Where do you stay?
Just go and get a

MOBIL1 10W40 Full Synthetic.
Trust me 100% peace of mind!!!
Your top speed is hampering becos of viscosity.

Regarding Engine Oil need to decide on your own.
1. Want TOP Speed
2. Want LESSER Time Interval for Change
3. Want SOFT Gear Lever
4. Want to RIDE continuously for Hours

You cannot have all the above in a particular Oil simultaneously.
Need to decide your priority and decide accordingly.
Probably the best SOLUTION is Mobil1.

Tube Tires can be run as Tubeless and vice versa.
But the former can be done for specific Brands only while the latter can be done for all.

Are you referring to this oil...

Mobil 1 Products

Hurraaay!!! XBHP is back!

Two days of restless-ness... grrr..

Meanwhile, this happened. (I remember mentioning I've clocked 20K somewhere, that was a typo. Its 18K)

**Adityaask** · 09-14-2012, 11:01 AM

Constantly facing hard gear shift problem with my ZMR . Sometimes while up shifting, the gears stuck

and takes 2-3 attempts to engage properly

. Switched to Mobil1 FS 10w40 but still the problem persist . Also when I try to shift gears at 6-7000 rpm the bike vibrates like hell .

Ok, then it may be that you need to get the air filter checked.
Ideally, one has to replace the air filter every 8-10k kms for best performance.

Its located beneath your seat on the left side (opposite to the battery).
For the engine oil, which oil are you using?

Change oil every 2k kms in case it is mineral.
Use only 10w30/15w40/20w40 oil in your bike.
Change @3500-4k kms in case it's synthetic.

For the time being, just pour out a little oil from the bike (take it any mechanic), say 20 ml and see. If the color is deep brown/black or the oil seems to have lost its viscosity, replace it right away!

air filter is good i guess because i did not experience any hiccups at any speed.

i am using company specified oil .
i did not take care of the engine oil and the hh svc topped up at every 2k kms and changed at 6k kms,is it the reason i am getting a low top speed
and does it cause any future problems ?
hh svc changed the engine oil at 9.5k kms and now the bike has run 10.5k kms ,should i change the engine oil since one of zmr owner posted that mineral oil is good for only 1k kms .
i am planning to change the engine oil from mineral oil to fully synthetic oil,
shall i change and what are the advantages ?
which oil do you recommend ,how abnout honda cbr 250r oil?

couple of things to achieve good top end:

clean chain and sprockets
no over size tyre
correct air pressure in tyres
every gear pulled well
clean air filter
your weight
in direction of wind or against

suggestion: pressure wash sprockets chain, clean using petrol or diesel., use wd40 and then oil and take a spin back

i read in a automobile website that chain should not be washed in diesel,is it true?
rest all was proper except for the wind

Err. How many kms back did you switch to 10w40? It may take sometime for all internals to get lubed and work smoothly.
For instance, I saw the full result only after 200 odd kms of riding post the 10w40 saga.

Get your clutch plates checked, maybe there's some carbon deposit/blockage (not sure, seniors???)
For the vibes part, get all nuts and bolts tightened. Better, open and re-fit the plastics all over! (read fairing

)
How old is your air filter?

That's good. Seems the air filter is fine. Let's troubleshoot other components!

i am using company specified oil. You mean 10w30 mineral, right? That's fine!

i did not take care of the engine oil and the hh svc topped up at every 2k kms and changed at 6k kms,is it the reason i am getting a low top speed? What? Oil change at 6k? Dude, please don't do this to your bike! CHANGE @2k for minerals, 3k for SS and 4K for FS oils. Always. BTW, as Mohsin bhai said, the HH oil provided at the SVC last 1000-1200 kms max. And you continue riding with that deadly oil for 6k kms? Let the tank sticker say, top up at 2k and change at 6k. Its bullshit!

Change oil ASAP. Drain all the old oil. The engine will gulp down 1400 ml of new oil exact. Stay away from 20w50 oils.

and does it cause any future problems ? See the previous answer!

hh svc changed the engine oil at 9.5k kms and now the bike has run 10.5k kms ,should i change the engine oil since one of zmr owner posted that mineral oil is good for only 1k kms .
Yes please! Do not top it up! Replace it....
i am planning to change the engine oil from mineral oil to fully synthetic oil,
shall i change and what are the advantages ? Advantages - Peace of mind, no need to top up at 2k's or 3k's. Simply change @4k. Go for Mobil1 10w40 FS.
which oil do you recommend ,how abnout honda cbr 250r oil?
Not sure. If its of the recommended grade, you may try!

Replied in bold. Kinda looks cluttered. I miss the old format.
Sorry for the OT!

Cost of Mobil 1:-
Here in Mumbai it may cost you near by Rs.850 per litre, ZMR need 1100 ml oil, as per my opinion it wont make any huge effect if you fill 1ltr.
Disc Oil:-
Disc oil level is half way so i think no need to top up right now, but keep eye on it, top up will do . no need to change the oil
Change of Spark Plug :- Yes, Change it.
Change of Engine oil for every 2k kms :-
Its totally depend on the brand of engine oil you are using, If you are using HH engine oil then for every servicing you should change the engine oil. and for FS oil, you can change it for every 5-6k kms, Just keep in mind when you feel that your bike pickup has become sluggish, gears are going hard, Engine noise has increased then change the engine oil

I hope it helped you.

if you buy 2 cans it will cost you around 1800/- If you just top up the oil when level goes down instead of changing the engine oil and both can last minimum to 10k kms, i am doing the same thing and till date covered almost 6k kms on the same engine oil with 2 top up.

NGK Spark Plug is the good choice and till last long, but it is expensive (Rs. 550), stock Spark Plug would cost you only Rs. 100 or Rs. 150 only. If you change to NGK then you wont need to change it for another 20k kms. i have changed to NGK at 13000 kms and till date covered 36k kms and still it is working fine

.

Use Disc oil which service centre uses. i dont have any idea about other Disc oils.

Mobil1 still available for 850 in Mumbai? You're lucky Dhiraj bhai. Costs ~1200 for the newer cans.
I changed with 2 cans because I was switching from a different grade oil to 10w40, and I didn't want to mix them.

Hence, I put in 1.4 litres.
For normal change, it is 1.1 L. I never pour just one bottle, because it usually is 900-950 ml only, thus you're filling at least 200 ml less oil.

Spark plug - NGKs will do. You'll get the exact name and model in the manual.
I changed the spark plug at 12k, you might as well change it.

ok i will do that but when it completes 11k kms so that after engine oil change,let it run atleast 1.5k kms in the earlier engine oil which was changed at 9.5k kms
and can we change oil by ourselves
can you please tell me the steps?
i will change to NGK spark plug

THANKS DHIRAJ

Will let seniors talk about the engine oil issue w.r.t your bike. It should have resolved by now AFAIK.
Air filter should be changed @10k for best results. Time to replace it. Costs 250 bucks.

No issues you can change it after some kms. Yes you can change it on you own, but my advice would be to get it change from a mechanic first, watch him carefully and afterwards you dont need any assistance to change engine oil on your own
