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..

@ 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)
What could be the issue here?

Wow!..great info..
OT: i wonder how those air-cooled engine cars are manages..

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

There isn't no glitch.If you rely on the indicator then you have to position the bike at exactly the same angle both horizontally and vertically whenever you take a reading. Since the gauge (most probably) shows the level with reference to the angle/tilt of the tank , any slight deviation might make it fluctuate . This I had noticed in my car too .

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

400rs



You can get ZMR's rear disk,All will cost you nearly 10k.



Congrats for your new Karizma and Ride Safe.

Thanks bro will do .....

Look HERE for Philips LED Pilot Bulb.

This was really helpfull,

Flip pages back. Don't want to post same queries and answers again and again.

I learned that riding the bike from such long time, that it may show sometimes show wrong readings but it is an observation from quite while having close watch to readings that I get when I usually filled the petrol.
Those readings suddenly started get some mismatch from few weeks back.

Sir,if I want to get this corrected what all expense I need incur?

the problem could also be the fuel sending unit(tank float). to confirm, remove the connector to the fuel sending unit (under tank)and fix a resistor of 400-500ohms to the connector(female i guess).this should be done before turning on the bike.if your fuel indicator blinks continuously, then your sending unit isn't working properly.

Will do that

^^Yes RTR's pads are straight fit.

May be the Speedo Sensor Problem,A small chip,It will cost you nearly 3k.

Then there is something wrong with it.Get it checked from an A.S.S .

If that's the case then you might want to do as BOND 001 says.

Thanks bro.


PSR Sir Urgent Help needed.

Checked Oil level and Sparkplug today.

Oil level is low. So checked spark plug,Found that its dark,Coz i am running rich,And can see oil in the tip of the plug,So its burning Oil right? Will it be solved after the Valve Stem Seal Replacement?

I can see oil in the tip and the white area as marked below.

How many Kms on this spark plug ? if it is about 500 km nothing to worry...there is no oil leak into your cylinder as per plug pic. even the threads are dry.
with slight stem seal leak in my ZMA i don't see oil level going down..don't panic..get reading of oil level when in main stand and after stopping bike for at least 15 minutes.Even then the level check is approximate, and after 1 K kms if the oil comes from max to in between level nothing to worry..If you have oil leaks then you should check it out...When you park your bike in night , keep a white paper under engine area and cross check in morning for oil stains.
