    I don't know what bearing are used by OEM, but get a pack of SKF bearings and get the cone set re done. Also, one need not touch it in every service. Check for proper lubrication and wear every 8-10k kms.

    Cone set replacement usually is a time taking job (60-80 mins) and mechs usually can service a few bikes in that time.

    BTW, what do you mean by harder bearings?

    Is there any feedback after cone set upgrades to roller bearings ?? My cone set has gone bad after 12k - thanks to the roads in kolkata

    How much time do you usually leave the chain-clean(extremely flammable) to dry off before spraying chain-lube(on-road type)?

    Using sprays on fully covered chain cases is tedious/time-consuming, while just oiling is easy with an oil pump through that chain slack inspection window.

    PS: Personally, I feel Motul Chain clean/lube are over kill. I've more than half of the bottles/cans lying around.
    After applying clean i shift gears till 5 and run on it for a min or two ..
    And i take a round before and after cleaning for making chain little warm.

    Then i apply oil and let it go for the night

    if you are just oiling it wont feel a difference but cleaning and then oiling makes up a difference.

    WHAAATTTT...?????

    Dude - it my humble request please do not do this man. It is a disaster waiting to happen. I do my chain lube with the engine off and it takes a sum total of 2 minutes. What time saving are you talking about man?

    Really - please don't do this. The time you save is not worth even the risk; forget the finger.

    How much time does it save you bro? Hardly 5 mins! 5 mins isn't a big time to lose on for trading off safety.
    In fact, it takes me over 45-60 mins to do the entire process because I mostly use grease. Also, I remove the chain off the bike and dip it in grease. Wipe out the extra and the put it back in.

    Some of it may touch the bike's body parts while fitting, hence I give the bike a thorough cleaning session and detailing if time permits.
    Its all about how you feel you can best maintain the bike. It shouldn't be done for namesake.

    Well, as they say; to each his own!

    if you use the spray pipe or whatever the thing is called you wont end up losing finger but may be pipe(motul cleaner has it)
    actually i use to spray at red points as it will end up lubing from both side of chain and are easily accessible ...

    My experience states otherwise. Wherever you lube, if done properly, it would eventually lube the bearings. But, for the entire process to be more effective and the oil/lube to circulate properly, one must always lube from the inner side of the rear sprocket. That's why people ask not to do so with the bike in gear, else you may lose your fingers.

    My bike is around 3 years old,running fine.Engine feels and sound a little rough and stressed ,do the engine valves need some attention?
    I had my bike serviced last tuesday at honda asc all regular stuff including chain adjustment.Since then bike feels a bit unstable , feels like the rear wheel drifts to both sides
    at low speeds like it will come off the hub or something.I checked the bike and found one locking nut on the swingarm loose and about to fall off.After tightening it the problem still exists
    what could be the reason.?will be taking it to the asc in a couple of days...

    It will seem daft but I couldn't find the discussion on hadlamps (Page 270)?
    Seems like your rear wheel alignment is not proper. Take it to service centre and get it checked ASAP. Also tell them that the lock nut had not been tightened properly and therefore your wheel has become misaligned. If I were in your place I would have refused to pay money the second time round for doing a repeat job which should have been done properly the first time round. But thas just me!

    And to be honest I didnt find the discussion on page 270 either :P If I remember correctly it was someone (me?) talking about Osram Silverstar

    Ninja Edit: Ok went and dug out my post from the past! It was on page 267 -> http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...ml#post1014882

    Plain wrong! One must lube the green areas.
