    That sounds like you are not a "thrashy" rider. To use the common lingo - you dont rip your ride
    So for your riding style, Mineral oil or SS oil should be fine. If the conditions you ride in are hot then go for SS oil or Motul mineral should be fine.

    My riding style is similar to yours. I ride as fast as road conditions permit but I don't ride hard. I've been using Motul 5100 4T SS oil for the past 4-5 months and the oil is excellent!!

    Cheers!!

Had to put in reserve to start. And bike is a bit out of balance too! So, gave to service center. My first servicing. Hope they rectify the issue. What would've been the problem guys?
      Ok the issue was water logging near the front disc. The guy took it apart and greased it. That fixed the issue.
      BTW Do you think Water will seep through the tank?

So, on the right side of the engine(below petrol tank) we have cap to remove and fill engine oil so the same oil will also go for gearbox unit and engine unit. am i correct????
        Yup, the same oil is circulated in the engine and gearbox as well. Also, the oil is used as a cooling medium.

        To fill the oil, you have the cap. To remove the oil, you have a drain bolt under the engine crankcase.

        Cheerz!!

        Yes it does. This creates problem when water is there in the petrol

          Try to fit the front number plate a bit lower, just like the FZ 16, then it will surely look better.

              For matte finish places use motomax dashboard polish. read it somwhere and for paint jobs i am personally using turtle wax hard paste.

              Here in svc they apply some kind of liquid (may b oil..) on the engine.... nd do a wash...nd they have specialized shampoo or smthng....hence the shine.

              I personally use clinic all clear shampoo to wash my bike before wax...... and it does the job till a gud extent

                my bike never starts in a single self.. and sometimes doesn't start without (self + accelerator )
                when the bike was new, it required just a push of a button n go.. but now its like this..
                any suggestions what could be done..
                had changed the spark plug about 6000 km earlier..
                also the battery is fine..lighting n horns.. they work just like earlier..

                    I face the same issue. Although, i have a kick. But, sometimes the self behaves weirdly. A push and wolaaahhhhh its awake and sometimes it coughs up and starts

                      its the same with me.. sometimes it would start with only a slight touch and sometimes it would give me a headace..
                      a kick is also there, but i rarely use that..

                      Ride safe and have fun.

                          Guys, does the engine heat up irregularly if you tie the so called splash guard in front of the engine.

                          Anybody who has used it and has seen engine heating or something abnormality with the use?

                            First service done. Bike is smooth. The guy said me I can go upto 6K RPM without any issue but not to rip it further!
                            Today while I was riding, I found the bike smooth enough but engine sounds like a rocket once I cross 4K or 5K RPM..
                            Is it the Same with you guys?

                              There is no problem if you go further. Just dont overdo it. 3-4 times per week is fine.

                              Yes that happens. Eventually it will become better. You have to start riding a little harder.
