      [MENTION=53053]NITIN SHARMA[/MENTION], you can go for NKG G-power plug. Its the best. You get slightly crispy throttle response, and marginally improved FE. Some people even reported an increase in FE of around 3-5 kmpl.

        The oil level is upto half the distance of MAX. I rotated the wheel and it was smooth, so I guess like you say I dont have to worry about it
        - is it rotating freely like that of a bicycle? you may want to ride the bike(with cold disc) for a distance without using front brake & then check.
        - if at all you decide to top up, do NOT top up brake fluids of different make & type(DOT-3 or DOT-4).

        For just around 50/- extra bucks we get a spark-plug (G-Power) which is efficient. J-type fine center spark-plugs are better than J-type flat center types.

          Not going to top up the brake fluid. Will check the way [MENTION=36366]SparKot[/MENTION] asked me to check and let you know

          Yes, it is rotating freely without any restriction.. wow!! I'll ride the bike with the cold disc without using the front brake, thank you

            For many days the handle is irregularly vibrating and in potholes i felt like the front tyre just displaced to left side and to control it i have to put my balance towards right handle and this situtation becomes worse in turns when the weight of bike feels on one side.......ooofffff......but i got relief when my mechanic changed the bearings of front handle bar( both up and down).Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20140512_183713.jpg Views: 1 Size: 101.8 KB ID: 1880611As the ring below the bearingballs is torned ,it dosent remains smooth as it should beClick image for larger version Name: IMG_20140512_183751.jpg Views: 1 Size: 81.9 KB ID: 1880612Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20140512_183815eeeeee.jpg Views: 1 Size: 109.1 KB ID: 1880613......so whole the assembly and labour work costs me Rs550 -/only.But its very time consuming process to work on handle assembly ,it takes my 4 hrs.......so friends always be alert and do always take care of handle balancing even if you feel a minor balancing problem in bike ,as its very-2 risky to ride with such condition....ohhhufffff

                  Check what Hero-Honda recommends about changing intervals for fork-oil. As forks were removed for steering job, he could have very well replaced fork-oil too. That's just a thought.

                  Do not apply front brakes right before speed-bumps & pot-holes, lower bike's speed very well before going over them. Suspension dampens such shocks very well when they're in optimal working range. Suspension contracts when you brake hard right before the hurdle, you move them out of that range.

                  PS: There will be always exceptions.

                        G power costs 170 rupees, Iridium is more expensive I am not sure about its cost sorry

                        Yup Gpower does provide substantial performance improvement. The engine idle becomes more smooth. FE does witness a rise too. The iridium costs somewhere around Rs550/- but i suggest the Gpower...does the work very well:-)

                            Yup i do remember that:-) @psr sir..is one gem of a person and always ready to help and suggestion. I suggested 50 coz this years summers are soo very horrible....and Delhi temperatures are worse...and hence the 10grade increase from 40 to 50 in my suggestion......If thers a lot of riding in city traffic, stop n go kind of situations for a long time....i suggest 50....!! If its just short rides to the store or some city spin...40 is apt!


                            Guys...I have been using the Motul 7100 FS since quite a ling time now...and my change intervals are around 4k kms...!!(Also depends on the way iver ridden the bike after the change..as in most of city or highway )

                            I just wanted to know that most of you guys here use Shell AX7 Semi-Synth....what is the average change interval u guys follow?
