    Congrats. Finding a good svc is a challenge... I usually get around ~800 without oil change... Bajaj oil is cheaper, while other oils are costlier. Based on kms and years, find the corresponding services and spare replacement from user manual.... Approach Bajaj svc and give a try once. They will also provide an estimate of your bill. With ASS you will get the spares quicker and cheaper... Compared to local workshop..

    Motul inugel is used for coolant and you can use the same. Big ASS {main dealer} will not charge you extra for these, but they will care least as they have to clear more free services per day.... Where as small svc {distributor} may charge you little extra but do care well mostly...
    Actually ASS charge more for spare parts as for my older beast P220 I've bought spare parts (genuine) from a local dealer and at very low compared to SVC

      Thats interesting... Local dealers usually get the same through main dealers and hence add up some profit, esp when Bajaj does not hold stocks...

        ODD reading is 15010kms. Which parts should be changed now?
        Also bike is vibrating very much, I dont have idea about NS as I have bought recently, dont know whether its a problem or NS vibrates that much.

          Want to know how much a regular service costs at SVC and is it better to get serviced only at SVC?
          The liquid used for the liquid engine cooling system is actually what? I mean can I buy it from some store for self refilling as I know company will charge approx double
          ...

            Buying a second hand bike is a patience taking job, don't be too fast just check all the things, most imp is the engine it should be sealed without any heavy engine work done. In addition look for the tyres conditions, speedometer, both brakes, cooling system( working or not), and that all. First try to get a test drive of a new NS of any of your friend so that you can get an idea how much power it deliver, its pickup, engine sound n all so that u can compare it.
            And its YASIR

If that doesn't solve, there is nothing you can really do other than replace the console... And I'm sure that you cannot claim any warranty for this, given the Bajaj service guys hospitality....

              If you are so curious and in need of this, get a digital watch, remove the strap and stick it in dashboard... My friend has done it easily on his Unicorn...
              I don't think console replacement will solve it either. Because a lot of people are facing the same problem, so a faulty console won't be the problem; else it could be the entire lot.

              Nice idea about the digital clock, but even I don't need to read time always. It's maybe just my OCD.

                    Thats not possible . U r asking about two different things . For smoothness use motul 5100 . Which will somewhat reduce the pickup. For pickup use motul 7100/ 300v which r more vibration prone .

                      I had discussed the same thing earlier in this thread. I got better reviews for motul 7100 20w50. And @levintt (not able to tag him) mentioned that 7100 could cause engine gasket leaks and is a common known problem. Apart from that, haven't heard any bad reviews.

                        5 months and 13k kms on 7100 never had oil leakage from gasket

                          I live in a area where no one hardly knows about MOTUL. For every dealer local brands are best for any bike whether its splendor or P220. Not there fault as they are never exposed to high brands. Anyways the ques is that I can get only castrol power 1 or yamalube oil in the 20w50 (synthetic) segment, so which should I prefer?

                              Even I have changed it to 7100. Except from [MENTION=69537]levintt[/MENTION] haven't heard or read about it anywhere. But because [MENTION=69537]levintt[/MENTION] has warned us, let's keep a check.

                              Like @kany1991 said, Try online at amazon. If amazon doesn't operate at your place, any of your friend/fellow-Xbhpian from delhi can help in getting it couriered for you.

                                Synthetic oils eat through rubber that doesn't meet required specs. If you by chance got second grade rubber for any part that comes into contact with synth, you're done. Bajaj outsources rubber parts, so you have to count on your luck. Not the oil's fault.
