      Thanks sir , for demo animation, this will require calibration,
      some diametric peripherial combination of both pulleys too will require calibration. what i suggest is to look for belts(cost and performance) that are available in market that can with stand load conditions , V belt will be a bad idea as tends to slip after some usage and have high rolling resistence.
      Matching pulleys , mounting a pulley to rear wheel should be easy , pulley towards transmission will be tedious due to space constraint , complexity at shaft and in GS adjusting the speedo - sensor will be hectic.

        [QUOTE=firegun;828012]For me Belt type is best AFAIK


        Yes, i too sure that it will eliminate the chain noise

        add to it ,
        1)there will be no jerks when accelerating- deaccelerating suddenly
        2)smooth transmission
        3)no vibes in any rpm/speed range , tension of drive ( engine) and rear wheel will minimise vibes.
        4)if quality of belt / pulley assembly is upto the mark and belt has suffiecient tension through out its service life , it will last forever without any maintanance.

          For the vibrations, check this link. It has the solution. You need to add a washer. That's all.

          Hello Harish, I got it from CHERRY AGENCIES, East end main road, Jayanagar 9th block, b'lore, Ph: 080-41656901. They have good collection of tyres of different brands. But Sirac 110/90 was not at stock, so I had to fit 100/90.

          I got it for 2400/- (including fitting & nitrogen filling charges).

          My stock tyre was 1 year old, has no good resale value and its with me as spare.

          And thanks for the link

                  i never recommend synthetic oils for normal city driving use and long drive as well.

                  the cheap and best mineral oils proved they are good at most of the Indian driving environment.

                  am not discouraging you from trying synthetic; but synthetic is not the only solution it can be achieved using mineral oil too.

                  the things need to be checked while purchasing oils are

                  > not just the price label remember to check the expiry date and if any offer there.

                    @Nihal:: Yes you can try 300V , ,There are two grades available in 300v...get the 10w-40 grade.,
                    if that grade is not available in 300v you can also try 7100 4t 10w-40 which is also a FS oil from Motul...

                        Why is it that you don't advice full synthetic oils? I thought they were good for long rides as they have very high change intervals and they cause less friction in the engine, so cooler running. Am I wrong somewhere?

                          FS oils are tooo good; and must for top speed racing and again in indian road condition and considering the driving persons health we need to take at-least 100 kms once rest.

                          so for along drive with stop at every 100 kms just mineral is apt, but synthetic is too good.

                            Apart from the technical aspect, the cost difference is not proportionate to the difference in change intervals. Most FS oils cost 3-4 times more than mineral oils or double that of SS oils but the change interval is just 2-3 times more than mineral oils.

                            FS oils are also some of the most duplicated commodities so unless you are experienced enough to differentiate the real deal from fake, you could be cheated into buying duplicate/adulterated oil which apart from monetary loss, also damages the engine affecting engine life.

                            Using good quality FS oil might be good but there are more VFM alternatives. The number of people looking to change to FS prompted me to post this. Some people also have a belief that engine oils boost performance.

                              Engine oil + Filter must be replaced at the time/distance interval mentioned by the vehicle manufacturer, irrespective of whether it is synthetic or mineral. This has been beaten to death here:

                                Again, the one size fits all rule can't be applied to everyone, so FS oils are really required for those who constantly redline and long range tourers. Many people, even some friends of mine use FS oils because of a higher change interval which in my opinion is not worth the change to FS.
