My Odo reads 7708 kms now. I have narrowed down my search for Engine oil to Motul - 7100 20W40 or Shell Ultra Advance 20W40 . Suggestions and recommendations are welcome. Hoping that directly switching from Mineral to Fully-Synthetic oil has no adverse implications.
Bought 3M's Chain cleaner and it works just fine as Motul Chain Cleaner which I previously owned. Amazon sells it.
I noticed sticky grease near Engine head during bike wash. Took my Bike to SVC, the valves were replaced, costed INR 43.
Riders, please be careful, Gixxer's engine's oil capacity is 950 ml when oil filter is changed/ 850ml when oil filter is not changed. Please ensure that SVC mechanic doesn't pour the entire 1L. The valve problem can be attributed to it which I found after riding nearly 1500 kms.
It is surprising but please advisee them on:
- Not use mobil/engine oil to lubricate chain
- Use correct measure of engine oil
- CO testing and RPM setting during every service
Often I have observed that SVC guys are negligent on above pointers.
Cheers!
