    Meh, IMO the only fuel additive you really need is an occasional fuel injector cleaner. The higher priced petrols in India (eg BP Speed) have these mixed in already. Otherwise I use something like STP. I also ran a couple of tankfuls with HEET once when I got some water in my tank. I don't know if the HEET did any good, but I don't think it did any harm.

    Oil additives are snake oil, especially if you are using a good quality synthetic oil. Just use a high quality engine oil.

    Amaron eyes closed. Sonic is the next best alternate.

    Hi, first time posting here.

    My 2013 Repsol CBR has been lying idle for a week or so straight thanks to the lockdown in Bangalore. I took out the batteries today to recharge them. Having used it for an hour or so after, the bike stalled twice. After stalling, the ignition would stutter for a bit before switching back on. Both times the bike stalled while moving. Any idea what may be wrong? The bike was serviced quite recently.

    Thanks in advance.
    If the bike fires up perfectly and stalls again, and the starter motor has trouble cranking the engine after each stall, it's a sure shot sign the battery is either weak or not holding up the charge enough to provide enough juice for the electricals.

    Query: My battery is almost 3.5 years old. Do you guys think it is time for a change? Startup still takes a single push of the starter. However the last time the bike was serviced (last December), the service mechanic advised changing it after doing an amperage test. Open circuit voltage (no-load) shows ~12.4v. Idle voltage is ~14v at 2500 RPM. Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.
    Battery is weak. Replace the battery, though it will last another couple of months, but eventually it will give up.

    I am looking for a Led bulb for my cbr250r.

    Is it worth going for Cyclops Led 10.0 ultra which cost 8k over Nighteye led which cost just 2400rs for a pair ?
    CYCLOPS are a great pair of bulbs and use good quality chipsets. You can also try Aliexpress for similar bulbs, which you can source for cheaper prices.

    Cheers!
