    1 yr , will definitely need a top up.
    I have checked while it was cold! And the level was perfect. I thought maybe while the water pump is operating, I'll get a different reading.

    Surprising, its lasted so long!
    You get the point?? :D

          i think the coolant brand is not a big deal. any good redimix coolant will do. tomorrow i am draining my cooling system and refilling with mak redimix coolant-the one i use for my zen car.in the service manual they say any coolant with antifreeze can be used so no chance of a warranty violation for using a different coolant.

            Exactly. The coolant isn't an issue, as long as you drain the previous coolant completely. Because most coolants dint mix well with other cooling fluids. Motul Motocool mixes with everything else. So things to check:
            1) Coolant compatibility.
            2) Corrosion inhibitors.
            3) The temperature range, over which protection is offered.
            4) The right mix. If you're adding water.

            My update: Bike done 12,800kms.
            Using Motul 300vFL 15w50.
            Going strong. Engine is still super smooth. gearshifts are maska.
            Removed the steering and lubed the bearings & races at 12.6K kms myself.
            Running a new Airfilter since 12.3K kms.
            Chain puller is one notch ahead of no. 4.
            Oil filter will be changed at next oil change.
            Returning an efficiency of 33kmpl.
            You get the point?? :D

              Thanks for info guys, wanted to know how would I come to know if I need to add water or not..?
              the can says that the coolant is ethylene glycol based - and it also says "coolant concentrate"...so the question is..water to be added or not ?

                        do mot use concentrate coolant. use redimix. the manual says you can even use distilled water if proper coolant is not available temporarily. all these premix coolants are nothing but water added with some additives.

                          ^^^ actually, water is the best coolant. The 'coolant' we add benefits us by changing the vapourising point of water to a higher temp and by making it anti-freeze. Thus delivering preformance even in extreme situations.

                            Problem with gearing.

                            Guys there is a problem with my friend's R15 gearing.

                            Whenever 1st gear is applied and clutch released the gear comes into neutral on its own and now the frequency of this happening has also increased. Its like to engage 1st gear you need to apply the gear, keep your foot on the gear pedal and then release the gear.

                            Same this is happening with second gear as well. You need to apply 2nd gear, with the help of your toe keep the lever in that particular position and then release the clutch. If this is not done the gear would come to neutral.

                            The gears have become very soft. Unlike earlier whenever gear was engaged to any level and distinct "tak" was heard. Now its like you just need to give a slight nudge to upshift or downshift.


                            Any inputs on this???
