Hi guys I'm a lil confuse abt certain 'additive'. I was at home fix shop when i notice they are selling STP brand of oil for bike. Oils dat claim to clean certain parts of the engines resulting in saving of fuel, cleaner engines, clean injector etc. Can you guys explain to me how it works does it works like pre mix?

 

What is the use of these oils...

1. Octane Booster

2. Fuel Injector treatment

3. Complete fuel system treatment

4. Petrol Treatment

 

Does these oils inprove the power, fuel consumption, life span of the bike engine etc. any recommended brands? How to use it as in do I have to add them every single time I fill up petrol? If i stop using them will it cause harm to my bike like piston jam?

Welcome to the family.

 

IMHO, don't bother much with the additives, there has been much debate over the use of such things. Simple theory, if these additives are really so gd and proven so, why would these huge engine oil manufacturing companies not use them in their eo in the 1st place? After all, they would be able to boast of the engine cleaning, fuel saving properties etc. With the amount of capital they have for R&D, y not produce their own additives?

 

STP or some other brand(can't rem which) had been sued in the US for misrepresentation of their products and their products were unable to prove the advertised results. What does that mean? Go figure it out yourself.

 

The best way to maintain your engine is to change oil frequently and religiously. Do the regular maintainence on your bike and don't overuse the engine oil. That will already keep your engine in good condition.

Short of doing a full overhaul, playing with your sprocket ratio is the most cost effective way of increasing your pickup. Due to the age of the bike, there isn't much aftermarket parts available. You will be surprised how a change of piston rings, valve clearance, cam chain tightening etc can do wonders for your bike.

 

Other wise, you can consider a change to K&N air filter, rejetting your carbs or even a big-bore kit. But be warned that it will accelerate engine wear by a large extent.

 

Else an aftermarket exhaust which is unfortunately illegal will give 1-2 hp increase.

 

I've not heard of an aftermarket carb being available for this bike. So i can't comment much about that.

 

Last but not least, my nick is Arcfire. Not TeePee

Hmm how much do you think will the overhall cost? around $1 200 below or above

depending what kind of overhale u gonna do

let's talk abt real engine revamp!

top + engine block(4 New pistons and rings + oil + crankshaft + all gaskets + timing chain/belt, worksmanship) will set u at least to estimated less than 2k

[Arcfire]

And technically, overhauls don't give you a gain in hp. It only allows you to recover the lost hp on the bike due to wear and tear and age of the bike.

ORlando-..Seriously bro go to a trusted mechanic......coz...sometimes it just needs top porting or just piston ring change....in which will save u alot of $$$.....coz...some shops they dnt bother to check the parts thoroughly...they just change and change....Whereas there are shops which say change tis and tat but the faulty parts not shown...So word of advice when it comes to overhaul....

 

1)Find trusted wrkshop

2)Change only wats necessary

3)make him show u the faulty parts

4)haf a breakdown of the COST of all the parts changed

[Rio Kakashi]

Bro, what kind of paintwork are you doing? Care to share the price you paid?

[Rio Kakashi]

me I'm planning to do this paintwork. the price for the paintwork itself i'm not sure. Mine around $1500 including moding the body kit. My fren did his body kit and spray paint his RVF bike around that price. For the paintwork c it for yourself an comment if its nice..
