    3k Easy. Eagerly waiting to try out Shell FS next time. That is only after 6th Service. I've been hearing really good stuff about it (actually their Car oils, but the bike ones also ought to be good).

    I guess you are also on Agip. Did you find any diff b/w the mineral Yamalube and the Agip FS one. When I first put it it looked and felt (and even smelt) the same. I'm kinda doubtful whether Pacer really put Agip FS in it. But top end is super and engine heat is very low. So I'm kinda inclined to believe that they did.

    Anyhow let me know.

        Yup. Check this out:
        Shell Advance - Products - India

        I'm planning on the Shell Advance Ultra 10W40. Thankfully the same grade as ours.

        Cant wait. Yeah the car ones are Helix and Helix Ultra.

              @nand15: Are you using the Yamalube full synth oil? What is the grade&cost? Some details would be helpful.
              I've been using the semi synth Yamalube 15w50&have been changing it every 4K kms.Once I stretched it till 4.5K kms., but the oil didn't go completely bad, even though I toured a lot then. My estimation for the full synth is minimum 5K kms.

                    My FZ has only 110km on the odo. After riding when I go near the engine it makes some kind of faint noises, IS THAT NORMAL?

                                There's a mesh kind of structure inside the exhaust pipe (that's about all that I know about it - that it's there)... the sound is that of the mesh cooling down. The mesh wires criss-cross over each other and upon cooling the wires move rubbing against each other. That's y the tick tick... Its as normal as the sun rises from the east

                                Anyone knows of a Ducati spares outlet in/around Pune/Mumbai? Couldn't get anything on their website
