So the oil character did change after just 2k km

.....

Then i think u ought to keep an eye on the oil level even after this oil change......

And howz the engine behaving now after putting 20w50 than the earlier 10w40....
I mean the revving, sluggishness, temperature etc....

one way it took me around 12 hours and 30 minutes including butt breaks, breakfast, lunch, refilling time, traffic in the city, jams on the highway and yes of course the all necessary tea breaks....

my bike is running on semi synth motul 15W50 the same which is used in r15.

halts i took whenever needed.... for fuelling i preferred maharashtra as the petrol is 3 rs cheapen over there....

Wow.....12.5 hrs is a long journey...how did you manage it all alone without getting bored....

BTW what was your average speed during journey....was it mostly below 100 or above it or just that....

Did the engine show any signs of stress at anytime????? if so, when?

OH MY GOD..guess what??The oil I assumed to be 10w40 agip racing 4t is infact the same as yours...20w50

..I really need to check what grade I am buying..OMG man
Now I have a real problem..there was 10w40 agip FS oil in the bike..which had reached below minimum level mark..so I,thinking that this was the same grade..used it to top up

the oil,that too twice..it has lasted nearly 4k kms..I hope my bike's engine is fine..
Now there is almost 200ml in the bottle(as there are 5 "layers" on the bottles design,the oil nearly fills one of them)
Should I buy another 1L of 20w50 and change the oil??

Relax.....dont get so nervous.....your engine will be fine...

Assuming you did this for the first time it wont get damaged....
Both are Agip synthetics....so the 20w50 will get a little diluted by the 10w40....

Although mixing differnt grades is not recommended, it would have been a problem if you mixed two different brands of oil....

But what is worrying is that from your post we could see the engine oil level decreasing fast.....
even nand15 had reported the same using the same Agip oil....

cheers...

Hello fellow bikers,
I bought my FZ-S in September 2010.....Its ride was very smooth in the beginning but as time passed by it became rough....n now after my 6th and final free service, the ride has become very rough and the engine gets a lot of hiccups during the ride(especially when I shift from the 2nd to 3rd gear)....I told this to the SVC guys but according to them the bike is fine.....
What might be the problem?

I now put in 15w50 and the bike is roaring again ... In a good way that is .

I would also say that the drop in oil was about 150ml and is due to my ignorance of the fact that when the filter is changed 1.2L and not 1L is to be added . rectified it this time

Hmm..thanks for the reassurance man..now a new problem

I went to orion bangalore to buy the 20w50 agip and they were out of stock..I have been running this mixture of oils for the past 4.5k kms...still brownish,no dip in level but I want to replace it fast!!
Guys in Bangalore do you know of any other dealers of agip oils?

How cold is too cold to notice that ?

here the lowest it can get to is about 13 degs , so would I feel the w50 ? as I have no plans to change the oil till about 20K kms ... I'm currently at 16.4K kms .

I had same problem few days ago but with the service my local mechanic took care of it. Didn't notice what he did on the bike. Only thing I can suggest is go to get your bike checked with an expert rather than believing the svc people coz they always ask to do replacement rather than giving solutions.

on the roads with heavy traffic you hardly get any time to get bored.... besides i used to switch on songs on my cell phone for sometime.

i averaged around 55kmph for the entire journey.
besides that the speeds were in the range of 70-80kmph due to not good road conditions and traffic all along.

no signs of stress from the engine.... no overheating nothing.

may be because of low battery water
check the battery water level and clean the contact of the connectors
i dont have much idea about the fork lock
