      Sorry bro but you guys misunderstood my word. I ain't talking rear tyre lifting up while rear braking. Actually I was talking about body position being straighten up while using rear brake around corner. Rear braking put more traction on rear and less traction on front so less ground contact on front increase the probability of losing front tyre and you know the result. You can compensate losing rear contact but front no remedy. People says its a racing technique but its full of safety measure. Try it yourself and you'll understand what I'm trying to say. Period

      Around a corner, it's best to avoid braking. If it's a smooth corner with no traffic/pedestrians, then you should increase throttle from 4k to 6k gradually on any gear.

      If there is a need to slow down suddenly, it's best to straighten up the bike as much as possible before applying the brakes. If you manage to get it upright, then you should do the normal braking. Otherwise, you should only try to slow down. Full front brake will make your front slip and you'll wreck your face. Full rear brake will lock up the wheel and you'll skid into the wall. Same result. You'll wreck yourself.

      But using the rear brake no way lifts up the bike. Sorry.

        What you're talking about is called trail braking. But I still don't understand how any of the wheels can lift up while trail braking. Kindly explain the scenario in detail.

          Sorry moderator it's not about wheel lifting up, I am only talking about traction of front and rear. You've a pretty much knowledge about these thing.

            Will get it checked asap......as soon a I get home in the weekend.

            Another query. Which is the better engine oil...Motul 7100 or Motul 300V.....have used the 300v once....it was excellent but few people say that it is not made for our bikes and that 7100 is perfect. 300v might cause problem in the long run. Is it such..?? Also what is the drain period of the both. I usually redline in most the gears. The 300v lasted for around 4k kms.

                Hi Mate,

                Both the 7100 and the 300V are Fully synthetic, the difference being, 300V is more equipped to run under extreme high demanding conditions like, constant red-lines and conditions when you are running in post 7-8k rpm most of the time. So loosely translating it serves you exceptionally well if its used for a track environment or extremely spirited riding.

                Both of which is not going to happen in most of our normal riding span/circumstances.

                Now how does it behave under normal riding conditions ? Lubricates well, helps in running the bike cooler as handles heat better, oil doesn't loses its viscosity under traffic riding.

                But the 7100 does the same thing while costing you about 300rs lesser to each bottle, but not as good as 300v on constant redlines, it will lose its lubricating properties faster.

                Using FS oil in Liquid cooled bikes cause no damage in long run, not unless you manage to screw up the oil viscosity rating being poured.

                Try maintain a 15W50 or 20W50 for summers and 10W40 or 15W40 for winters and you are set.

                Any oil be it 7100 or 300v make it a point to drain after 4k-4.5k kms. By then the oil has been used properly and starts loosing its lubricating property, it might run without issue formaybe another 1k but it will not provide its best properties for that long. So do keep an eye on the drain interval. If you do constant high rev riding, try changing as early as 3.5-4k.

                So i guess now it is clear how the need for 7100 and 300v are, you can decide. Hope this helps.

                P.S: 300v is known to spring gasket leaks in pulsars, though its not a common phenomenon, but cases have been documented, its because of the double ester property of the 300v, the 7100 does not cause this problem.

                  Thanks bro......btw the difference between the prices of both is quite less here. Around 200rs. The 300v costs around 1k whereas 7100 costs 800 something. Also the 300v is more readily available here.[emoji16]

                    Then it is just a convenience choice mate.
                    Do note that for touring , consider 7100, it will be more economical in the long run.

                      Thats something I need to consider. I do about 4 160kms ride every month and my monthly running is around 2k kms. 7100 will be better condidering that.
