    I'm posting a few pics.
    The pics look quite original, how come he let you have a discount on top of a Rs.25 off?? I'll need to go haggling with my oil dealer...!

      Bro, look at the last pic. Actually Rs 25 off is by the manufacturer itself therefore New MRP Rs 208 and then he quoted Rs 200. I said Rs 180, he said Rs 195.. I said neither mine not yours take Rs 190 and snatched the bottle and vrrrrrooooooommm.. (well, not the last part)

            Many options are available,Gulf Pride 4T Plus 20W40 and Motul 3000 4T Plus 20W40 are good oils.Cost less than 225rs.Tried and tested by ZMA users.

            -what mileage can i expect from my bike- its 27kmpl
            Will be according to the traffic conditions and riding style.

            -after how much km should i change my engine oil
            If using HH oil,Replace every 1000kms,If using gulf or motul,will lasts more than 2000kms for sure.

                  I'm no expert, first of all.
                  1. Best? I don't know. I'm following the hit n trial method based on the experience of majority users here. I'll use oils according to what fits me the best and gives me "peace of mind".
                  2. How old is your bike? Mine never gave such figures from Day 1 in all riding conditions. I didn't follow the normal run-in procedure either
                  Normal mileage is above 35 kmpl in city+highways and 41+ kmpl in highways when ridden below 80 kph.
                  3. depends on the oil and the kind of riding you do most of the time.
                  4. I'm from Kolkata and I'm looking for the same. You can find more info from Light threads, e.g. http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...d-etc-314.html

                    any1 which looks true white as we call it hid or something
                    i just check these ones Philips Lighting India - BlueVision ultra

                    or any u know which comes a little cheaper that will completely fit in proper a HID color chart | Xenon colour chart
                    a 5000k projection

                    my issue is that i am unable to see anything at night with my default light,so i just need a light so that i get a clear visibility as in calcutta there are too many patholes and uneven roads

                        Always Power? I don't think it is recommended. Although engine response and smoothness is better I've felt that. I use normal unleaded most of the times with occasional use of HP Power.

                              me too want something that is just properly visible for me as with hid there is problem in landing with arguments with the police and than paying fine.

                              so cant decide hoping to get a proper recommendation for lights but want it to be white and not blueish

                              how about philips xtreme vision 55/60 can i use this
