            I would've collected one by one if I were in B'lore now. Will collect all the necessary on my next visit. However, will stay for week or so in B'lore.

            A definitive guide for spare parts, tools etc will be handy...

            thanks, checking your link

            Still awaiting your consolidated thread on Full DC Conversion...

                Take a look at below DIY thread on xBHP:
                xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community
                http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/do-yourself/21272-d-i-y-engine-oil-change-apache-rtr.html


                - buy O-Ring as well when you buy Oil-Filter from SVC.
                - instead of 900ml Engine-Oil buy 1L(Standard).
                - while draining oil, in the end once Oil stops dripping, you can kick(not too hard!) the kick-starter lever to get rid of some oil sticking to engine parts.

                take care of hands from hot engine-oil.

                  I don't like the new pagination scheme on xBHP /-
                  only seven messages per page; what's this?

                  more adds per page ratio?............

                        Why? I havent changed my o-ring once ad Ive changed my oil filter about 4 times till now. No oil leakage yet, if thats what the o-ring is meant for.

                          9th service completed

                          Updates from my GS:
                          Done 9th service(Free) from Saboo Suzuki. The total bill is 331. Bike odo @ 12506 km .
                          Engine Oil (Castrol) - 230
                          Sparkplug (P-RZ9HC) - 73
                          Consumable Oils - 25
                          Cushion Frame cover upper - 3

                          Mileage in city is consistently between 53-59. Spark plug changed because i thought it would be better to change it eventhough i dont have issues with old NGK spark plug.

                          IS any issues if we use tank bag on GS like scratches due to bag leather or any? . I have not used until now but planning to put one.

                              I've changed Oil-Filter once, kept the old O-Ring. I don't see any leakage either..
                              I'm not sure SVC replaces O-Ring every time they replace Oil-Filter. Does anyone know the price of an Oil-Filter's O-Ring @SVC?

                              Quoting from Owner's Manual: Page 6-23

                              NOTE: Use new "O" rings each time the engine oil filter element is replaced.

                                so, whats the update from the guys with the New GS? Pics/performance updates with mileage would be appreciated. I believe that the rust issue has been completely sorted out.
