Oh thats just crap talk. Just tell them not to change the oil. Give them lame excuses like its not required , my vehicle isnt running much etc. Just dont tell them you are changing it from the outside.
You can either buy the fully synthetic tvs tru4 for 525 bucks or the shell ax7 semi synthetic for 400 bucks.
We all believe shell is a better product than the tru4 & cheaper than the fully synthetic one. What they put in you bike presently is the semi synthetic tvs tru4 which costs around 260 rs.

Guys, Good News...

It's my time to upgrade.. And it is Benelli TNT 300...

Good choice Mann ! Congos on the new twin 😎😎

Wow! Really?

Just dropped my 160 in for service today, and since I'm usually aware of what is wrong with my bike, I tell them all the problems. There's this "test rider" they have over there that takes our bikes out for a small spin down the road, and comes back and tells the mechanic all the things wrong with the bike.

My sprocket was bent, that much I was sure of when doing regular maintenance myself. But I had a slight niggle of doubt about the clutch plate. So the guy took it out for a spin. Max RPM changes then a couple of turns and he was back. He told the mechanic, "Put in clutch plate, sprocket and fork vibration." Then he also added brake fluid and new bush for the back.

These guys are really good. I take the RTR in for small things before the actual service; stuff I can't fix at home myself. Like when I can't tighten the chain, I just pop by there, they do it in a couple of minutes and give. This SVCs speciality is for great service of RTRs. I have known 3 or 4 RTRs that had been in really really bad crashes and when they were done with the service or rebuild, it was as good as new!

My experience for the first service was also similar. Not just the oil change, grease the chain and stuff...

Nice pics @andy0104
I got my shell ax7 from snapdeal. Rs.370.
Got it in 7 days. Been using for the past 800kms.

Thanks mate
I have also ordered the shell ax7 from amazon. Do share your experience of the oil performance. Have the vibes gone down a bit? How does the engine feel?
By the way can you tell me, what is the fuel average I might get from rtr 160 if ridden within 50km/h?

Vibrations in my rtr has reached another level :P The clamps of the screws which hold the semi fairing to the tank broke and it was rattling like an old truck.. Only options I had was either to replace the tank scoops (because the clamps were a part of the tank scoops) or stick them with feviquick :P I chose the latter.. Till now its holding well.
Anyway, how much do the semi fairing cost on the new model rtr's?

Wow !!!
35000 kms in 2 years.
Thats some serious riding bro.
Keep onn riding.
I seriously believe someday earth's gravitational field will go bonkers due to the combined vibrations of our rtr's.
