Never REDLINE during breakin!!
In fact if u understand the break in speed limits, u are not supposed to go over a certain engine rpm in that gear, so the question of redlining doesnt even arise!!
Break-in speed limits in every gear or in top gear are there coz most riders in India are laymen who wont know knwo to read the rpm meter and adhere to rpms while keeping in mind what gear they are in!!
oo risky while commuting!!
so speed limits are simpler to follow!!
For the Mad Max- after 5000kms!!
That too if u r still in the powerband and are gunning for some trophy
!!
Else too much REDLINing will leave you RED-Faced at th finish line!!
Petroleum oil- mineral oil- usual cheap engine oils!!
Synthetic oils are available as-
Full synthetic- Mobil1, Castrol Syntron, Shell Advance Ultra,...
Semisynthetic- Castrol GTX extra, Elf Moto4 Gold, ...
Regular- maybe IBP red, Laal ghoda, whatever, dunno...
I would stick to manufacturer recommended oils and periods for oil change for regular user!!
Same oil but more frequent oil change( maybe at half the kms recommended) for power user!!
Coz full synthetic oils are quite expensive and no one is sure of their change intervals for our indian bikes- the limits are mentioned for 4 wheelers or SBKs abroad!!
Also certain additives might cause clutch slippage severely hampering rideability and life and limb too!!
So use oil from reputed brand of recommended oil and rating!!
Change more often!!
