    with the neutral light bit, it is incorrect gear slotting.. iv to hit it very hard at such times and it slots properly.. lol.. what i meant to ask was will this settle after a while(i mean will the gears free up with use)?

    hopefully the airlock issue gets settled durin the service.. very annoyin! happens twice daily at least! lol...

    think i will go for a trip to nandi hills sometime during the weekend.. should be fun...

    and where should i get the oil changed? the sc?
    Yess the gears will be very smooth after your 1st service..i had a similar experience even with the Airlock issue..it got solved after the 1st service.
    You can change the oil at any garage but please use the HH Mineral oil only.

          Yeah at the SC, try to use a HH oil by idemitsu (check manufacturer). I have heard that its better than the BP one. Both are sold as HH Engine oil though.

            2nd service

            My bike is due for 2nd service. It has done some 2800+ kms. I don't trust sai motors mechanics anymore since they are unable to fix my gear shift problems.

            Bangalore guys, Please let me know which HH service center does a decent job ? Also, my bike has run 2800+ kms and i just came to know that the second service was due at 2800 kms. Does the 25+ kms that I have done over 2800 voids the warranty of the bike ?

            Cheers,

                  Hello Guys

                  I am planning to put Motul 30004t 10w-30 mineral oil in my new 600km done karizma

                  I checked out the service center here and not sure if i can trust them with my 1st service ....they have soooo many bikes lined up for service i am thinking they will just wash my bike/change oil thats it... and hand it to me

                  I know a trusted Mech in my area who used to service my Honda unicorn from 1st service and did a very good Job also he has done a good job in servicing my friends ZMA

                  guys please advise during my first service what are the things i should have him check as he will be servicing the bike right in front of my eyes

                  Guys please advise

                    I bought my bike from Prakash motors. First service was done at Nikhi motors near Mekhri circle.
                    Like vinfreak, i too vouch for a decent job done by them. Talk to Mr. Sudhakar and im sure he'll get your problems resolved in the servicing

                    @Dreamz: Where on earth did you manage to procure Motul 30004T in 10W30 spec man?
                    Me wants it too !
                    Was told that the 30004T is available only in 20W40 format...

                      AFAIK, it comes only in the 20W40 grade.

                        The Motul 3000 4T 10W30 900ml bottles were available earlier but have disappeared from the market since about an year I think. Someone confirmed from a Motul Distributor that it is available in 50 liter cans though...

                        Ravi pulled out a can from his Kitchen recently while cleaning the Kitchen after about an year! I guess he is raring to try it ASAP.

                          Do they really check the ODO reading? The guys at Sur just ask for the ODO reading. I dnt think they are that strict with these issues.

                            Somehow lost that bottle and recently found it while cleaning the kitchen. I have 2.5 bottles of Petronas Sprinta, One bottle of CP1R, and one bottle of Motul 10w30.

                              Yes i bought 3 cans of Motul 30004T available in 10W30 today from Mumbai

                              when i checked the bottle manufacturing date it was SEP 2008

                              So guys do you think Motul is a good oil for ZMA as i have used motul Mineral 20w40 in my unicorn in the past and the oil really ROCKs

                              Also please can someone provide me what should i check while the Mech does the first service

                                @Dreamz: Use the Motul stuff man. Its definitely better if not on par with the HH stuff IMO

                                P.S: Someone guide me as to where i can get the 10W30 Motul in Bangalore !!
