I’m using GS Caltex (fully synthetic) engine oil on my motorcycle & even after completing 4,000 km, it seems to be holding on pretty well.
BHPian rb2399 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.
The ADV completed the 50,000 km mark during one of my recent rides. The ownership experience so far has been trouble-free and hopefully, it’ll stay that way.
Contrary to popular belief, KTMs are as reliable as any other brand if you take care of them.
Here are some snaps from the most recent ride:
Near Keonjhar in Orissa
The odo at 50K km
P.S. – I switched over to GS Caltex (fully synthetic) engine oil and even after crossing 4,000 km, the oil seems to be holding on pretty well. The gear shifts are really smooth even at this stage which was not the case with Motul.
I think I’ll stick to this one and maybe try it on my other bikes too!
Here’s what BHPian sunilch had to say about the matter:
Maybe you have had this asked earlier but you have kept both – KTM 390 ADV and Suzuki V-Strom 650?
I am curious to understand the justification. The gap between the two in terms of power and capability isn’t a large one. Not having a larger ADV makes sense from a practicality perspective (weight, service, cost, etc) but these two together?
