First servicing is coming up. What r the things that I should take care of?

Not much! The first service will only cover oil and oil filter change, and minor niggles with the bike, such as loose bolts etc. Plus, they will just give your bike a wash and that's it. If you have faced any minor niggles with the bike, make sure you bring it to their notice before the service and make sure it's written down on the jobsheet.Originally posted by rockugal View PostBiking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo.

1.Make sure they change engine oil...have heard stories that some service centres just top it upOriginally posted by rockugal View Post
2. You can stay away from engine flushing/ chain treatment if being offered to you. Its just waste IMO.Comment

So need nothing to do with the chain, like lubricating the chain?Comment

after how many kms should the chain be lubed?Comment

For closed chains, you may lube them once every month, or whenever you take the bike for a proper wash. No harm in a bit of lube, except for the drips!Originally posted by rockugal View Post
For open chains, it's an entirely different story, though!Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!Comment

Here in Bajaj servicing center they don't have their own engine oil. They told me to bring Castrol Activ 4T. Is it good enough?Last edited by rockugal; 04-13-2013, 01:22 PM.Comment

What is the grade of oil used in your bike? If it is 20W40, then Gulf Pride 4T Plus 20W40 or Shell Advance AX5/AX7 are much better choices compared to Castrol.Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!Comment

Its writtent "SAE 20W40 API 'SL' min" in the manual.Comment

That's 20W40 grade. Go for Gulf Pride Plus or Shell Advance. Make sure the grade is 20W40. Using a different grade of oil may damage your engine.Originally posted by rockugal View PostBiking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo.

Mineral or synthetic? Which one is better for a 100cc 4 stroke bike? I think these r all mineral engine oils.Comment

Re: Need suggestions on 100 cc commuter bike
Go for mineral oil only, its cheaper and better for engine run in . Once bike has done say more than 4000-5000 KMs , then you can put synthetic oils.Originally posted by rockugal View PostComment
