I am only 18 man,just got my license few weeks back. You have a job,What did i have? Only Pocket Money.

Yes,you running very lean,try atleast 3.5 turns for good results.

Even Im salaried for only a few months now. And the loan paid for my bike and my credit card pays for my fuel!

thank you ,will check the FE with 2.5 turns and then will go for 3.5.
as i am a sane rider, i dont need much performance

No. Unless it is mentioned the color temperature on the packing.

Premium are around 3000-3500k (it's my guess). There is a restriction on the color temperature and again policing differs from state to state.

One of Chennai xbhphian was fined by cops as he was running 8000k HID (Gosh! even high end cars would envy) on his RTR180. I would think, 4000-4300k is a legal color.

If I had to go for a change in Headlight, that will be 4000k as posted if not 4200k. From what the color temperature reads 4k, it should not tinge blue but white light.

No,It will over heat you engine and your spark plug will get damaged soon.Change it to 3.5 turns and check your mileage.

You said you had ridden 5k in 3 months.

Thanks for the info. Have replied in bold.

That's a brilliant figure bro.
All credit goes too PSR sir and to you too, for your sane riding.

Go with 3 turns and check your FE as I am using these settings right now and not suffering any performance lags.(Yet to have confirmation check on my FE).


@ All : Noticed minor glitch in intrument console, the fuel meter bars stps blinking when my bike is low on fuel i.e. just to hit reserve or when hits reserve. For this I switched off the ignition then restarted the bike, it again starts to blink and then goes after few mins.
Now, today I filled 500 bucks speed petrol, it showed up only 2 bars and I ran only 4Kms after getting the petrol filled. Usually it showed 3 bars( or sometimes 4 when there is some left in the reserve)with 7.58 ltrs of petrol(as Speed here is 65.90/Ltr)
What could be the issue here?

Changed front brake pads of my zma today,7 months old and done only 7.5k, as I work on construction site find the dust and dirt which i ride through the reason for early wear...the grooves were not visible at all.
Total cost-2240 after deducting 109 Rs (passport discount)

Credits goes to my brother.

Yeah,me too heard from halogen bulb users.

How much for the Pads alone? Still 2200rs +???

^^^Yes 2285

HH had reduced most of the spares prices,but still no change to price of Disk Pads.

Nice to see you taking the topic ahead...Actually for any oil the ingredients are almost the same, but the mix levels are different.This is what makes the difference between a performing one from a non performer.
In a car oil the best long lasting ,and protective oils are for the oils meant for old cars....and they are the 20W50 grade with least price yes..they contain Phosphor,Zinc,Copper,Calcium and boron in calculated levels..All of these compounds are essential for the longevity of the engine, by providing a good protective coat and making the movement of parts smooth..they are the friction modifiers we dread to use in Bikes with wet clutch..
The synthetic oils also contain additives but for stabilizing the oil's grade and molecular integrity. If the additives used are less and in quality,then that synth oil will fail to deliver.
Of the two types of engines...Air cooled and Liquid cooled , the air cooled makes the most demand on the oils due to enhanced heat,poor cooling, and sudden uncontrolled hot spots.So the oils used in them are better than one used for LC type of engines..Over the years this distinction had gone and except grade, and type the oils are getting narrower in spec and use..
The VW Beetle, Porsche 911 initial ones are all classic examples of well designed AIR COOLED engines by Mr.Ferdinand Porsche...The Beetle of WW II never saw Multigrade,or SS or FS oils....but lived as a legend through time.
We have a healthy contradiction.....so we both will learn now..

Super Like.

You at least have pocket money ..as a married man i don't even have a pocket.

careful how you use the Card

Glad people are getting good results.

something to do with the console and sensor...learn to live with it as expensive to correct

The RTR pads at 350/- are straight fit, or buy the same suitable pad of "ASK" make for 110/-

Recently , I'd changed mine since one of the pads on my ZMA R had come loose and was scrubbing on the disc whenever the wheel turned. I used the ones of CBZ (old model) and it is a straight fit. It cost me 1116/- .
According to post #655 , the ones of Apache are a direct fit and the cost is 330/- and is equal to or better than stock Nissin pads .
