        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....
        Hey Novice, Petronas and Gulf oil were the reco'ed ones from the Engine oil thread. Shell was also reco'ed. I believe the first too are available in JC road. And the shell ones at their petrol bunks.

            Hmm. I know this question has been asked and answered many times, but I cant help it (especially for the FZ).

            No bad effect on the battery (as its only 12V 5A rated and the HL itself takes in 55W)??

            • See the batt. overall life will reduce obviously but not anything serious.

                  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
                  Mitz thanks for that anyone else used Castrol power1?

                        Hi,

                        I already know that and have been using it since first time I bought this machine. But I can't keep the helmet of my pillion anywhere and have to carry 1 helmet with me always

                          Hi,

                          I had a call with DSG guy and Iridium plug is available there. As I'm in Pune, I called several good stores here before buying the Iridium plug for my bike from Castrol Bike Zone, Shivajinagar.
