    Clutch slip with yamalube 15w50? Are you kidding ? It's the best oil I used in my bike till date.




    Sent from my WT19i
    Thats what i have faced with that oil. After switching to 20W-50 mineral oil, the gear shifts are much smoother and better.

    Wrong info my man!! Clutch slippage will only happen if the rider is using fully synthetic oil made for running car engines. FS oil like Motul 300V have been specially formulated for wet clutch type bikes so there is no such issue. In my case over 11,000 kms with 300V.

    Cheers,
    Thanks for correcting bro. But, car engine oils are different from that of the bike oils.

    I just gave my view on the oil i used.

    Cheerz!!

      Fazer's tank itself is 12ltrs and i hadn't even reached the reserve. that mean there is still at least 1 litre left in tank. so how did he fill 12.6 litres???

      i am posting this to just let out my frustration ...sorry if it violates the forum rules. mods are free to delete it.
      there is always a dead space left when you fill the tank. full tank does not mean pourable volume.. you can check again at another pump next time you fill the tank.

      • I have changed my rear tyre to dunlop tuff grip but suddenly its loosing air its been just 1 week with the new tyre. I just filled up to 35 psi and in couple of days it drops to 28psi. I am not sure if this is common or something is wrong with rim or the rear tyre. In the old tyre i have used soap water to test if there was air leaks where rim and tyre side wall meets. There was no other leak except the old puntures it had. I just changed the tyre still I am facing the air loss. I have already replaced both rims a year back , not wont to go through this again.

          It might be that the tyre is not fitted properly and thats why it is loosing air....

          Again check with soap water for any kind of bubbles near the rim and see if the tyre lines are parallel or not... otherwise you might be having a bend rim or a minute puncture.

          • I guess it looks more like a puncture. Loosing 7PS of pressure is bad. You might have driven thru some bad patch and might have ruptured the tyre unknowingly.

            Its better to get it checked with the puncture guy.

              it might be puntures, very minute.. One time i had 4 minute puntures, caused a lot of problem.. Have it checked !! Of the tyre would face unsymmetrical shape..

                                I was not able to take it to the puncture guy , but I filled up air this wednesday to 35 PSI and again checked air pressure today morning and it was 31PSI. I did the soap test again and couldnt find any leaks . I hope the tyre is to be refitted again properly...
