Can you tell me the exact location of the bush? Are you telling about the swingarm bush?

900 ml is the standard fill when oil is drained through oil drain bolt. Whereas 1.2 l is needed when crank case is opened. In your case since you drained oil through drain bolt( I suppose) only 900ml is needed just make sure that oil level is correct by checking the dip stick. Happy journey ride safe

.

One Tip: If riding through highway most of the time during long trips just fill tyre with air 2 psi more from the standard specification

Dont worry,take the bike to svc and get it replaced under warranty.

Oops didn't think about that

. Even I was wondering why a swing arm bush replacement for a new bike

. The part you mentioned seems not to be costly anyway I don't think its somthing worth fighting to replace under warranty even if we argue they will keep on singing " rubber parts no warranty "

.

Hi friends, not getting enough time to read daily posts and replying, I'm sorry about that. But recent updates from my side:

1. Running 3000 kms + since last service.. now 20,700+ kms on the odo

not getting time for bike servicing due to exams.

2. Recent FE was 36 kmpl, with 70% rip and 30% 60-70kph riding.

3. Motul 3000 4T Plus is a good oil on a long term basis also. (2000kms)

4. BMW 520d is an awesome car, overtook at 125kph like a jet.

The 3000 4T plus 20w40 one ? Without watching the odo you'll never know when you creep past 3000kms on that oil .. don't ask how I know

You are fine with 900ml. No worries. Remember always gradually accelerate on the highway to reach top speed. Wacking the throttle is not advised.

Vishakh - who gave this tip to you?
If you are on the long ride, it is always advised to go 1 or 2 points less in the tyre pressure. Reason? The road friction generate heat and thus adds up the pressure inside the tube. On your advise if it is 2 points increase that would amount to lot of bumpy ride and even cause it burst. Watchout!

Alternatively you can use Nitrogen gas for your vehicles. It is much lighter and stays cool so you just need to fill the company spec. You don't have to worry on a long ride for regular air checks. The pressure stays longer say even a month. That's why many riders prefer to have Nitrogen gas filled for the track use.
