    It is DPR 8 EA9 for normal stock plug and DPR 8 EGP 9 for "G" power.

          The center electrode TIP of a "G Power" power is made of Platinum of 0.6 . This helps in concentrated power release, and even at lower Voltage like at starting, gives better power...So using "G" power plug gives better cold start,acceleration ,and FE....Better than the other plugs. Like a normal plug you need to change it at 12 to 15 K Kms....since the ground electrode gets eaten by the spark...

            I switched to NGK iridium spark plug when my bike was around 5000KMs old and now it is around 19000KMs. What is the interval for changing iridium spark plugs? AFAIK they last long!

              They lasts for about 30k kms ensure that svc guys doesn't fiddle with it during the servicing.

                20000 miles = 32000 km . Do they last that long ? What is the safe limit to change the plug ?

                  Get the front sprocket cleaned.

                    Changed R3X again after 1200 Km. Gear shifting improve & less heat. But color changed to dark brown, pic uploaded. Still 1L is remaining in my 5L after R3X will going to use Rimula 4. Thanks to PSR for this oil.

                      How is it that this oil changes colour after such a short run?? I used to pour Castrol Magnatec 15W40 in my zma long ago once in three to four thousand kms and it was not this black even then. Guess thats a four-wheeler diesel oil too. Do r3X users drain this fast normally??

                        Mineral oils usually have a drain period of 1500 kms. You can stretch this to 2000 or even longer, but the performance degrades by then, as the oil molecules break down.
                        Semi Synthetic oils last longer, and synthetic oils the most. One can choose their poison (and price, accordingly).
                        A note about the Rimula R4/R3X is that they contain cleaning additives (soot binds to the molecules). Shell Rimula R4 - Shell Global

                            Thanks for the kind words bro. I'm a learner myself and this is one of the basic stuff to keep in mind. Get yourself any chain lube (the big bottle) and lube the chain every 300-400 kms. Monsoon may require more frequent lubing. Just ensure that your chain doesn't run dry. Famous products for lubing the chain - Motul lube, Tribocor lube, Diamond lube (Diamond makes Karizma and CBZ sprockets). Any of these would set you back by ~500 rupees and would last 4-5 months.
                            Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

                              I heard that worn out rubber damper inside the rear wheel hub affects chain and sprockets directly. Any idea what that it is Sharan?

                                Its function is to dampen the stress between the sprocket and the wheel assembly - reduces the wear n tear caused due to throttle or gear changes.
                                If it looks scathed or worn, better to replace else would eventually lead to a slight wobbling of the wheel and eventually it would kill the sprocket.

                                Its a black rubber part (4/5 pieces) that fits in the rear wheel. The sprocket then goes over it.
