        try Waxpol. Great Stuff. Give the bike a wash, and wax it with waxpol and after a minute wipe, with a clean cotton cloth. No Flakes, No dryness!

            Performance is ok. Nothing great. I'm not experiencing any improvements over Yamalube Semi-Synth. I changed to this oil at 11500km on ODO. Gearshifts sometimes clack in the first 3 gears. Engine performance is the same, probably jus gives you good engine protection on high-speed long distance riding (my kind of usage).

            • How is a mileage of 33-34kmpl on moderately spirited driving - normally rpms will be between 5k-9k rpms... touches redline a couple of times. Is this normal? The poll at the top suggests its somewhat lower. Also, its ridden with a pillion for half of the distance.

                I have a similar riding style, but without a pillion. & I get 35kmpl.
                Some of them get higher figures, but 35 ain't bad either.
                With a pillion, 33-34 sounds fine to me.

                The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

                  I think its perfectly normal mileage. Thats how much I'm getting under similar conditions. The max mileage i've got is 41kmpl when riding solo with proper mileage riding (not crossing 5k rpm on any gear, highest speed being 60 - 65kmph). Lowest mileage i've got is 27kmpl during a Bangalore G2G (chasing the xBhp Ninja's at 120 - 130kmph )

                  • Thanks for the assurance guys. Even I felt this is normal mileage. It is a tough job to ride this bike below 7k rpm, traffic conditions permitting! I think I will continue to see similar mileage only!

                      You can try turtle wax xtoo but its slightly on the costlier side.

                        35Kmpl is right on, under spirited riding, though the definition of spirited riding depends from person to person.
                        But, I do manage to get a 40-42 Kmpl in City. Riding in range of 5-7k RPM.
