    You forgot Lijo who suffered the most

    Anyways, anybody got any news about him? Where he vanished mysteriously, just like FS oil from RTR's chamber?

        If it was not the FS oil ,then...God knows why my bike would not cross 60kmph on an up slope & splender would happily pass on..
        As far as I remember this started after I filled FS 10W40 oil..

            Any F.S is good, don't go for a grade more than 10W40..Or else splender will be faster
            What the ??
            IMHO please correct what you have written above dear xBhpian.
            Each oil has its own purpose at its own usage interval at its own time. FS oils are usually added after some 10000kms in the odo. It has the sole idea of making the engine components to be properly set. FS oils tend to lose its amount in less smoother engines, like the Bajaj, TVS engines [read Pulsar, RTR]
            Regarding grade, the recommended one is 20w40. Even 15w50 can be used for RTR engines. It has wider optimum working temperature range than the 20w40 graded oil, and hence can be very handy in keeping the engine cool for long rides. It has more cold temperature performance too. The major negative is reduction in revvability.

            Cheers. Ride safe
            It's not about the RIDE. It's about HOW YOU ride :]

              A dumb question.
              Is it possible to fit rear disc brakes on a rear drum 160 without losing warranty? If yes, what'd be the cost? I know, i was dumb enough for not opting for it while buying. I didn't know that i'd be ripping it like this. If i knew i'd have bought a 180. I've never come across a situation where the rear drum hasn't saved me though.

                The engine performance is related on a lot of factors vivek bhai. It can be anything from dirty air filter, faulty/dirty TPS,dirty carb to bad tuning.
                It's near impossible that an RTR cannot move past 60kmph with just the effect of the oil. It has to be something else. For sure.

                Edit: Maybe the diaphragm of the carb is damaged. Please get it checked.
                It's not about the RIDE. It's about HOW YOU ride :]

                  Answered by jsg, above mentioned problems by you are not directly related to oil IMO

                  For rear disc you need to change the alloy if I am correct, which will force you to loose warranty

                      Oh then ok
                      By the way, today my RTR behaved abnormally. I was riding around 40-45kmph (compared with a friend's speedo), and the speedo showed speed of 128, which increased to 136kmph. I switched off the bike completely and started it again after 1minute, it was fine then. Seems I need to upgrade......

                          Of the two, Motul 5100 ester 4T is better.

                          1. Holds up really well at higher engine rev's. The AX7 ain't that bad either.
                          2. Engine does not heat up much.
                          3. Drain period/oil performance period is much longer than the AX7.
                          4. AX7 is a highly refined mineral oil (go through the engine oil thread) while the M5100 is an ester based semi-synthetic oil and hence the increased cost.

                                Thanks for the update.

                                W50 grade is most wanted here (for Pulsar's, Duke, Ninja 250R etc.) and that might be the reason.
