  • [QUOTE=punarvasu;781254]I am not trying to promote or demote any oil but pointing out the meaningless or baseless claims of some bikers pretending to be oil experts or chemical engineers who do nothing more than spreading what they have heard from some others they cannot question due to their mental slavery.
    Idemitsu is supplying 10W-30 mineral oil for Access and Swish scooters and it is not used in GS. The SCs are using Castrol oil because there is a contract between the companies but if you want to fill any other brand, you can bring that oil to the SC and ask them to fill it or can do it yourself.
    Spare parts of GS is not available outside because GS is not as popular as many other bikes. Not Suzuki but the greedy duplicate parts makers are to be blamed for it.
    I have no right to question your fundamental right to use any oil or fuel additive in your bike, even if it is sulfuric acid. Some are using Acetone as fuel additive while some others use castor oil as oil additive. Who am I to question these great people?

    Oil / Fuel additives are necessary were quality of fuel / Oil is doubtfull even fro good brands . we can trust these additive manufacturers if available from trusted source just like regular oil brand . if they do not do good they will not harm too , they have acids and acetones !! , that will destroy the brand new engine within few kms . i have posiitve experience with my older bikes with such products , thats my personnel experience though i will not suggest there use to others as we have good oil brandes available and price of additives is high enough to deny there usage . Lot of mechanics do use such additives even & every SC use such additives 3Mand all that for new vehicals.

      Every service centers are not selling these magic potions. If any are selling it, they get 250-300% (two hundred fifty to three hundred percent) profit for doing it. I have personally witnessed one of these deals.

      Crude castor oil is available as oil additive in the market. Some are using it and are satisfied with the result.
      Everyone has the right to do whatever he likes without causing any harm to others. So, continue the usage of the additives you like.
      I have a doubt: Why are the engineers designing the engine not recommending any oil or fuel additive? Why are the oil companies not adding it to their oil?

        Those using this type of RR are leaving these wires free. Apart from these wires, both the old and new model RRs is the same.



        I have used it in my Suzuki Fiero for more than 1,00,000 kms and in my GS from the time of its second servicing.
        Started to use it because it offered a longer draining interval of 5,000 kms but replaced in every 3,000 kms in my Fiero and in every 2,500 kms in GS.
        SS oils are used for longer drain intervals and for bikes driven at high RPM.
        Those who are bothered about the duplicate (Castrol or any other) engine oil please remember this: A major portion of the new oil we get in the cans in various brand names is used oil collected from service centers and workshops marketed after recycling and this recycling is legally allowed.
        Some are marketing it as edible oils after purification and recycling.



        1. Yellow wire from the Ape RR and the Red wire from the stock RR is +ve terminals of the DC supply to the battery.

        3. Black wire to the stock RR is the AC output of the stator coil. You are connecting it to one of the Gray wires of the Ape RR.
        4. To this Gray wire we are usually connecting the other (grounded) end of the coil. Here you are connecting it to ground. I am not sure about the result but it is better you try to understand a little more about this subject.
        5. As far as I know, there is no Yellow wire from stock RR. There is a YW (Yellow White) wire from the stock RR which carries regulated AC to the headlight and other bulbs. The Orange wire you mentioned is the continuation of the Red wire from the +ve terminal of the battery after ignition switch. You are going to connect the AC supply from the separate tap of the stock RR to this wire and combining both DC from the battery and AC from the RR. Here too I cannot say what the result will be, especially when this AC is fed to the battery without rectification.
        Seems to be a strange plan. After doing all these connections or modifications, what are you expecting from it?
        Anyway, I am not trying to discourage you.

        Ya,... I'm mentioning about the yellow white wire only.

        So Where to connect the stock yellow white wire after installing APE RR ? In stock mode, this yellow white wire is connected to stock RR....

            After changing the RR, this wire carrying AC to the headlight becomes free. Connect RR end of it to the "O" (Orange) wire from the ignition switch which carries DC from the battery.

              Or may I know why you've opted for 15W-40 SS ?
              lifetime of semisynthetic and mineral oil is same, under normal Indian riding condition 95% no big deference between both,

              instead of 20w-40 if we use 15w-40 would help no cold starting (read as morning first start)

              i found on my gs that with Jaso ma2 class mineral oil goes good than normal mineral oil .

              my gs is different from yours as my riding style, riding condition, maintaining way is different.

              you like it or not i will suggest all to try motul mineral oil.

              i am not the Castrol hater, just another guy who fall in love with the performance of the great motul oil.


              i will not recommend any oil addictive as my car manual clearly says do not add any oil addictive in engine oil, yeah my bike manual doesn't says that but i know what not to be used in my bike.

                  How did it happen? The DOT 3 brake fluid is almost colorless and transparent. If you are sure that the oil level is low, get it checked and refilled at the SC.

                              I agree most of mechanics even can't read or write forget engg background , local mechanics will not admit addititons of this substances , they are charging through other means( like altered spare parts costs and replacements, etc), , they are aware customer will not approve. oil manufacturers already add additives to base oil as per there applications , only concern is almost all SC are using it and charging exorhibit amounts which is unnecessary in newer engines.
                              If these additives are so dangerous user manual should have warning signs in oil replacement section atleast to prevent such usage.

                                Limit the rpm to 4500 - 5000 and check the FE again with a measured quantity of fuel in a jar.
                                Buddy, I've not yet crossed the 5000rpm limit as my bike has not crossed the 1K mark on it ODO, still hoping the mileage will improve after the first service.
