          A Motul retailer has the 10w40 grade semi sync oil. I checked the seal and the sticker says "Imported December 2008". Is there any problem if its old?

            Tool kit which came with bike is sufficient. You will need an additional allen key only.
            There's lot to it other than saddle....

              2 years is shelf life of most oils in standard storage conditions . i will recommend not to use the old oil unless you have already purchased it . if you have purchased it then drain it earlier than recommended

              • motul 5100 is good in RTR. get 300V if possible!

                My RTR's front tyre MRF Zapper FY(R15 front tyre) is worned out. Am either going for the same tyre or Dazzler front tyre. Any other suggestions?

                  though it was mentioned that helmets were cumpulsary for all the participants, i did see lot of them without it!

                  I did'nt not participate as i did'nt want to take a risk. We have to ride around the city (all 4 cornors) during sunday morning. Everyone would obviously rip and i know how hyderabadi's rip So i did'nt take a chance!

                    I have already purchased it. How much kilometers do you reckon should I drive it on? The local mechanic says 3500 easy.

                        After using r15 tyre, no way am gonna get Zap FS! besides i got used to the 80/90 sec. 90/90 would feel a bit uncomfy for me.

                        BTW, i got the r15 tyre today and replaced it and the handling was just amazing! Scrapped the foot pegs after 2 yrs! MRF Zap FY and Michellin pilot sporty combo rocks
