Hello everyone
,
I am Harish from Madurai. I am 18 yrs old. I ride a KB100RTZ
. I am currently using Servo2T. Smoke level is low and perfomance is also good. I get mileage 40+ when ridden softly. I don't have any problem with Servo but can you all suggest me something even better. I know Motul is the best one but it is way too costly. Pls suggest me something that is reasonable. By the way I have heard some 2T oils are not suitable for the KBs. Is it true??

The last 2T oil I used way back in 2002, then I sold my Shogun, was Silkolene by Fuchs, it was very good, I tried finding it now & most of the dealers don't even know about it.
CHEERS,

Time for another update.
Motul 510 still unavailable, so filled Yamalube. It is way better than Shell Advance Bike feels lot more smoother
Yamalube Vs. Shell Advance? Yamalube wins

I switched to Shell Advance VSX2 and ran the bike for over 500kms, including Bengaluru-Mysore-Bengaluru 327kms round trip.
I found no difference in comparison to Yamalube.
Will I buy it again?-No.
Next turn will be of Motul's.Leave a comment:

While I can't recall the colour offhand, just make sure it is Power 1 Jet X and not just Jet X. The former is significantly better.Originally posted by Nikhil Pereira View Post
And let me caution you - lube oils generally are said to have a life of 4 years if stored right. Thats the max. Personally, I'd not use stuff more than 2 years old, to be on the safer side. You may be risking your bike's engine by using oil that old.
Why not try Petronas 4000 or 5000 or Motul 510? You should be be able to get a newer stock and they are much better too. New stock of Jet X seems to be unavailable here... seems Castrol has discontinued it.Leave a comment:

Get the whole carton! JettX is dark blue+green. SuperTT was green.Leave a comment:

Saw a cartoon of JETX at a castrol stockist here today, its the feb 06 stock, so the price per 500ml is 105 only, the colour of the oil to my surprise was blue wen i opened it and poured it in my bike. Guys now i know that JetX came in green but did it also come in blue? the now stock if am not mistaken jetX is like fuelish colour, (maybe wrong)
Now i have 2 questions
1)Is blue a normal colour for JETX, or has something gone wrong with the oil
2) Is JetX worth it, to stock a cartoon at home, or are there anything else with that same price range offering better charecterestics?Leave a comment:

Ok guys, i have put a lot of stress on my brain not since my graduation exams which was a long time ago.
2Toil pump is controlled by your throttle how many of you agree?
Now once again this was a semi pratical done by me on my samurai, i think i will explain this with some pics.
Just a thaught for your brain.
for 1Lts of petrol if you put 40-50ml of oli in the fuel tank and if you rip your vehcile what will happen?
and if you put 1Lts of petrol in the tank and let the oil pump work its magic what will happen?
For my samurai 1Lts of 2T oil should run for 1400kms i guess as per company specifications.
So i usually get around 1000 - 1200 kms and after ripping i used to get 800 to 900.
Thanks to this topic i was able to understand a lot.Leave a comment:

Testimony to a suzuki's engenuity, often in India we have been really praiseworthy of Yamaha and they deserve it, they are really great, but suzuki are like the Dravid of the indian motorcycle scene, does its job in absolute harmony.Leave a comment:

^^^ Thats how a bike should be - not requiring any engine work for at least 100,000 km. And for a 2 stroker, this is even more creditible...

Now that i remember, i got the bike decarbed back in 2006 and the muffler cleaned i believe, and even chain sprocket changed twice if my memory serves me right....hehhehe
Performance i never really cared, for every 4000 or 5000 KMS i get the bike serviced Oil change etc..i never ever had any major problems with this bike, just start the bike and zoom off.....
aree haa once i had a problem, bike just wouldnt start even after cleaning the carb and sparkplug fuel was there everything was checked still the bike wouldnt start.At that time my main mechaninc was not there, a kid who used work for him said 'i remember my boss once changed the rubber oil seal in the engine.He opened the left engine cover and removed the magneto removed the busted seal and placed new one thats it.Last edited by sat_06; 11-17-2009, 02:01 PM.Leave a comment:
