    Any idea how much a full synthetic engine oil costs ,and which one is the best , would want to try it once atleast
    Wrong. My bike has/had a valve issue. It is a component failure problem, not any service related issue.

        hello all ... feels good to be back ... I have so much to catch around 1K post after I had stopped posting but I will catch up.

        one funny issue happening with my bike .. seems the battery auto charging is not working properly. When ever on any signal if the headlight with highbeam is on along with either right or left indicator is blinking, the battery indicator on odo starts blinking but the bike wont rev automatically like it used to, I need to manually rev the bike to make that indicator go away.

        Any ideas ?

          Sensors are good , atleast on my bike including the fuel guage(which is very accurate).The only thing that bothers me for the last 5k kms is the oil sensor , which starts to blink as soon as some water is splashed on it.Again some issue with open wires , should be fixed after I'll get all the electricals changed.
          My bike's fuel guage doesn't show the correct amount of fuel. It shows full when the tank can easily take 6-7 lts more. One of the reasons why I thought my bike was giving me abysmal mileage. I faced the oil sensor problem during the monsoons. Go through a big puddle and the indicator blinks and goes away in 5-10 mins. Scared the hell outta me the first time it happened.

                My bike has that problem for the past 24K kms....And no the PBK is still stuggling to find a proper solution to it.

                The fuel gauge is not accurate, its approximate! Its like that for all... you just need to get used to it!

                The low oil indicator in monsoons, happened to me too! But only in Bangalore, never in Chennai!

                        dude it should not cost you more than 3000. Ask him how many layers is he going to do it. My engine was painted black, its been a year and very little signs of chipping is there at the engine head. Trust me, this little chipping occurs in the company paint that Bajaj provides as well. Just see a year old P200. Little signs of chipping at the head, fins will be there. Wherever you paint it, make sure it is powder coated with atleast 3 layers before the final coat.

                        I and Kri$hna both had our engines painted black. His was a little costlier because he had to paint his two piece handlebar black as well, along with gold color in the calipers. Your mechanic is taking you for a ride if he asks more than 3k+.

                        Alloys + Engine + swingarm + 3 layers powder coat = Rs 2600

                        I can't see why he is charging you extra.

                            And adding to that, Anirudh's bike was painted for 4 coats with Du Pont paint for 2800/-. And that held up pretty well for all of the 14K kms that he'd ridden with it!
