead in a couple of days.
                                And that leaves you wondering 'yeh kya hora'
                                So [MENTION=29030]Pinaki[/MENTION] pointed out, you will need a basic multimeter to check the voltages at the battery.
                                a. attach the multimeter leads to the respective battery terminals and check the voltage with the bike on idle... voltage should be around 12.5 to 13V
                                b. rev the engine to around 5000rpm, and you should see the voltage increase by around 1V, i.e. to around 14V
                                If the voltage is not going up, then you might have a faulty RR unit.
                                Now remember, a faulty stator coil might also cause the battery to go dead, and hence a simple way to know if its the RR unit or not would be to swap it with a working one from another bike and measure the voltages as mentioned above.
