Hellow my Dear Riders.
I own a 2013 Maroon C5 clocked 9000 kms on it till now. As all know the company suggests motul 15W50 oil for all RE's. As far I had been following the same oil to be used.
I have completed all my free services and now was thinking can I use castrol 20W50 for my bike as one of my friend suggested so. I have also noticed that after a long ride above 100+ km nonstop the oil tends to become thin due to heat which increases the clattering sound from the engine gear shifts also seem a bit hard. But as the engine cools the sound goes off. My bike I'd in absolute great conditions great mileage pickup no problem yet. But I road my friends bike for a long distance his bike has very less clattering sound he uses castrol 20W50. I have also done oil change and service 1100 kms back. Still got many kms to change oil. What do you guys suggest should I shift to castrol 20W50? Or stick with motul 15W50. "And also after how many kms is tappet setting required to be done" And yes there's no other problem with my bike only I think is the oil tends thin if you have any advice please reply as I don't compromise with my bike. Waiting for your advice

Hi pitbull ,
I didn't have parking for the bull. so sold it. CBR was sold as honda gave pathetic after sales service.
But soon ill have a 2nd Bull again a DS500.
Why did u sell your /]

Same reason as yours for selling the Cbr. Great bike let down by pathetic service n lack of adequate spares. Though I wanted the Cbr, I soon realized that I needed a Hero Impulse. I took it to Arunachal in april and my daily commuter now that it flies over potholes with stupendous ease....

Good luck with your new bull shopping.... Re con gt looks fascinating. If only it had a softer suspension, single piece handle bar, comfy ergos - I ll be in the market too....

So you need its tank only...??

CGT looks awesome. has many new improved cycle parts. DS500 Looks great sounds even better. already had one so already aquented with the tantrums it can throw in at me.
CGT on the other hand has dual disc, PSD and "no replacement for displacement"535 CC...its only 35 CC more but...as you know...who doesn't want more..only single seat....as standard...no more pillion so no more nagging from them, all in all it looks great and sure does goes like a bullet...but it aint a bullet.
DS on the other hand looks...sounds...smells and above all rides like a bullet.
OFF TOPIC. can the RPM be changes in DS to lean burn? i really would love to have a low revving bullet.
I want a CGT but i need a DS too....Heart is saying DS..but its also saying CGT..head is saying ur crazy and stick to Vespa.
CGT available off-the-shelf, 2 months for DS.
**PIC is not mine...respective owner have the copywrite.

Hi,
thanx..ya DS is a looker and standsout in a sea of bullets,,ill have the rear seat attached,,just in case.
alos have you located the OBD connector on a DS?, i couldn't find in mine,

Barkha,I am yet to get the bike.

Actually, I want to shorten the tank to fit a longer seat I like the chassis though....

How was the ride experience with bullet specially considering you are moving from p220 to bullet...??

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----



I guess Royal Enfield will replace those age old chassis with newer one in next 2-3 years.

Oh, i thought you alreday have a DS. Hope you get it soon.!!!!!!
this was my previous Bull
i miss it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!

Hi Naveen1985

Here is the story....
Can you see a CBR and a Veapa in the background? ..in the first PIC?...i didnt have parking..so had to sell the DS.as it was brand new the resell value was better than CBR, so let it go first.then went the CBR..in 5 figures.Vespa is staying for life..Vespa's Classic look rocks....thats why DS again..or a CGT or BOTH (i am mad)
Now i have a new House.with lots of parking....Car, bike,cat dog horse..you name it..it can be parked here......
If its a DS500 then good....or i have a hunch that 2014 end or 2015 we could be looking into a new cruiser based on the CGT frame with a 400cc motor.

Okkkk
Yeah they have a new frame but it will take a lot of time to develop a new 400cc engine. This 400cc engine was in news but RE didn't mentioned any time frame for its launch.

Hi,
I was thinking if the 350 can be re bored to 400 then why didn't they do a 550 out of the 500 instead of the 535?

Hi friends I am not an engineer but doesn't boring a lower capacity cylinder to a higher CC than actual decrease the life of machine. Why don't they just produce an engine with different geometry. As I noticed the cylinder size of 350-500-535 are the same. Only the bore size is bigger. Please correct me if I am wrong.
