thanks for the assistance Sarvajit!

i'm scared of koti btw

but will exhaust all the options after my exams! will certainly give you a call if you dont mind...

p.s. sorry for the consecutive posts, tried adding another quote during editing but i didnt know how and tried deleting the previous post but it didnt work...ah well

Guys keep me 'clued'-in' whenever you are going for this job. Saravjit had made a similar offer to me, but I did'nt take it up for 2 reasons 1) Thought it will be nice to keep the bike in original form till a short period..at least and 2) I was worried, as you are, about the quality of paint job.

Anyway whenever you guys are going, I would like to tag along and check out the options.

okie dokie.. thanks for sharing..

Its hunting time for the new seat cover.... don't know from where to start...

Purchased K&N recharge kit today for the air filter from Autoshop, Bangalore. It's 950/-
Also Turtle/ArmorAll wax/polish, 3M body films etc available there, if any want to buy.

3M body films are the same as PPF or something different.

Yes I am using K&N filter. It might have increased the performance, but negligible as I have changed only the filter pad (same size as OEM pads). Only feel I got is that it is breathing better. No change in sound noticed. We have to change the entire intake system to K&N (cone filter) to get a performance change. Yes it clogs up quicker, especially in our dusty conditions.

Yes, K&N Recharger Filter Care Service Kit is recommended to clean their filters.

Apart from lubricating the chain, cleaning/lubricating air filter is another concern. Will they clean the Ninja air filter in every service at bajaj??? It should be mandatory..

Clogging of the K&N filter quiker than the stock... doesn't that mean that it is cleaning the air much better way and dust particles of sub-zero size are also getting removed, which the normal filter is not able to do it?

Please speard some light on this.

If anything, the pores in the K&N filter are BIGGER than stock foam. That is why they are called free flow filters.

Why go for K&N and waste money - there is no gain whatsoever in sound or performance. I am running my bike on stock air filter - but I poured in Japanese superzoil mixed with synthetic and my Ninja is now a different animal. Much smoother operation+improved acceleration.

I suggested this place because I had got my father's Verna touched up many times from there&the paint finish AND shade matching was perfect. Oh, btw-forgot to mention-it is a metallic brown color!
No need to check Koti for seat covers-you can get them made anywhere you like.
There is nothing I get out of this btw. It was just a help that I offered.

Of course man..I did'nt even think that way, forget about implying it.

Engine oil

Guys---been reading a lot about how fully synth should not be used till the bike has done about 10k or so. Now...immediately after my first service, Arif at PBK Hyderabad suggested I go with fully synth (my bike had done 1200 then) and I went along with him

.

I have already done about 2000kms more on the bike, after that...do you'll suggest I drain the oil and go back to semi-synth or has the damage already been done?

**bluevolt** · 02-04-2011, 08:02 PM

Don't worry, there is no damage with oil in it. Just keep ridin'!

**aargee** · 02-04-2011, 09:54 PM

Apologies for the OT

, since Adi is very much active here, this is the only place where I can publicize as no one even seem to notice the Birthday thread...

Happy Birthday N_ADITYA. Wishing you many more munching miles this year

+1 to the Bluevolt. Did a day trip to Jaipur on Republic day and was riding 140+ most of the time. Dont know weather its the Motul or the Super Zoil, the bikes a whole lot smoother. Simply brilliant. money well spent

@ Bluevolt

My ride would be due for 1st service after 100 kms. What's the oil should be used? Pbk guys suggested me to go for their Bajaj oil stuff. I need exact specs of the oil so that I can buy it from after market & hand it over to em.
