Its because whenever I'm descending from flyover's i try to keep the rev's down let the bike move because of the slope and not the force of the engine and so i keep the clutch pressed.

Motul 3000t is around Rs.300/- i guess , not very sure. You can also try ELF moto 4 gold , which costs around 220/- .Drain interval of 2500-3000kms. I have been using it on my P150 from past 4-5k kms, no issues what so ever.-

Pressing the clutch while coming down a slope will serve no purpose.It just disengages the clutch( or rather frees the plates). Clutch plates are meant to be in constant friction.

.

I brought the motul 3000t 20W40 recently for 200 bucks. The printed mrp is around 215 but the shopkeepers usually give it for 200.

But i would also suggest gulf pride 4T 20W40 as an alternative. The mechs told that its even better than motul & my bike became pretty smooth with it now. It retails for 240 bucks.

Motul= 200 sorry my bad , had used Motul only once, was not satisfactory on P150. Are you sure Gulf pride 4t , is 240 bucks,you get it at 170+/- 10/- in Metro

. If i am not wrong you are speaking about the 10000kms drain interval right????

Those guys claim the 10K kms drain interval. But i wont suggest anything above 3K kms. This is just a marketing gimmick. Anyways IMO the best suited oil for the pulsar breed is valvoline. But still the gulf does the job very well.

10 k on a mineral oil is next to impossible.If you find Valvoline anywhere Rajajinagar , kindly let me know buddy.

I replied to this in another thread that you opened. Reg the oil , yes the ELF is good and Valvoline is best.. The 2nd time i got ELF for just 145 rupees with special offer provided by ELF itself. The drain period of mineral oil is 1700-2000 km. I dont remember the exact price but all the mineral oils cost less than 220 rs. Valvoline makes the engine run smoother than ELF. What ever the oil you get, make sure you get in w40 grade otherwise the engine wont be rev free

I haven't used motul or gulf as i could not source them here. So no comments about them. I use motomax to bring back the shine !

this is not good...your clutch plate will go earlier...
Use clutch only for gear changes

**easy rider** · 08-24-2011, 09:39 PM

I've made it a habit to stop pressing the clutch while coming down slopes now

. Also i was wondering whether shifting down through all the gears at once is ok or should i press and release the clutch with every downshift??.

**easy rider** · 08-24-2011, 09:40 PM

Motomax? Is it a wax? Could you tell me how much does it costs?

**sand_sat** · 09-10-2011, 08:35 PM

Tyre Pressure help on a long ride

Hi Guys,
