semi-synth costs around 400 a litre, and fully synth about 800. FS is obviously better, so if you can afford it then go for it. ...

Search this thread, u will find lots of info.
As per most of the members the HH oil is the best for the zma.

thank u guys for calrification

Use Petronas Sprinta 50004t fully syntetic cost about 330rs

its a 10w40 oil which suits zma very well also drain period is about 3500km

Its a very good oil, i have been using it since my last change.

Can any one tel me the drain period of Motul 300V? im using it scince last 2700 kms

300V 5W 40 should be changed at 3000Kms its a racing oil does not hold as long as the 10W 40 version Thats what a 5 year old article said when i was googling and an online site that was selling the motul said to change every 3000kms.On my Xtreme i change 300V every 3500Kms, the last 300v that i drained was at 4100KMS still the ride was smooth.

" Looking at the motorcycle-specific oils, it's notable that the Motul 5W-40 version does not hold up nearly as well as the 10W-40 version (in fact, slightly worse than the auto oil). Motul and Maxima both claim that their ultra-lightweight-viscosity oils would last as long as normal 10W oils. Because we only tested the Motul version, we cannot say for sure that the Maxima Maxum Ultra would suffer the same loss. Yet our dyno test shows that both these oils post a horsepower gain. We consider ultra-lightweight racing oils such as 0W and 5W a special category of race products that should be changed on a strict regimen. Before you decide to run them, you need to weigh the risk of viscosity loss versus horsepower gains and make your own decision. Until more data convinces us otherwise, we would stick to something more practical for the street."

I think a carton of 10W 40 300V was imported the last i heard it arrived in mumbai office from france.

^^ In that case, Petronas Sprinta5000 is a very good option. VFM at 400 per liter. The drain period would be around 3.5k.

thanks for the Inputs Guys... will change to Petronas Sprinta 5000 4T soon....

problem with front number plate

Hello guys,

My front fronk makes lot of sound when it goes on pot holes, oil is also leaking frm one of the fork, i check with mechanic and changed oil seal and again oil is leaking, i dont know what to do with this problem mechanic give silly reason stating sound comes due to number plate touches front mud-guard, do i need to change number plate and what about oil leak in front fork...kindly help.....

Tell the stupid mechanic to pack things get off. He has not done proper sealing. How can the oil leak again when you put new seals? What the hell the number plate to do with the oil leak?

Help!

Guys, My speedometer is not working, along with it the tripmeter and odometer are frozen with their kms. Tachometer is working fine. What could be the possible causes? What would be the cost of spares if any have to be replaced? Thanks in advance.

The cable connecting the front wheel hub and the speedo. or may be the contact point in the wheel hub itself. Pls get them checked at your SC or a trusted mechanic.

Please get the fork oil changed at another place - preferably a HH SC with a warning that you need it done properly. Even if you do it outside please use a good branded fork oil and not those kachra ones the mechanics tend to use.

Also get your fork cone set checked. May be the number plate is a bit loose - pls get that too checked. If that was making sound - it should be hitting the mud guard, making marks on it or even breaking it.

inside the clutch case. the one who needs to change it knows where it is
