    Hi,

    Haven't been to this thread for a long time. So sorry if I am repeating the same question.

    What petrol brand would be best for our bikes?

    Heard lot of comments in favour of both unleaded and power/premium ones. Plus shell seems to have it's own fan following.

    Please let me know your thoughts 😊😊

      Petrol sold across India is unleaded, expensive fuel like power/extra premium/speed all these are added with additional additives like cleansers.

      Gixxer will run fine with normal unleaded petrol just as it would with above mentioned expensive ones. Won't make any noticeable change, rather I have come across it causing harm than good on lower capacity bikes like Gixxer, FZ (don't recall exactly which it was though)

      People prefer Shell because fuel quantity and quality is usually good there.

      Cheers

              Yes ! The first suggestion is that you should read the manual book that came with your bike. You are not supposed to run your bike over 4500RPM for the first 1500KM.. But it seems like you have already pushed the bike and opened full throttle already.



              Please go to your service center and explain what you have done and ask them to check the condition/compression and maintain according to their suggestions.

                    Quoting Myself from Slingshot Thread for Background

                    Apart from a chainset and cone raiser which was changed before 15000kms and the disc brake issues which where never rectified, rust was the only major quality issue i faced.

                    So finally decided to say adieu and buy a new one. I wasn't sure which bike to buy but i was sure it will not be a Suzuki and i started to search for new bike.

                    After trying NS,P150,180, hondas and apache, i almost got fixed on Apache 180, but the ABS version has a minimum booking of 6 Months and there is a high chance for the model to be withdrawn. So confused and indecisive i visited Suzuki showroom and fell in love with Gixxer , Booked using Paytm Cash back offer of Rs.3000 (less 500 convenience charges) and I'm getting Delivery of my Gixxer SP 2017 tomorrow

                    But HEll YEAH,for 6 years ....It Never Let Me Down & We went places....

                    ps:Slingshot is not being produced now.

                    Edit: Sorry for not replying to above post, Not replying now as it is very old

                    So Guys, Please suggest me a Rain Cover and seat cushions if available online, i scrolled through some hundred pages but couldn't find any suggestion.
