    The engines over heating probably coz the Oils life is over.

    and DONT USE W50 OILS!!!!
    SVC has only W50's and dont use them....never change the W40 value!!
    eg.you can use 5W40,10W40,15W40,20W40...but nothing tht ends with W50!!!

        Well i guess generally the bike gets smoother as time passes..not sure.

        anyway stick to MOTUL 5W40,10W40,15W40 Semi-synth...get 15 if not 10 if not 5...20 isnt available.

          and the proj. is progressing...i finally removed the P220's reflector frm the dome and took the Projector out,i have to try it my spare FZ reflector first but its crazy hard to remove FZ's reflector frm its dome!
          hey how hard is it to separate the dome from the reflector??? i was thinking of installing angel eyes in mine.....

            well it should be pretty easy if your heating in an Oven or using a heat gun.
            im using a steamer! so its pretty hard..but in P220,the glue is easily visible hence easier.

                after removing the dome by heating do we need a sealant or glue to put it back in place or just heating again will do?

                  i think silicone sealant would do a good job.. but the experienced ones on this could give more info.

                    I know it is not the recommended grade. Any bad experiences with W50?

                      Heating it back will be enough.Just make sure tht you dont take the adhesive out while removing the reflector!
                      and before mounting and riding,jst make sure it doesn't fall off! :P

                      i have only tried it once,no bad experiences but what i understand is tht in the long run it can harm the engine.

                              Searched for Motul 10w40 today but no luck.....search is still on......
                              any other COMPETENT semi-synth u know of could help me....
                              although Motul is my preference 10w40 is kinda unavailable....

                                what's your feeling on the power 1 when you used it?
                                There was'nt much difference initially for about 50 kms after changing the oil so i was bit disappointed but after almost 400 kms of riding the bike, i can surely feel the difference as follows:
                                1) Engine is much more silent then before when i was using yamalube
                                2) Top speed has marginally increased by 5 kms
                                3) Acceleration is much much better, pulls great even in 4-5th gear
                                4) However engine does heat up more then before (No idea why)
                                5) But there is surely a drop in mileage from 38 kmpl to 33 kmpl (maybe this is due to my 2nd free service)

                                PS: I & my frnd (FZ-s owner) switched oil to castrol power1 simultaneously last month & gotta tell u that we both are much happier with it then we were with yamalube
