      • Let us grow up and stop with the fastest,longest,strongest .. about things..
        Be the fastest on the race track,not on roads,... strongest in facing up to challenges thrown by life,..not with our loved ones...and let our life be longest by being helpful to others.....Just my thought.

          I feel it is indeed better than the regular grease.
          The grease differ depending on their property of lube , heat ,and purpose .What you have bought may be multipurpose from your description. Since the effect is there should serve the purpose.

          Sir visited SVC and enquired the expense for changing Valve Stem Seals,Service manager told me "it will cost you nearly 500rs,as it is a karizma,we need some time and need to open up the engine head to get it fixed",so i will do it with in 2 weeks,So should i have to do or adjust anything while changing the Valve stem Seals?tappet adjusting or something?
          So long as the leak is less and not fouling the plug there is no need to open the Engine for this purpose...You can afford to wait for some more time...till the plugs foul or engine oil drops fast.

          • I'd read somewhere that in a 4 stroke bike , some air-fuel mixture returns to the carb before the valves are shut completely . Is it true ?

              If you can, let us know the specs of your friends zma.

              Am using joel's tuned ffe. was running
              Out of glass wool... So the flames.
              Will enquire about the spec, when I see him,heard he's going to bangalore to get get it modded or custom painted or whatever . Anyways the only valuable info I have now is that this bike was bought during 2005.

              Flames look cool.

                Oops, Sorry if i got carried away. And am not trying to argue in any way, Its just that im abit curious about the bike.
                Cause it accelerates at a much faster rate than mine especially since mines new and this is 5+ yrs old.


                And about the top speed, Isnt it 150kmph on speedo???

                  Yup, I didnt get to see the bike after the dual disc mod was completed so am not exactly sure about the marginal difference in cylinder size, all i know is that it has been replaced with a bigger setup.

                        ( Another crazy idea - maybe)

                        What will happen if we fit a reed valve (the ones in RX100 ) just before the cylinder?

                            • ^^ Nice! The Philips Premium 55/60W did not work much on the highway. Was tailing an Indigo this morning for proper road illumination.
