    Keep the eye on the level through the little window, they usually drop after a long intervals.

    My front and rear dropped a little at 5000kms, but after topping em up, they are still full.

    For the oil you can go for MOTUL semi synth, POWER 1 (semi synth), VEEDOL and PETRONAS (synth) (very good oil for the price)

    • Eg. 20W40

      The first number followed by the W is the winter or cold start SAE viscosity. The second number is the viscosity under normal running temperature.
      For our weather we only need look at the last two digits.

      • I have heard somewhere that the grade gives us the information at which temperature bracket it can retain its properties.that is after the maximum temperature its looses its properties and the oil density also decreases!

Also i have read somewhere that lower the initial digits better is the performance.It was some international forum so may be they are talking about multicylinder SBKs, but still we are talking about engine only, right!!
                thanks brother

                  It is really tough to get hold of this engine oil.It's not available everywhere.

                  @ameya

                  Stay away from performance filters. They do more harm than good. Also don't change the tyres unless you are uncomfortable with them.

                                The orange light comes up when you have approximately 1 litre of fuel available in the tank.

                                Yes you can use the Agip.
