            I've been using normal engine oil on chain and diesel for cleaning for past 13k km without any issue and total cost for that so far is still less than 10% of the canned lube offered by the dealer

                        P.S: Guys if u remember i had posted about having an air leakage problem on both my tyres , now I had been to the SVC , told them about it , I made the chief mech there check for puncture , valves and also the rim and he found no leakage , but i'm still having the problem , three days it drops from 28psi to 6 or 7 psi (front) and from 33 to about 14psi (rear), really getting annoyed now

                        here's the pic of the bolt
                        check for bent rims on the edges ,they may cause the air to leak out sometimes

                              If there is nothing wrong with the tyre, valve and rims (i hope the rim was thoroughly checked) then i can suspect only vandals. I know that sounds super stupid, but thats all I got dude. Sorry.

                              But its how fast you get up, that matters.....

                              • ok guys so i guess i found out what's happening with my air leakage on the front ... I had washed my bike on sunday and today wen i went out , I saw some soap bubble formation on one part of the tyre , i rubbed it off and few seconds later it re-appeared ... thats got to be the point of leakage , so i've just marked the spot with a whitener ... pic attached .

                                somebody asked what the fz looks like with the fz-s visor but without the side brackets ... pic attached of that too ...

                                EDIT : the above "discovery" , was for the front alone , the same problem occurs on my rear as well , so i have a suspect , pic attached ... this was a puncture that was fixed wen the head of a nail went in first , so at first this covered the entire groove , but after a lot of riding it's like this now , so could this be a cause ?
