Sir,what about Gulf pride plus 20w40? I don't know much oils,could you recommend me some good brands?What about castrol?motul? I don't want very costly oils.

Yeah,I usually change HH Oem oil @ every 1000Kms,it will become black in color very earlier,even @ 1000kms it looks like tar and it wont last i think...

What about Castrol Activ SAE 20W-40? Is it Semi synthetic or Full Synthetic?

answers in bold...
Shell also makes good oil and i will be trying it once i cross 2K Kms,from now .

SS and there are a number of fakes(Castrol) in the market..so be careful when buying Castrol oil .

I will search for Gulf Pride 4T plus 20W40 here.If it is available,then i will buy it. Thanks for the help sir.

How can we find out whether its fake or original?

Try to read the fine printing it will be smudged and you can't make out the letters, and the printing /pasting of carton will not be centered .

The chain cover is a direct bolt on and fits with out any welding to either the swing arm or the chain cover.
Since its plastic if needed the holes could be made and easily tightened with bolts.

You said the Enticer one is direct fit but i couldn't source one. Tried the dazzlers and pulsar's but hole doesnt match. Gladiators is straight fit?

@Aneesh - please use multi quote and edit option while posting back to back. Readability will be better. Thanks.

^^^ Yes the one from Yamaha Enticer. Try J.C Road,its hard to find but not impossible.
Why don't you fix the rear end first and then make a hole on the cover for the second bolt (behind the swing arm) and simple make the necessary hole to ft the other end of the cover. Being plastic it would be simple and easy....

I have tried covers from pulsar, Gladiator but all are weak and tear apart after a few days...I suggest you may try the one from Apache also.

Thanks for the info bro.
Will try to get hold of the Enticer's only. Else will order it from showroom.
I don't want any torn chain case on my ZMR

Michelin Pilot Sporty

Hi,

Has anybody put up Michelin Pilot Sporty 100/90/18 TL at the rear.

How is the ride after the change & is it better than M45?


Vishal

am not sure how it would look on the ZMR but here are few pics from my ZMA...

OMG what a mod
hats of to the guy who did this, havent seen a better mod job on any bike in india

the attention to detail is immaculate (just see the front mudguard and how the engine cowl has been designed and fitted)

the bumblebee color scheme also adds to the glory

is any R&D guy with HH taking notes, that if they have an R&D dept. in the first place

Taking into consideration that your bike has already done 4k on the odo. I would suggest to switch to semi-synthetic oil for smoothness and better rev during long rides. This is always been my choice.

Mineral oils does give value for money, no doubt. However, there needs to be a frequent change. Also, it doesn't lasts when a rider supposedly revving at higher rpms more on a regular basis.

Semi-Synthetic/Synthetic oils has an edge as they are specifically designed to withstand high revving and performs well. Though I'm not technically sound when it comes to chemicals, would go by the experience that I had with my bikes. The gear shift will be lot smoother, their chemical composition would keep the engine cool and lasts over a period of time.

You have brands:- Motul, AGIP, Shell, Petronas etc. I would hesitate recommending Castrol engine oils as there are lot fakes that has been in circulation in the market. I would not risk my bike with Castrol than go for Motul with closed eyes. Yes, Motul are costly and they are premium brand. When we care so much about our bikes, spending little extra money on the oil would definitely worth any day should you ask me!
