We set on the road at around 8 pm & rode towards MG road.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Return route was thro' Residency Road, where we were surprised to see Khivraj Motors Workshop open.

All though the tech specs were missing at that point of time, it instantly caught my attention & Imagination. The sheer size of the Petrol tank.... created the Wow effect. In brief, this Motorcycle sounded a departure from the decades long Boring 100 cc designs which we were used to.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Pushu (Pushp) invited to take a closer look at Red bike & Handed over its keys asking me to 'Test ride'. This Motorcycle boasted a Self starter, which created an instant WOW in me. The only input that was given to us was "The bike has very little Petrol".</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">We set out of Residency Road towards Richmond road, only to be awestruck by it ability to accelerate & availability of Raw Power to be tapped.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">The 2 Km ride put us on the list of people who were drooling for this bike. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Upon Return Pushu informed us that the bike was being handed over to users of Competitor bikes for market research & he had about 15 of them in various colors & variants in all to be given.

This goes to tell us subtle that the Clearance (Cold) of moving parts like bearings, Cyl blk & piston etc can be kept low. These low clearance parts can be lubricated well even in cold condition. This number helps in cold by lubricating it better & we’d have less noisy start. This also means that the wear & tear of the internal parts of the Engine are very much reduced.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As the oil temp increases, its properties gradually change. Though the oil looks & feels thinner, the reversible change in property tends to make the oil behave like a thicker grade which is equivalent to the higher grade (number) noted at the end of the grading oil. At optimum temp of the oil, it would have the properties of 50 grade oil (Thicker). This takes care of lubrication at higher temperatures. It is now clear about the first two digits along with the alphabet "W" stands for the winter grade Or when the oil temp is cold & the next stands for the summer grade or when the oil temp is hot. </span><br /><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">B: API SG</span></em></strong><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong><em>B1 </em></strong>: Further classification of the type of service types an oil can perform is done by API (American Petroleum Institute)<br /><br /><strong><em>B2 & B3</em></strong>: In the alphabets ‘SC, SD,’ etc… The 'S' stands for 'spark' ignition engines, which are petrol engines. SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ etc, indicate progressively better grade oils. Now we do have even 'SJ' classification oils available in the country.<br /><br />The 'C' classifications of the API are for 'compression' ignition engines, i.e. Diesel engines. These are available as 'CC - CG' grades, and get progressively better and obviously - expensive as we go up the scale.<br /><br />There are quite a few oils which can be used on both Petrol as well as Diesel engines, though they may not be equally good for both the engines. Few may be marked as 'API-SG/CD'. So that indicates that though the oil is really good for Petrol, but will work only equivalent to a 'CD' rated oil if put in a Diesel engine, which is ok to use in older technology Diesel engines. Some marked as 'API - CF/SD' rating more so meant for Turbocharged Diesel engines & will work only as good as an 'SD' rated oil in a petrol engine. Today Bajaj Engines demand nothing less than 'SG' rating or higher in the API classification.<br /><br />Just the 'SH' or ‘SG’ or ‘SJ’ would only help reduce friction in the engine, but on contrary on a motorcycle with common clutch & gear box, the clutch plates are in for a higher degree of wear.<br /><br />This goes to say that a particular Service type of Oil will provide protection against wear, corrosion & deposits resulting from short trip, start & stop run & other things & also work towards reduction of abnormal deposits & sludge formation which may be hastened during high temp high speed runs. But not necessarily increase the wear resistance in the clutch<br /><br />Typical car engine oil is classified up until the API classification.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong><em>C: JASO MA 2<br /></em></strong><br /><strong><em>C1</em></strong>: Ever Since the Car engine oils started to tend towards lower resistance to friction, the same started to increase the wear on clutch plates & also cause pitting of gears in motorcycles which shared common oil between Engine, Clutch & gear box.<br /><br /><strong><em>JASO</em></strong>: Japanese Automotive Standards Organisation (A wing of Japanese - Society of Automotive Engineers [J-SAE]) Along with JAMA (Japanese Automotive Manufacturer’s Association) went on to define a test standard for Oils which could be used on motorcycles using common oil every where. This test ensures protection to clutch & gear box along with that of the engine<br /><br /><strong><em>C2</em></strong>: The Alphabet ‘M’ stands for Motorcycle type application<br /><br /><strong><em>C3 & C4</em></strong>: In the classification MA, the Alphabet ‘A’ stands for Frictional application type, which means it is suitable for use on motorcycles which share common oil between Engine, Gear box & Clutch. As the DFI (Dynamic Frictional Index), SFI (Static Frictional Index) & STI (Stop Time Index) get better, the Type application index number Raises from MA to MA1 & still higher to MA2.<br /><br />If it is classified as MB, ‘B’ in this case is Non Frictional application, suitable for Engine which has a separate clutch & gear box.<br /><br />Since the Manufacturers know their bike best, the right Grade & type classification of the oil best suited for their bike, would be suggested after a series of tests & study of wear patterns. This will enhance the life & performance of the engine. It is suggested to look for the service type along with grade, before we buy oils. Ensure the Manufacturers requirement before the purchase. This is the safest way to ensure long life & great performance of your machine. I hope this makes things clear as far as the Grade & Service type of oils are concerned.<br /><br />Compiled from the following Sources:<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">1. </span><a href="http://bajajpulsar.org/archive/bajajpulsar_msgs_2000_to_3000.mbx/0209.html"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">http://bajajpulsar.org/archive/bajajpulsar_msgs_2000_to_3000.mbx/0209.html</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />2. </span><a href="http://bajajpulsar.org/archive/bajajpulsar_msgs_2000_to_3000.mbx/0223.html"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">http://bajajpulsar.org/archive/bajajpulsar_msgs_2000_to_3000.mbx/0223.html</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />3.

