But if you can manage to find Veedol Super Swift go for it, its the best and most VFM oil you can get. Its 10W40, Semi-Synth, ~250 bucks, but let me warn you that its very very hard to find. For starters you can see this!

Praful,

finally managed to get hold of Super Swift

Giving the bike(eFi) for service on Monday. Will keep you guys posted.

the missing problem tht u r mentioning is probably b/w 2000-3000 rpm, yes this problem persist in the bike but after 2nd service u will find it vanished to some extent, a major fault tht iam facing is my bike's engine gets turns off itself although the fuel tank is filled with more than 4 ltrs of petrol.

on the other side performance of my bike is really devastating i.e i got 0-60kmph mark in just 4.2secs and attains top speed of128kmph.
mileage:48kmpl.

i guess these problems r related to fuel injection only.
btw wht is ur bike's idle rpm?
it should b arnd 1400rpm!

ya!!!!!!!
apart from that "missing" the bike is flawless

the fuel filter which is located just after the outflow fuel pipes from the tank(small box type black in colour) i thought of replacing it on the first service and when i went to the showroom to ask its price the guy told me 4000bucks

i asked him thrice and even showed that to him and his answer was the same sayin it comes with the sensor attached to it!!!!!!!!
the price is too much just for the fuel filter.........

**_keerthy** · 11-02-2008, 09:57 AM

^^^ Now i understood why the Fi is costlier than the Carbed RTR. Its because of the things like advanced fuel filter and stuff. LOL
Just kidding...

But whats the life of the fuel filter? It must be specified in the manual.

**pundrick** · 11-03-2008, 06:41 PM

Osram Nightbreakers 60/55w H4's.

Are they OK for RTR?

**Puneet1** · 11-03-2008, 10:39 PM
