Re: Bajaj Avenger - All versions
There has never been a better machine in my life.
Need some help.
Please tell what to use for rust prevention on engine area & underbody.
Something that will not ignite by itself on a long ride.
Anybody?I love bajaj. Just not its hair oil, engine oil & lighting.

I generally use kerosene and coconut oil mixture(Cheap and healthy) to prevent rusting of metal parts. But as you have mentioned I think it will not be your choice. So "Mr.Metal" polish will be good option for you. Apply it on the metal parts as directed and enjoy mirror like shine. There are some other brands also out there. Try the one that suits you the most.

Re: Bajaj Avenger - All versions
Time for repaint!!!
Its been 4 years since i bought the bike and the aluminum paint or plating has started to peel of from engine case. I would like to repaint my avenger with a company class theme paint like same plasma blue from bajaj sinve its an eye catcher than the rest and mainly some nickel chromium plating over engine case like the one shown in pic. Would also like to change handlebar.
Please i welcome all to suggest me some cool paint ideas if you have.

1. HID lamp kit - KDO - Rs.1,200
2. Dual horn - the stock was a bit pissweak; this one's louder but doesn't shatter eardrums - 250 bucks
3. Theft-protection alarm - 900/-, Indian one, looks tacky but at least has a manufacturer's warranty (though dunno what good that is if the bike gets stolen )
4. More comfy grips - 200/-
5. Enfield saddlebag - Rs.500/- from Khajanchi - there are two of them, one in a narrow lane, and one on a wide road. This was from the wide road.
Then went to the other Khajanchi; a full plush seat which also pads / widens pillion seat will cost Rs.800 - said he'll take 1 hour. Tried a sample he had there - heaven - feels like sitting on a (slightly firm) bean bag ! Also selected a handlebar which gives a wider grip (helps greatly in 180-degree turning from stop) - said he'll fit it with all the original cables - Rs.600 + 100/- for mechanic.
That's my 2-bit contribution for the day,
Now need some help - I need a mechanic in my area (Vasant Kunj or nearby) to whom I can take the bike for general tinkering / fittings - recommendations / PM's / emails welcome !

Well am confused with two bike color mainly
1.Maroon as shown early
2. Matt brown or chocolate brown as shown...
Should the exhaust be matt black with chromium plating or leave as stock as such

Hey [MENTION=77700]bencherian[/MENTION], 1 question to you bro. What engine oil are you using on your avenger now and what is the most suitable you think? As till now I am not very confident on a single brand.Phoenix Came, Saw and Conquer My Heart, Forever...

But I suggest not to go for the only copper as it'll look dull. But my vote will be towards that maroon one as it is really gorgeous. To prevent the scratches you can use the carnauba wax polishing. It'll protect the colour very well.

But i would suggest Motul 5100 semi synth..cos i did not get this time...and gng on for next time... Valvoline 4t is also good... Make sure its semi synth oil..as semi synth do a better than mineral and can be changed around 3000
