Hey all,
Just picked up a 2015 from the dealer last Friday with 215 miles, never registered, and have a few question.
I need to do the first oil change, What oil would you all recommend for this service? I know the manual calls for 15 W 50 API SL, JASO MA ESTER SEMI SYNTHETIC OIL. I'll likely order some Motul 5100 4T 15W-50 and call it a day, unless there is something that will work just as well that I can pick up locally? I never intend to take this on any highway, just 35mph on the city streets of Denver going 3 miles each way to work throughout the week, would a 10w40 for the winter be too light? Was the 15w50 recommended because it is an Indian bike designed to run in tropical climates?
Where can I get oil filters besides the dealership for a premium or ebay/Amazon from India and have to wait a long time? I would not care to order from the dealer and pay their premium if they had them stocked, but was informed he has to order them and told me it may be 2 weeks, so would not doubt they are getting them from India themselves. I would also like to know if anyone knows the sizes for the drainplugs, crushwashers, and gaskets/o rings or if there is a kit with these parts stateside as it appears the only amazon filter does not include the o rings and I want to ensure they are replaced.
I really, REALLY, dislike the look of the huge exhaust with a honking catalytic converter. Yes, I know removing it is bad for the environment, but looking to install a smaller muffler. Suggestions on replacements would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!!!!