(Mileage (Fuel economy):</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> People have to realize that mileage Also </span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">depends on their riding habits also.)<br /><br />Automobiles are just not just a bunch which is got just by few fitting things mechanically. It is also about using Engineering for a good the reason. Its also about the techniques used to achieve the same. </span><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Eg: using screw gauges vernier calipers etc to fit things or find out wear etc. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">These techniques are well used at Auto Service. I go to them & pose questions about repairing & take their feedback for my Non Bajaj products too(which I currently own & Repair myself).<br /><br />Who needs technology coming from foreign lands like USA, France, UK etc. There are people in India too, and they need to be encouraged. Auto Service stands very much in the category & they Deserve to be encouraged. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The finest point is, they also encourage others to realise their potential as it is in my Personal case.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I would say they are a cluster of Some of the Honest Indians who are doing Our country proud. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Finally, there are Many Service centres & There is Auto Service - <em>"A culture which is very Apart"</em><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Regards,<br />Arvind Belavadi</span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">arvind_belvadiATyahooD.tcom<br /><br /></span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:100%;">"A</span></em></strong>uto Service - A small service station run with an outlook better than those of large Corporations". - Sameer Shisodia</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><strong><em>Great Pluses:</em></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXJBSADNwMbs9Oga3TOyDM4mM8MdIjTJJXrs5q7DeRgO9cKBzz9kFTc48hDH4OZnWWkaDjDi6uupyXuO98XYmg8YMxwr9JDcjcR1Z7AzA3P2MsL6pAf96rXMTmnJRkkaXhRMGyz75FOy4/s1600-h/khardungLaTop3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070665434464219506" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXJBSADNwMbs9Oga3TOyDM4mM8MdIjTJJXrs5q7DeRgO9cKBzz9kFTc48hDH4OZnWWkaDjDi6uupyXuO98XYmg8YMxwr9JDcjcR1Z7AzA3P2MsL6pAf96rXMTmnJRkkaXhRMGyz75FOy4/s320/khardungLaTop3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">* Transparency, straightforward dealings. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">* Knowledgeable - from Venkat to every employee</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">* Willingness to learn and improve is apparent</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">* Willingness to accept feedback and correct mistakes</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">* Every guy there is a CRM expert, not just Venkat.
