Changed my air filter today and it was this dirty. [ATTACH]159059[/ATTACH]
I dunno if its just me or the bike is revving up much freely than before some amount of engine oil was present in the air filter compartment and one of my friends mentioned that it was normal.

Btw, is there an oil filter for our bikes? Not the one with the drain bolt, but one that is housed in a separate compartment??

thanks for the prompt answer sir
okay then will better go for G-Power ones
And yes I did read about this 8000k hid's cons in your previous posts but sadly that was the only option available here
and yup light is not so good although more than stock ones still am not satisfied
thats why I was asking can i change just the bulbs of hid from 8000k to either 6000k or 4300k???

Nope. No such filter is present in our bikes..






This is how it looks on the clutch side of the engine. The mechanic told me that the small circular part just to the right of the clutch plate is an oil filter where the oil is pumped into that portion and the oil is filtered.. not sure if that is true. When asked if it needs to be replaced. He said nope..
Tell us how you managed to remove the screws from the air filter box

I rode to Vijayawada last Saturday morning, and as soon as I reached, just got a call from an unknown number when I was on another call. Later received a message "Divya here, met with accident, need urgent help". Was puzzled a bit, and called back immediately. Then, I heard shaken Divya's voice that he met with an accident and that his elbow got dislocated. I got panicked, and I was not in Hyderabad to help him directly. Lot of coordination happened with so many calls, Divya started to Hyderabad in a car, left his bike there at a dhabha, and finally Jaijeet took him to KIMS for treatment. Srikirshna Das was in Yamaha service center to service his amitiel when I called. He immediately left the bike there, Deepan went to pick Srikrishna, and they rode to Kothakota (140 kms from Hyderabad) at night to locate the ZMR and bring it to Hyderabad. It was one hell of a ride for them, riding in heavy rain, trying to locate the unknown dhabha somewhere on highway, name and details unknown. Dhabhas were closed and it was pitch dark. When they almost gave up, they could find it finally. They rode back to home in rain at around 3 am in the morning. Meanwhile, Jaijeet was there with Divya attending to the hospital needs. He was discharged late night after the dislocated elbow was fixed and immobilized. Gaurav Kolte stayed for the night with Divya at the hotel.

The timely help of Jaijeet, Srikrishna, Deepan, and Gaurav is invaluable. Everyone has taken time out of their busy schedules, in helping a fellow biker. They proved that we bikers are a family and I am really proud of them.

Just rode @Divya Sharan's white pearl to my home from @HeartBrokenBiker's (Srikrishna) place, 20 kms. Left my ZMA at his place. All the while I wondered how Srikrisha rode the bike for 150 kms to get the bike from accident place to his home. The right side footpeg gone, and he rode the bike with one leg in touring position, and another leg in racing position (right foot on rear foot peg). :O My leg was paining just for 20 kms in that position.

Inspected the bike and these are my observations.

1. The right side fairing is intact, eventhough it received minor scratches. No rattlings were found so the joints are intact.
2. Right clipon bent. The bar-end weight also bent.
3. Right foot peg is completely gone and the brake lever deformed.
4. The silencer shield got scratches.

Apart from above, everything is intact. I left the handle bar at 40 and 60 kmph and the bike is going straight like an arrow, so bent forks ruled out. According to me, the damage is minimal comparitively. Once the foot peg is fixed, then the bike can be ridden without any issues.

Wishing Divya for his speedy recovery. Will be glad to see him on the bike again.

I'm glad that he didn't end up breaking any bones and the elbow dislocation could be fixed without having to open it up.
From what I hear from the people who kept his bike on the highway(laymen), if not for helmet and whatever he was wearing it was an easy death.
The dog died too.

Here's a little footage I found on my gopro (keep taking so many videos and forget it :/ ... sorry for the delayed upload)

@rreneav1987 bro then I think it needs a replacement then. It's still stock right?? I'll replace it when I clock 15k on odo.

About the screw, me and my friend ( @siddharthsure ) applied wd40 again and I took a smaller size screw driver, which was a perfect fit. It got unscrewed in two hard tries
@psr sir, engine oil in the air filter compartment is normal, or is there anything to worry?

On a different note, can we use 5w30 FS oil in our bikes?
