Guys am currently using Agip and i find my ride is smooth.. But now since owners tell Mobil is excellent for ZMR and since it has lasted for about 4K+kms in divya's ZMR am planning to change my oil brand..

Which oil in Mobil is better in terms of performance regarding acceleration? Cause i read somewhere that type of oil matters a lot in performance of a bike and am interested in acceleration.. And what would be the cost of it? And how much quantity oil should i drain/replace?

More than the quality, its the peace of mind. For me, Mobil1 10w40 and Shell Advanced 10w40 FS are almost head to head, with Mobil1 taking the lead marginally.
Shell FS costs around 740 bucks and Mobil1 around 800 (got it for 795/- if I'm not wrong).

I suggest you to take your bike to a good mechanic and see what he does, how he does.
You need to have all tools needed for changing oil yourself. You shouldn't be stranded in between the oil change process (or any DIY for that matter) just because you don't have a size 17 (to access the drain bolt) or a size 22 (to access the rear wheel) spanner. [merely examples]

Best mileage and acceleration - go for the normal 10w30 mineral/SS only. But that shall go bad in 1000kms and engine would heat up in B2B traffic with the gears behaving like a b!tch.

With 10w40, you get a good balance. For summer season, you can have 20w40 oil too, but winters suggest usage of 10w40 hence eliminating any issues with cold start. (ya ya ZMR has an FI tech, so what? Cold starts may not be the issue for the rider, but y not make it easier for our rides too?)

to open the drain/tappet bolt you need size 17 spanner not 22. 22 is used for adjusting chain slackness.

So now shall buy Mobil10W40 and give it to a local mech..One bottle is enough or do i have to add more? Another silly question.. Is it FS or SS?

Hi Above_All,

The golden Karizma emblem is a bit smaller that the sticker present in the reat crowl.. Only the extension of K and R will be visiable if you stick the emblem over the present one.

And regarding the colours, till now it's good. Completed 2 months with it, and most importantly washes the bike every sunday... As far as my knowledge, the emblem doesn't loss it's colour but not sure about the shine.. It cost me 1200/-, I feel the coast is for the colour I assume than the making cost..

Most importantly sorry for the delay.. I just missed the thread..

Regards,
Antan Banerjee.

Thanks bro for the details .

Hi All,

Thanks for the quick feedback... But to my most bad luck I have just completed 1 yr on 24th of this month... How can I get the extension??? Is it possible to avail it from another Service center other than where I bought my BEAST....??

Regarding Satyajit da, I am not sure whether he has 5 years of warranty, as he was saying his warranty will end in next few months when he reaches bike's third year..

Please suggest some way out..

Regards..

No problem as only 4/5 days more after 1 year . Get Satyajit da's help .

Bhai, that was only an example. I don't use a spanner to open the drain bolt. Rather I use a T-wrench which has a longish arm with sizes 17 and 18 to open bolts. Spanners are used only for the chain cover, swingarm bushes, wheel axle and suspension bolts. Don't know about others, but I find the drain bolt a li'l difficult to reach/access (even after opening the lower fairing), hence I use the T-wrench.

Mobil1 10w40 is FS. You'll need 2 bottles. Because you'll be flushing the old oil out completely. And later it'll take in approx 1.4L fresh oil. Are you coming down to Dream M/c for this or somewhere else near your place?

and according to me its not a water issue.....if it were then it might not have lead to the engine cranking issue with your ignition...!!!
My take on your issue is your battery has gone dea d....!!!

Umm... No issues with the battery i think.. cause everything is working perfectly fine.. I did face the issue of meter display flickering in the early days of purchasing the bike but that was resolved back then only.. Now there's no such issue with the display.. Horns work fine, self motor works fine too..

I haven't faced the issue again yet.. So hoping there's nothing wrong... wil keep u guys updatee if there's any problem...

Today; i call the SVC for the status of my bike...all others problems has been resolved..for engine stalling...they are saying that Fuel Injector has some problem...need to replace....SVC will be ordering the same tomorrow as today the person has not come....

Congrats!...

what was the exact symptom that you faced for the engine stalling... i can check if i faced the same or not...

do you open the lower faring panel to open the drain bolt??? actually i do it without opening the lower faring so i use ring spanner to do it.

Yup I too do it the same way....! Without removing the lower fairing....and by using the ring spanner...!!

Yes I do.
Hmm.... Something to look out for now... I don't have a ring spanner. I have the following tools with me:
1. Double open end wrenches (normal spanners) - sizes 12 to 24
2. The T-wrench - sizes 17, 18
3. Multi utility screw driver set - 30 different mountable screw patterns on a common screw driver head
4. A few calipers here and there (never used them)
5. The basic ZMR kit that came with the bike.
6. Set of 6 Allen keys of which I have used only 2 sizes (size 5, 6) on the bike.

What do we call ring spanner in hindi? The shopkeeper won't understand the term "ring spanner". I know what it looks like, but I have to explain it to the shop keeper, right?
God, it never struck me while purchasing the toolkit that I could use a ring spanner.

Hey....Nopes that is not recommended at all...!!!
Yes i know the SS is available in 1 litre can...so take two cans(Same company and same grade) and put 1.2 litres fresh new SS oil into the engine....!! you can preserve the other 800ml left..and use it for next oil change !!!!But never mix oils like that...!!!

ya didnot mix the oil

Didn't get you bro... 1 year old oil? You didn't change oil for a year?
Moreover, when moving from mineral to SS or FS for that matter, you should drain ALL the oil in that box. It's a 1.4L unit.
I remember draining around 1340 ml mineral oil (measured in a beaker) when I moved to SS from mineral.

no, i changed the oil recently dude
padfoot was right about what he said below
changed the oil,have put only 1.3 lts
also got the air filter which is 220rs,have to change it today.
i didnt know it was available in a set,i thought it was just the filter

Divya ..by that he means that he has unused mineral oil that has been stored in a can for more than a year now.....:-)
And i always pour in 1.2 litres of oil...as i use Castrol Activ which again comes in a 1 litre can....So 1.2 litres makes easy calculations..:-)

thanks for guiding about the oil change dude

yesterday, i changed the engine oil from mineral to semi synthetic oil(shell ax7 semi synthetic)
it costed me 320 each
bought two cans
have put only 1.3 lts, is it okay or i have to put 100ml extra since capacity is 1.4lts which i did not know about.
the mechanic did not open the lower fairing to drain the old oil.
thanks mzee for telling about shell

When i was dropping acceleration from a speed of approx 50...engine get off...a part from that; when i was giving a little throttle in neutral... engine get off...in relate to this problem...whenever i was starting my bike...rpm become high and in 4/5 seconds drops automatically...

Whenever this problem appears and my bike does not start...i need to give a acceleration with start button...

Not required brother....1.3 liters is sufficient..:-)
And you can change the air filter on your own....
Procedure:
Remove seat...
Remove the left cowl that has its screws below the seat borders and one near the rear suspension ...and the big screw that is affixed to the side...
Now you can see a bid black colour chamber.....having around 6 bolts...(You will need a T-spanner for opening it...i suppose size 10)...remove that black panel...!! remove your old air filter....and fix your new one...then fix everything back...!!
If your old air filter isnt gone real dirty....clean it with a spray of air....and keep it as a spare filter..( I usually keep all my good spares..planning a Ladakh ride soon..so may need it for that:-))

Brother the RING SPANNER is called " RING PANA" and the normal Spanner is called the " PATTI PANA" in Hindi...tell him he will understand...!!!:-) Cheersss....!!

RIDE SAFE...!!!
