Yesterday did the service to my bike. Odo around 23450, did not change the oil at service later changed it at home. After draining the oil to the last drop both on centre stand and side stand which lasted for about half an hour I measured the drained oil and it was about 950ml. Is this normal or was my bike running on low oil.

bad spark plug I guess. though I didn't encounter it till now. Others should shed some light on it.

Also check if on a contact speed and on constant RPM the engine hiccups...if this is so then there is an issue....

misfiring occurs due to faulty spark plug...

Maybe you guys are right.. the SVC never cleaned the spark plug. gotta get it checked.. Thanks for the response

Get it done asap. Mine got rusted as the service guys didn't check it and I was under the illusion they actually did it. And the change got a bit delayed when the mirror hex bolts got round off and the fairing didn't come of.

I guess the Mirror Hex Bolts are a big problem with our bikes.. they don't have those bolts in stock.. thats something stupid...

I am using Iridium sparks.. can't afford to lose them so soon

:'( but the issue I noticed with the misfiring was just twice..

my first iridium lasted for approx 10k kms now on the second one. the stock ngk lasted for approx 18k kms and it was in good shape even after that.
so my next change will be ngk stock if i ever to get hold of one in lucknow as here the stock which sells is champion, which is not as good as ngk

Switch to NGK G Power since it gives good cold starts,better FE and lasts for 12K Kms easily, and costs only 140/-...Plug ID is DPR-8 EGP.

So the iridium spark plugs are not worth the money huh buddy??

I was thinking about Bosch Iridium or Double Platinum! Anyone here tried Bosch ?? if yes.. pls give your feedback on it.. i will be getting my bike ready for the tour which is on the planning soon.. Need some suggestions and inputs..

Thanks in advance guys

Sir, the stock plug is NGK DPR-8-EA9. This plug lasted me 12k kms after which I replaced it during the regular maintenance. It's still in good condition.
Earlier, I used NGK DPR-8-EGP for about 6k kms before its ceramic broke (fell down while inspecting the plug).

I felt better cold starts, but difference in kmpl figures were marginal.
Max highway mileage on G Power - 51 kmpl and on stock - 50 kmpl.

Are you referring to splitfire cables? If yes, then I must say that NGK Iridium + Splitfire combo is quite famous on bike forums but nobody has confirmed how better w.r.t stock these are.

Well.. not only split fire cables.. there are other brands like the MSD... Just wanted to know if they are of any benefit.. but yeah.. similar to Split Fire..

Hi, gud I am gonna change the back tyre of my bike, also gonna remove the usual mudguard cm numberplate mount (The whole piece) and gonna attach some number plate mounts like the ones seen in P200. Have anyone done mods like this before. Please revert guys.

Well.. i would suggest you not to remove the rear mudguard mount reason being its gonna be horrible when you ride during rain.. people behind you and your back will be full of mud... Its just my suggestion..

unless you are gonna fit a mudguard close to the tires from the frame like in R15 V2 or the P135...

Decided on what tires to go for?

Is the disk pad side swingarm usually like this. I thought swingarm would be usually straight but during recent cleanup I noticed this.

**Anoop K Thomas** · 01-31-2013, 03:46 PM

yes it will be like that only... even in my bike i have noticed the same...

There's a certain amount of innocence in your query.

Yes, it is meant to be like that only.
