        The problem is there is no option to purchase it online. They do not ship it outside Pune! Ridiculous, really.

          The SAE90 oil is totally VFM.

          Also am using Veedol SAE 90 oil it wrks fine the only disadvantage is as Niranjan mentioned it gets splattered on the mags which looks bad.
          Well even chain spray's splatter!
          I've used chain sprays for close to 15K kms (Wurth+OKS), after using both gear oil and chain spray I've learned that its more about the technique(method of application) that actually makes a diff. With gear oil I get minimal splatter these days.

          I'll try and put up a post for cleaning and maintaining the our chains. Coz my chain sprocket lasted really long, I got it changed at 20K kms, which is a lot more than what it usually runs. So IMHO, I must be doing something right... <hopefully>

          My first chain spray (Wurth) lasted me almost 10K kms. And I used it really really liberally. But the 150/- rupees of gear oil will definitely last me the lifetime of my bike. So yes its totally VFM!

          Well they have categorically mentioned that they don't do deliveries, but the website allows you to place an order....

                Its been there for a while actually, payeng. The website had it long time back. I visited the DSG retailers today in Bangy, but they didn't have the NGKs.

                    Get it loosened right away! Even some good bike mechanics can help you. Not necessary from PBK.

                    I had posted this before crash.They are some simple steps when u start the bike.
                    I had also experienced something similar.

                    1) Start the bike and put her on main stand,
                    2) Put her in first gear and let the wheel rotate freely,
                    3) the rotating of the wheel is not smooth and the engine sputters,
                    4) the wheel will rotate with varying speeds and it will even drop to low speeds,don't worry it will not stop,
                    5) after some time the speed will stabilize and so will the sputtering of engine,
                    6) your bike has now come to a stable state and can ride her.

                    This method works everytime for me in the morning. The bike is smooth for the rest of the day!

                      U'll probably get this thing @ Orion Motors, B'lore (the yamaha auth. showroom). Btw... I got mine from there (to Mumbai) only

                      The Motul Chain Spray does not stain the rims as Oks does. The motul thing is more 'sticky' than the other sprays.
                      Btw... am using Oks... and pretty satisfied with its performance.... just spray it less.... to avoid stains.

                      @Pranay: NGKs are available at JC Rd.... heres the address from NGK India website

                        I pray that u put up a thread ASAP and make it sticky as well after getting a mod's permission. It wud be helpful for newbies like me!!! Start from how to remove a chain to how u put it back. Maintaining an open chain seems to be more demanding than maintaining a chain with a closed cover!!! Damn...

                          yeah.. i remember you posted this earlier on xbhp... but how does it help the chain? If i m right, this method is for checking engine harshness right? Still, iwill give it a try and secondly, get the chain loosened a bit.

                          Btw, any theory as to how ur method logically works will be appreciated!
                          Thanks again!

                                errr... i am not an engineer, but figured this way out somehow! I guess something in the engine area from where the chain comes out of it, re arranges itself! That is my theory!
