    Give this man an award for extracting this much in city!!!!

    My FI gives me 35-40 overall.
    And if i'am in a boy racer mood for a month, it'll hover around 20-25.

      Whoa! I was worried that my RTR 180 gives me around 35, consistently .. not going to worry about that again! The only time I got more than 40 per litre was during running in.
      Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

      • ive experimented with 3 oils: Castrol Power 1 was absolute malarky...total crap. 2. AGIP, i found this the best oil...bike revved freely, FE was great, and it didnt heat up 3. Motul, which im running now...isnt as great as AGIP, i.e the engine likes to really heat up, even during short jaunts in the city .

          Which AGIP oil did you use? Where do you get it in Bangalore and what's the price?

              Give some more time for motul, I actually experienced change only after 800km with motul, Now after 2500km it is still strong.

                Very True I used Petronas during my Leh ride and Its Very Good Oil in its Price (got 400rs for can) did Mum-Leh (1800kms of pure highway run and another 800-1000kms of offroad and full on ghats ripping) Still whn i changed oil in Leh it was in Good condition
                So those people who just love to rip bike till redline in every gear tyr Petronas Sprinta 5000 10w40 Fully Synth
                One Problem m facing is now Oil is comming out for engine head (dont know how this happend ) but if any one can guide me about this prob....baki to Oil is good
                Its not enough to know how to twist the throttle; you must have judgement to know when and where to do it.

                  Open the head cover, apply three bond, and refit the same.
                  There's lot to it other than saddle....

                      which motul your using is it 300v factory line 20w50 or 10w40, if yes then what is the result as planing to shift to fully syn oil

                        10w40 is suitable for your bike

                          I used 300v factory line 5W40. After some 1000 km ,1) Gear shift was much smoother then previously used oils.2)Engine did not heat up very soon.3)felt bike was accelerating much better. 4) After 2500km also oil viscosity and colour was as new.

                          • @ALL:

                            Any oil you guys are using, change it at 2500-3000kms, irrespective of the color and viscausity,it is showing after that.
