    After having fully-synth you wont accept regular!
    And btw castrol power1 is useless. It has no major difference.

    • To banglore bikers:
      Is there any problem with custom painted bikes like mine in banglore? With all side mirrors and stuff? If there are problems, then i have to go stock orange soon.(and i really dont wanna do that!)

        i used AGIP as orion is the dealer for AGIP in India, i got oil changed in front of me, after around 40-50 km i can notice that bike is more smooth and has less vibes, sometimes i feel that bike is switched of and then i rev to confirm.

        any idea what is resale value of a year old FZ 16?

            Changing the colour of a vehicle is allowed by the RTO. I don't know if you have to apply for permission or whether you just have to inform them of the change. By changing the colour, you change the registration details of the vehicle, thus involving the RTO.

            In practice, no one will bother until you get caught by the cops or RTO officials for some other reason. If you are polite and cooperative, you should be able to get off easily. If not, they might bring up the colour issue.

                Motul fully-synth costs around 895Rs. And the grade is 15w50 i think. Just confirm before you buy it bro.

                Thanks. Do you know the procedures for the colour change and all?
                I'm blank!

                    Oh yeah. 5-6k surely. I change every 5k, as my bike is used for stunts. So no probs. You pay more than double than ordinary lubes for this, and you can use it for more than double the duration.

                          You should visit your RTO for information. You might someone who's actually helpful! Procedures for such things change from state to state.

                            Hi,

                            Why do you wanna sell the LOTS??

                            Well, the resale value of an year old FZ is not more than 60k depending upon the condition.

                              • Hi,

                                Few days ago someone was eager to goto Castrol Bike Zone at Viman Nagar, Pune for the 7th paid service. I've come across a site complaining the services at this center: Castrol Bike Zone Vimannagar, Pune Complaints - Bad Service, Late Service & Charging Higher rates for the parts

                                Any feedback for this center?
