        Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

          Which one should I go for? Motul?
          Motul 5100 15w50 semi synthetic is perfect for P220 from my experience. Ive used 5100 and its really smooth. I actually found it difficult to guage when to change it. Ended up riding 4k with it and changed it only because the number frightened me. No change in feel though. Shifting in butter smooth.
          Im currently using 3100 which is 20w50. Bought it because 5100 is out of stock. I must say it is really good for a regular mineral oil. Engine doesnt feel as smooth but the gearbox performance is similar. I can get to neutral without any trouble.
          If you are going for full synth, then 7100(20w50) is better than 300v IMO. The oil is thicker than 300v and doesnt cause that 'accidental clutch slippage'.

          Cheers..

            Thanks. I think the oil is the culprit for the engine and gear harshness. Will have to change it soon if true. Also will ride antz's bike as suggested by him so will know the difference tomorrow.

                Why dont you chang the oil to motul 15w50 SS as for 220 its the best or 300v FS instead of using that dtsi?

                @ anant - one dtsi oil half can is lying in my house, was planning to use it for my scooty pep, if you dont want.

                Safety shoe bazaar is a good option and gives good quality leather shoes.

                  yup. Spoke with Anant. Will change it to 300vFS.

                    • If someone wants to have dinner plans in woods or some other places please post the same here before today evening 6pm, or like last time we will be hunting hotels at 10.15 pm where majority hotels close down at 10.30 pm.

                        You treating?? chalo chalo.

                        EDIT - Please avoid Woods as the service is shitty and Garwa is shut. Sarovar on the other hand is good and yummy gummy butter chicken.

                        Btw can anyone get a laptop as Icemang would require it for sharing LEH pictures.

                            • hi all ...

                              Hi All Guys .. Have been following the posts here for quite a while and suddenly I realized there there has been a surge in the no of weekend trips this time around pune ... as the weather favors and few of us got new rides recently.
                              Though I am not able to get my hands on any 2 wheeler here as its more like a luxury for people to afford i here as compared to a 4 wheeler, which is actually a necessity .. :P
                              Bur have seen a quite a few around in Midtown and on the Highways ... almost noone is riding their bikes here on stock exhausts ... And a lotta GSRs n XZ10-R's.

                              To rub salt to the wound .. few tall blonds (not to mention toned up, leggy lasses ) are coming to the office on R1's n GSX-750's. Damn me ...

                              The other day, Watchin CBR,GSX-R or a ZX-10/14R while I was traveling State highway last weekend ... on freeways is the ultimate riders delight ... damn .. I dnt have a license ... YET ..!!!

                              Neway ... You guys keep njoin rides there and have lots of stories to tell fr all the season ...

                              Many congratulations to NIkhil, ICEMAG, Ninz for getting Leh'd and Biru for completing to the NAGA's n BODO's Land.

                              And not to ask but still ... hope my Baby Winger is also getting its share of small rides by Vishwas Sir in the rains ... after all ...
                              Missing to have a few rides under my belt to this season ...

                              cheerzz .. ride safe u all n wear helmets ...

                                Great to see you enjoying.

                                I have not taken your winger on any of the ride. It was hidden below its cover for last so many days. Just yesterday, took it off and will be commuting for couple of days on it.
