Thats why you feel the improvement is only marginal.

      In the US markets their stock bulbs are not philips and they have expressed superior levels of satisfaction upon switching to the X-treme visions/powers.
      Hey AFIK

        Another reason, Its been a while since i changed the Engine Oil. 2500-3000 Kilometers.
        Get it changed as oil is past it's prime time...Try to use Motul

          I am Using Motul Semi Synth only. I did not get time to go and get it changed, and last two visits the Engine Oil was not available with the dealer near Pbk. So got delayed this time.

            Adi,

            thinking of getting either:

            1. Phillips motovision
            2. PIAA Xtreme white

            which one is better? am hearing PIAA's burn out quick.

              Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

                Engine oil is not the issue here. I change the oil once every 5k kms and still it looks good for some more kms color and viscosity wise.

                Got both these mixed up. Thanks for correcting me. X-treme power has been phased out and is no longer available at retail stores. The website still shows it though. It has been replaced with X-treme vision.

                Not sure Sachin. No experience personally on the above mentioned bulbs. Rahul (bluevolt) was using the PIAA ones in his bike, you might want to check with him. Ask the ninjette guys for help if its urgent.

                One thing i should mention.... the white light bulbs will be of no use if you ride in the rains since the light will get reflected off the road. There is a reason why there is a tinge of yellow added to the bulb so it can be used all year round.

                Must have ridden alongside a bike with a digital speedo.

                    How much did you buy them for, They charged me 600 bucks for one bulb.

                    @6th gear 4k is a little bit above 60 and 6k is a little bit above 80 when am shifting at 6k rpm in all gears, Do not know the exact figures.

                    Also if i am not wrong this speed is indicative of at what rpm we shift in the preceding gears.

                      I also got them for 600 bucks per piece. Best to pick them up from Chawla motors, 3rd street, JC road. Genuine and very friendly and is the authorized distributor for Philips. Refer to the philips site for details.

                          How old is your bike?
                          Is your FI light on always? Else it could be that your battery has drained off as well.
                          Either case get it checked at PBK.
