    My hornet completed free services. Now I had a time to change my engine oil. So I need a suggestion for choosing oils. Confusing with motul 300v 5100 7100. Help me out guys.and one more engine oil additives is necessary or not
    If you live in a city where the temperature is above 30 to 35'C mostly, and want to go with a mineral oil, try using 20W 50 from Castrol Activ. that's what I use. Just a suggestion.

        I have been riding my brother's gixxer for the last 2 days few things I noticed is initially you feel the better pickup in gixxer but with the time I have started missing my hornet for the below reasons.
        1. Hornet has great comfort while driving with a pillion.
        2. HORNET feel lot smother during the 50 to 80 Speed when compared to gixxer.
        3. Looks a lot bigger than gixxer, I am 5 10 above 80 kilos. So gixxer feels small On me.

        During my initial days I used to think I made a wrong decision going for hornet over gixxer. But now I am sure I've made the ryt decision.

          Apart from the low power delivery in Low RPM, there are no major disadvantages in Hornet... Not to forget, the frequent chain loose.

                Check behind the horn with a flash light, you'll see either 2A or 3A, if its 2A do let me know.

                      Guys I need help... I ride a honda Xblade.

                      It's fairly new, done around 330kms.
                      The mileage it gives me is just 32kmpl.

                      Any tip or tricks by which i can improve my mileage

                        Wait for 1000 kilometers, before that don't touch the carburetor, new motorcycle will drink more petrol, at 300 kilometers i was also getting about 35kmpl now at 1600 kilometers i get 48kmpl in city ( ride with pillion sometimes )

                                oh I see, nice info! I had doubt because I got decent fuel mileage while breaking in my Gixxer.
