Wow... Guess for the Indian market only 20w40 and 10w30 are available.

PSR Sir, I am using 300V 15W50 right now and I am using this oil for last 4k km. My odo reading is 9K. This is my 2nd 300V fill and the 1st one I have drained after 1.5k of usage.
The main reason I am using this oil is that I prefer long distance travelling and in most of the time I do without any break. So, I have felt even after riding the bike at 100kmph for 600km, the oil is perfectly fine. I have done 30 km uphill climb after that.
I have found the power delivery is same like HH 10W30 in throughtout the RPM range, though a little bit sluggish at 1st gear. Few times I also have rode the bike in redline touching 130 kmph on the odo.
I only do one thing, before taking my bike out, I do a proper worm up for 4 to 5 mins, because I know its a thick oil and it takes time to flow throught the engine. The Motul says that this oil provides 5times stronger oil film than any petrolium oil and when burnt leavs no carbon deposits. The double ester sticks to the metal parts of the engine (unlike the POAs) leading to no cold start wear - so,complete peace of mind. But I am only sceptical about the grade - time'll tell if I am wrong or right.

@ahwinprakas: would you mind telling anything about those SMD LED lamps? alongwith pics

If you'r intending to get a full time day light running lamps, then they are you'r best option, though they cost 650/- they are surely worth every single penny.


They are of equal brightness comparing the low beam of my 55/60W OSRAM head lamp.

But if you'r not willing to shell out so much then you can also go for the non SMD versions, Im not aware of their costs but one of my friends are using it, even though they dont do much good as daylight running lights they sure are eye turners at night.

Will post pics later with his permission.

U can also try Normal LED lights if interested in Front parking light and Number Plate light (Will save atleast 7-8 Watts IMO)

The pic shows that the lights are very nice. And you wrote "They are of equal brightness comparing the low beam of my 55/60W OSRAM head lamp." Only in brightness???
And I trust you guys here so I can go for them even though they cost Rs. 650! Tell me the procedure to get them.
Also, if possible, do post the pics also which you're telling about so that it is easier for me to decide the best.

Well, I definitely want anything in LED that looks good(like the above one, with that brightness as an extra advantage), and I don't want the same typical look of those 5w bulbs!

@sunny_

We have already discussed LED pilot/headlights in detail. If you could just go back would find the details. Jist is that, too many unbranded products available right from what you could afford. Also reputed brands available at a premium price tag.

@ all Experts... pls Examine my Spark plug

LEAN. Is this NGK G Power? How old is the plug?

Yes.. Its G Power.... I think its more than one year old and clocked around 16k with it

Bought Motul 3000

Hi

I bought Motul 3000 20w40 at Rs 190 today evening in Jaipur.
I'll post the results later when I use it.

The price seems to be low..make sure the oil is not fake..The oil should be Golden yellow and clear..It is a good oil to use for 2,000 Kms.

Plug looks ok but the ground electrode shows that it is getting hot...you may be running lean AFR or most of the time above 4 k RPM.Your FE must be above average.(32 city at 60-70Kmph and 41 highways at 80 -100 Kmph).
Since you had completed 16 K Kms with it,time to change

It is written on the bottle Old MRP Rs 233, New MRP Rs 208 (Rs 25 off) and he was ready(finally) to give at Rs. 190!
I'm posting a few pics.

Here's it






Sorry for the cam quality.
