Hello

could some one please point out the cost of the engine cover of the zma-r ?

thank u...

With all screws, metal frame, and the cowl, it would cost around 850 bucks. I do not know the individual part prices. Combined is 850 bucks.

thank you ravi...

Just bought a bottle last week from Metro for 167 bucsk. It will be my next change.

Ravi awaiting your review of Gulf 10W30. I am still using HH 10W30.

Just got my bike serviced..1st service at 500kms..the bike has become smoother esp the gear shifts..it takes almost no effort to slot gears...

HOw come 167?? I got it for Rs. 200... printed price is 209. He gave you so much discount?

Got it from Metro Cash and Carry. If the oil is good, I am gonna buy around 10pc and keep with me.

Thats a very important point made by Inder, see i know all of us well very much understand that we should stick to the recommended HH oil during run in, however the temptations might take over, so better set a pointer.

Folks, i would like to share a long term report of the Castro Power1 Racing, it might not be needed but that's really what blogs and forums are for :-). Anyways those interested may read on, its been close to 1.5k kms i am running my ZMA on CP1R, the gearshift and clutch were smooth initially, however that could be because i got the bike serviced then. Now, well they are not bad but are back to their normal self i dont think the Oil adds anything or takes away anything in this area, no brownie points here. The engine runs smooth, however there is one change which i feel about all of the Out of rating oils may it be Castrol Power 1 racing or Veedol Swift is that the engine seems like holding up a little during mid range, i mean the power delivery is not the smoothest. Talk about top whack and once you start moving close to the rev range in red, i think this is the range where you think the 750 bucks are well spent. The power delivery smoothes out and the mill behaves rock steady and i can feel the vibrations are not as much as i exp on the HH oil.

My latest trip to pune was done at constant speeds in the range of 90-120 and the bike never seemingly lost its sheen in terms of power, first stop was pretty obviously in Lonavala for a fag. Surprisingly, the heat from engine was too minimal, never experienced this before on my ZMA, infact i think as we drive faster the oil gets better and the bike feels steadier, game set match.

In my opinion if you are more of a tourer sorts and flee our crowded metropolises well before the dawn, castrol power 1 racing is the oil for you you will love it if you ride long and hard, you would not loath it in city either. Well may be yes coz of the price tag. I would still recommend HH standard oil or Motul 10W30 mineral. That seriously doesnt mean that CP1R is bad just that its too pricey for the qualities it brings to the table, top end performance will blow you though.

Well said man. Those were my observations too, not just with CPR1, but with all synthetic oils. It is true that the synthetics do good at higher speeds in containing heat. I have never found the oil to be any good at our normal speeds. After using all these synthetics, I am back to normal HH mineral oil and I am very happy with that. I even found the gear shifting to become hard with synthetics. It would be better to stick to mineral oils and save extra moolah!

@ravi thanks for the info.Seems like CP1R is made just for me
completed 1500km on elf 10w 30. even i dont feel like changing the oil.
my power1 racing bottle is rusting behind the washing machine gonna change it tomorrow.

anna......where is this metro cash and carry? i need to get some for my CBR too
