    She was born with bones reinforced with carbon fiber, she won't need a armor to fight for now.

    It's 60.4 OTR in Kolkata. I think ~60-61k in mumbai.

    @pulsAr135, doesn't that split mud guard allow so much of mud spilling over your back??
    Not exactly on my back, but if pillon is present, He/she needs to change the shirt after a ride on a rainy day.

    @pulsAr135, for the time being, stick to mineral oils as your odo picture shows your bike has run for only 1.5k kms odd. Till 5k kms stick to mineral and then switch to semi synthetic.
    Exactly, I want to do some mods too. Here is the list

    TL tyres. MRF Zappers of the same specs are available in TL forms too. That will be a dirrect fit.
    Motul 5100 Semi-synth oil for great performance and smooth operation. But after 4-5k on ODO.
    Better hand grips, sometimes they hurt.
    Regular chain cleaning, specially on the rainy days, or you will get sound from chain.

    Do these and the bike will perform to its peak. And do not forget to do the run-in. These things are most important to enjoy the beast at its best.

    Keep riding.

      How much did it cost for Motul 5100 15W50?? right now i'm using 15W50 mineral oil.. planning to change it with semi synthetic soon.. and to synthetic after that!!

        Well, I don't know how much it is in India, but in Sri Lanka, it is about $15.50.

        Well, I think you really "don't" have to use Fully Syn in your P135. Motul 5100 SS will be more than sufficient for P135. Using FS oil would be a total waist of money in this bike. We don't use this bike for a long long continuous touring and rev hard to the limit all the time, do we??
        But if you have money to spend, go for FS without any second thoughts

        • BUT, wait until your bike run for about 7-8k kms at least before you switch to Semi or fully synthetic, OK.

          Otherwise the actual runing-in process of your engine will be delayed by SS or FS oil coz, in simple words, SS or FS oil protects engine parts from wear and tear by forming a thin layer of oil between two frictional parts. So the friction will be less and hence if you use SS or FS oil in a new engine, say, the "polishing" of the frictioning parts, will delay!
          That so called "polishing" of frictioning surfaces is a vital part of engine run-in especially in engines where run-in's are recomended by the manufacturer.(like Bajaj and all)
          Because of the oil layer that form by SS or FS oil between frictional surfaces, it will reduce frictional force, hence it allows the motion of parts more freely, therefore engine vibrations and noise will reduce and smoothness will increase as wel!
          So let the engine to settle down by using normal mineral oil for about at least 7-8k kms.

          You might know this already but I post it just for infomation

                        well the upgrade is just the cosmetic one...including the half chain cover,0-ring chain,split mud-guard and the black engine(colour)...thats all !

                        • Iam Facing a prob!
                          When i switch on 'Engine switch'...it makes a ''pop'' sound and creates a smell as if a wire is short circuited!!

                          it occurs at some times only...

                            ask the service centre people to check the starter relay and starter magneto springs. when the left side of the engine cover is opened you will come across a magneto housing with small springs .one of the springs might be broken.this springs tend to break after prolonged use so usually i get the whole spring kit replaced every 10000 km.they come cheap as well, so no worries there.

                                Hey buddy.. you live in Sri Lanka!! I wasn't aware that P135LS is launched there ya.. you are right.. logically P135LS doesn't need FS.. i'll check about cost of SS here in Bangalore.. by the way.. how many kms does SS do before changing it.. (I've already completed 7k on my bike.. so.. looking to change to SS now)
