      Sriram,

      Where you are getting Motul in Chennai. Rajesh & Srikanth from Ramapuram are lyers. I have asked person from the Motul go-down and he is telling its avail stock. But these guys making more demands by lying I guess.

      Thanks,
      Jay

          There's an authorized Motul distributor in Gopalapuram. When you get down from Annasalai bridge towards Peter's road (or 1000 lights mosque) take that left (I know its banned, but go straight now & take a U turn followed by a free left), do not take the over bridge & hit the Satyam theatre junction. At the junction, take a right & keep going straight, say about for a Km or so & on to your left you'll see the Motul distributor. The road may not be perfect line straight, but you still keep it & don't worry about any right or left.

            The distributor at Gopalapuram is called Goodwill Agencies. Let me know if you need any help.

              ^^^Right, thanks for bringing back my memory. Here're the details
              171, Lloyds Road
              Gopalapuram, Chennai
              28113306

              But I wonder, Motul for everyday use, man I would go bankrupt.

                  Thanks to Sriram & aargee. Got two bottles of 300v from UV lubricants Ramapuram. I got it for Rs. 775 per litre. Surprisingly my Castrol Oil turned so softly after 3K kms for my lengend, Every 500 kms I checked the oil and looks good no drain and no change in color as well.

                  May be after 1000 Kms I will be going to put this.

                    Why have you bought 2L of oil? The bike can only take 650ml.

                    If your bike is tuned well and the oil pump is calibrated well, there is no harm in touching top speed. I do it all the time. Just make sure you don't ride at the speed continuously. Keep rolling of the throttle every now and then.

                    If you're changing tyres, go for the Michelins. They are the best.

                      Good to know that you were able to get what you have been looking for.

                      As far your bike is concerned, it is very well maintained and shining.

                      Well, regarding the beat, would suggest that we visit junk yard to try and got the old RX100 core/muffler.

                        Guess it is time to change my rear tyres. I have seen one RX in my office has Michelins on his rear wheel.

                        I need to know few things over here:

                        1. Cost and any model number of the tyre for my RX135 18" rim.
                        2. Are they good on rainy season

                        Sorry for the interruption Jayakannan.

                          I can use it for thrice 3*650 =1950. Every time I used to fill the Yamalube 2T @ YASS. I asked the mech to tune the oil pump and had tuned already.Micheline is my next choice.

                          Thanks Sriram... Nowdays I am getting the sweet RX100 beat but not that Strong one. Still I am happy with that. Sure I will try to get the old one.

                            My friend was using Michelin, He says the tyre is awesome when it comes to grip and handling but was cribbing about frequent punctures. He says that the M45 which he was using just sucks nails...

                            Can someone throw some light in this...

                            PERSEVERE... failure is not an option!

                              Sucks nails? that's

                              Then that might not be of my choice... I hate sitting in the puncture shop frequently

                                Unfortunately That's what he experienced man. But about the handling and road grip I can assure you its better than most tyres. I did ride his bike a few times and i found it to be much better than my Zapper C
