        • Hey I just noticed that the new cbz xtreme also has clipon handlebar, I'm pretty sure this should be a direct fit on our uni and it won't be as expensive as the karizma ones too

          • I am going tomorrow to ask the hero companies staff if the handle bar of cbz can be put on honda cb unicorn well shall update here as soon as I get something out from them. Lets hope something can come out. Just the hunt in on otherwise I have pulsar 180 ug3 handlebar in my mind as I remember this one used to get fit properly Atleast it is shorter than our stock handle bar.

                Personally I hate castrol I feel its a useless oil, if u want semi synthetic then best is motul 5100( around 500rs) or cheaper but second best is shell ax7(330rs) and if u want mineral oil then u can try motul 3000, gulf pride or shell ax5 all these 3 are good( within 250rs) and much better than elf. Fuel efficiency might improve but not really noticible as a good engine oil lubricates the engine better and hence less engine strain so rpms will be lower at higher speeds.

                    I second this opinion. I feel Motul is the best and I would rate Shell next to that. I have been using Motul in my Unicorn for over 5 years and it has never felt as good with any other oil. Only once when I wasn't able to get it, I filled in Shell and it felt pretty alright. I used to use Castrol in my Splendor for 8 years and I felt that it degraded very fast.

                        20w50 would be too thick, u can go for 15w50

                          Both 20w50 and 15w50 are thick oils. Any w40 is the best for Honda engines.

                            Yea but since its summer we should avoid any 10wxx oils

                              I am filling Castrol Power 1, 15W-40 SS oil which costs Rs. 350/- now for about 28,000 kms in my GS and for more than 1,00,000 kms in my Suzuki Fiero. Both these bikes are in good condition now.

                              So please explain why Castrol is useless oil.

                              Kindly clarify how the engine rpm of a bike lowers at a specific speed due to using “good” engine oil.

                                Here too I am utterly confused. If you don’t mind, please explain why 10W-xx oil must be avoided if it is recommended by the manufacturer.
