  • Reg Oil change

    Guys im planning to change the engine oil this weekend.. my free service is due on feb 1st week.. and odo is arnd 9800km.. i guess the oil filter needs to be changed at 10K...

    will they be removing all the engine oil at that time and pour in new oil during service?? so if im changing the engine oil now, will that be wasted???

      BTW how much was your previous FE and top speed on Stock?

      Take it on a open highway and let us know if there is any difference in the top whack.
      well well well , I don't think "all" of us are getting mileage above the 40kmpl mark ... anyway that is just what i'm getting now , the way i ride i used to get around 37-43 ... in that range .

      Top whack was 121kmph ...
      People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

        My mistake it should be "MOST" . For you this FE is better than the old one.
        BTW 121KMPH was all or was there any more left for you to try??

            This speed with a pillion is good. Let us know when you try it and you don't have a pillion.

                  They will change it only at any of the oil change aka free service. Won't change oil for the sake of filter change.

                          Thats the Yamalube mineral oil you are talking about. I want to know the price of SS Motul 20w40.

                          Check the chain play and trye pressure. You can easily reach 122 KMPH on stock on a nice road and too sitting straight.

                              Guess Motul costs 'bout 450-500 bucks and Agrip 600-650.

                              hmm will look on chain but the tyre pressure has always been well. i've always struggled after 106 - 110. feels like a uphill task to go any further.

                                What is your current ODO reading? Also make sure you get the air filter clean regularly. I follow some basic maintenance routine between the service and thats why I always get around 40 KMPL at thrash mode and my bike easily reaches till 120 KMPH every time I rip it. But most of the times I run out of road so was not able to test it further. But then too max I guess it will go till 123-124 KMPH sitting upright.
