      Yes buddy it's almost of the same quality. Switches are good. Very clicky. Only difference i found was the black rubber sleeve(cover) for the wires, on which those numbers are written, is of a thinner rubber material. The original one had a thicker rubber sleeve. Switch assy is of MINDA make.

          Oil level has started decreasing. Went to my mech to confirm and got to know that bore has started drinking oil! At about 7k rpm there is white smoke from exhaust
          odo stands at 41k. [MENTION=63056]Abishek94[/MENTION] buddy, what is the cost of new bore-piston kit? Did you change it?

            Oh yes I did change it. Forgot to update here.
            New bore piston kit costs Rs 2,762
            New valves and oil seal costs Rs 515
            Engine Head work at machine shop was Rs 250
            Cam chain tensioner assembly cost Rs 367
            Silencer gasket Rs 55
            Plus the cost of engine oil and oil filter and I chose to replace spark plug, Air filter. Totally including labour it came up to 5k.
            Now I am done with 250km of run in phase.. Another 250 to go!

              Thanks bro! I will change all these parts tomorrow. By the way, will this engine work be completed in a day? How long did your mech take to do all this? And which oil did you choose?

                  By the time i went to my mech it was already 12.. Then we had to wait for the engine to cool. So he started work on my bike only by 3pm.. Then he removed the engine head and gave it to me.. I got the head work done. By this time it was too late to proceed on the same day. Hence the remaining work was done the next day morning. Basically if your engine is cool by the time your mech opens his workshop in the morning then it can be done in the same day.. Speak to your mech about it

                              After covering 1500km on Rimula R3 it was time to change the engine oil. R4x (suggested by [MENTION=32286]psr[/MENTION] sir) was unavailable & I was not confident about trying trying Delvac MX. In the meantime my friend gave me a bottle of Veedol take off 10w30 (he got it in some promotional offer). The oil exceeds API SM, flash point: 210 degree, Min viscosity index: 135, Kinematic viscosity at 100 degree: 11 (min) & 12.3 (max). The smooth gear shifts are back after riding for about 50km. Engine feels good & little stress free, may be because I was using 15w40 R3x. Price mentioned on the pack was Rs 316/-. Will update on the oil after munching some kilometres.

                                Hi guys,
                                Got new Bore-piston kit installed. Having a tough time keeping the rpm under 4.5k(for the break-in) I chose Motul 3000 15w50 mineral oil for the first fill, will be changing after 1000kms. Thank you [MENTION=63056]Abishek94[/MENTION] for the cost breakup it really helped me today!
