          I'm using it in CBR 250. Nothing great, except the price. I change at 3000-4000 kms.

            Hey man don't use wax... You can use leather polish for the whole bike , not only for the black panels and tank cover but on the whole plastic body.. ..
            I use wavex dashboard and leather polish for the main bike body and panels..... for tyres and rim i use zessta tyre dresser...
            Both these items are available on amazon...
            Also wax doesn't work great for matte paint....

                    Haven't used this product... But you can go for sheeba polish and wavex polish .. would fit in your budget...
                    If nothing then buy a small bottle of waxpol leather polish and try it...

                          Engine oil grade for hornet 160r

                          Friends, company recommends 10w 30 grade oil , but some of the xbhpians have used 10w 40 grade. Will the oil pump of hornet be able to pump 10w 40 oil. Also i noticed that even after 1000km honda oil becomes watery thin , is it normal. Please help.

                            As per my experience my Hornet doesn't overheat. After 3k km proper run in your bike should also not overheat. From 1st free service I am using fully synthetic engine oil. No traces of soot found inside exhaust outlet till now (12000km approx.) Max speed recorded 117 kmph.

                                From 1st free service to 11300 km approx. I had used Honda Throttle 10w30 fully synthetic engine oil. From 11300 km approx. to till now (12000km approx.) Yamalube Sporty Premium 10w40 fully synthetic engine oil which feels better (but don't know the long term effects). Surprisingly no missed gearshift even for once was found since Yamalube use.
