    You have Shell VSX - technosynthe and Motul 510 - semi synthetic 2T. They costs 325/- and 425/- respectively last known.

      Tried to fix the 2T oil pump and found it is leaking.
      Couldn't find time to check the source of leak and removed it.

        2t pump have two small oil seals, most of the time these two oil seals are the reason behind leaking of the pump.

          Is there a repair kit available or should I replace the entire pump?

            Na the pump is repairable, the only thing is these two oil seals one is small and one is slight big, just change them and your 2t pump will be like new again, but changing them is the key as you have to dismantle whole of the pump and then reassembling the pump.

                  IMO this all black theme is not gelling with the bike, neither these pulsar shocks, they might be comfortable but on the looks part not looking good, to me headlight is looking too big plus the tank cover is making gas tank boring in appearance.Pls dont' get offended as it's purely my feeling.

                    Hope you are aware I have other RX restored to complete stock condition and this bike is purposefully restored without reflecting the stock looks.
                    This bike is a head turner at every signals than the other Stock one (that's were the contrast paint theme works)

                    Stock HL looks too small with Shogun handle bar and the one I have is with HM Ambassador reflector with better light throw.

                    To be frank, I don't mind about the looks of this bike (especially how it looks for other's eyes), all that I need is practicality and my purpose is 100% addressed with what I have.
