    Guys using Gulf Pride 4t Mineral 10W30 since last 1000k. Awesome oil - engine and gear shift are really smooth. Oil has not lost its effect even a bit after 1k. Will easily last for next 1.5k. Much better than HH and Motul Mineral
    How much is the price bro? What about Castrol Power 1 10W30?One of my friend recommended me that oil!

      • Today, I have faced few weired problems with my bike - the 2011 HH Karizma-R, purchased on 10Feb'2011 and 1654 on the odo.

        While releasing the clutch leaver and opening the throttle very slowly, I found the engine is knocking but if I open the throttle fast, there is no knocking.

        In 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear if I try to touch the redline, the engine is knocking a bit. But at the 5th gear, at higher RPM the engine is knocking loudly.

        I have checked the spark plug, its light brown.

        While on idle, i can hear the tappet sound.

        Plenning for second service tomorrow, but I am really depressed with that incident. The knocking is hurting my engine.
        But one information guys, I am getting FE above 40kmpl.

        I hardly bothers for the FE(to some extent), I just want a good ride and long lasting trouble free engine. So, should I go for upgrade the curb Jets?

        PLEASE HELP ME GUYS........!
        Move on.........

              Bro when we drain oil through the drain bolt,only 900ml can be drained ,Right? Karizma contains 1.2l of engine oil fully,So doesn't that balance 300ml oil remains there? Can we mix different oils? How can we drain that oil?

                  Amritras India

                  My bike Karizma R has run 2k so far. I am noticing that vibration level have increased. I can feel it in my legs coming from the tank. Any clue why this is happening?

                  In my last free service i noticed that i have been billed for 1200ml of engine oil , but the manual says oil change must be 900ml. Has the service center guys made a mistake? Also my mileage is 30 in city.

                  P8 i heard abt this KIT bt it comes wid a set of 2.. mostly car user use them ...
                  Cn i know how much is the cost ?

                    Karizma's total oil capacity is 1.2 L ,But you can drain only 900ml through the drain bolt,if they opened the engine,They might have to fill it with 1200ml of oil!Did they opened the engine?

                      The full capacity is if you do an engine strip down...normally a refill takes about 900 ml....we are not mixing different oil..just that whatever can be drained is drained and refilled..so no probs...i had switched from HH to Gulf and feeling good I did...gears shifts smoothly and engine is less noisy.

                          U need to drain old brake fluid and fill dot4 fluid in that container. Just take the bike to a good mechanic, it should not take more than 10 min to do it.

                            Single is also available. I think it costs in the range of 3500Rs. But for bike different wiring is required it seems. Satya from Evo told me this.

                              NO they did'nt open the engine. I hate going there, jus waiting till the free services are over. THey keep your bike whole day with them and spend max 1 hour on it.

                              • Today I went to a road side mechanic and got all the nuts and screws tightened. Some where too loose. The vibration seems to have reduced. But there is one sound tak which comes from the front tyre area when i go fast on potholes. Bike has run 2200km till date.
