    So you sold the RC within a couple of months right?
    Yes RC is not at all the city friendly bike only once i have ridden the RC 200 on the roads of hyderabad OO man the bike picks up the speeds very quickly and instantly. I can smoke every single bike on the road even with a slight throttle[emoji16]. But the major CON of the bike is the comfort even with the short drive in the city traffic my back started to pain its not at all meant for the city traffic. The non RC bikes from KTM are better when it comes to comfort driving posture in the city.

    Somone confirm that the sound of bike engine changes in idle when we press the clutch?
    In my bike the sound of engine becomes more smooth when clutch is pressed on idling

    i'll make sure they put sporty premium .. also planning to put my bike on the fi station this time.. rest washing and chain lubing i'll do myself after service at home

    In the next service ask them to use Sporty Premium. You can definetly feel the difference with your bike.

I think the engineer wasn't himself sure if it was actually a problem or normal fz engine sound .. he just gave like a generic answer to my question .. that they'll have to open the engine and see from where the sound is coming .. afterwards I asked about the sporty premium oil and he himself said all your sound related issues will be gone if you use a better quality oil

    I am only sticking to yamalube just because of the warranty .. otherwise I would have shifted to liquimoly or motul in this service .. i also tried getting confirmation from yamaha customer care if using same grade other brand oil will void my warranty .. they simply said your warranty will be void

    As i said optima prime is a SHIT oil it is only good for 700 kms max.
    Were as the sporty premium as it is a FS good for atleast 3K kms max the gear shifts are better & the refinement levels are also best with this oil.
    If you want to try the best oil for the FZ consider LIQUIMOLY oils i bet you wont regret your buying after using them.

    I am trying to build more kms on my odo with yamalube before switching to another oil .. as I am at around 1910 kms

    let me know your experience with sporty premium .. did you see any difference between optima prime and sporty premium yet?
