Can someone please explain if the tail pipe is all okay? Yesterday night while driving I noticed smoke on high rpm from the mirror not exactly sure if it was smoke as or air. The tail pipe is brown like new cars. Can someone please confirm if the tail pipe is all okay and their is no carbon

[capsat]

there is no way this tail pipe exhaust can be visible from door mirror while driving.

BTW there is no problem visible from pictures no soot in it. appears healthy brown.

[jatt.zaildar]

actually by look/photo it feel totally fine. Only during balancing the wheel was going a few mm up and down .

[pwuser15609321293]

I am not talking about exhaust visibility from mirror. Yesterday night during driving on high rpm for once I doubt that smoke is emitting from exhaust pipe I observe it from the inner rear view mirror. I was not sure if it was air on the road that was blowing or smoke emitting from exhaust. That is why I took the picture of tail pipe to be sure that there is no carbon in tail pipe. I even checked with my finger all was okay.

up & down as a bump in circular motion? do you feel bumpy ride while on road ??

[jatt.zaildar]

well it took 50 gram to balance, but doesnt feel any bumps on road.. And on the machine the rim was moving up n down (whereas the other tires were not moving a bit).
G up and down like something is slightly off-centre...

[capsat]

as long as there is no physical damage and the vehicle is not bumpy to ride no need to worry

[jatt.zaildar]

thats reassuring.. shukria..

AC water isnt distilled water it result of condensation of moisture present in atmostphere

Is it okay to use with existing coolant???

[tausaif.lakhani]

but the manual says 10w 40

[dayrider]

It recommends 0w20. If they have changed it for newer ones, can't say, but uptil February 2022, it said 0w20, which is the correct oil for the vehicle

[ifadey]

but the manual says 10w 40

That manual is printed by Pak Suzuki, and it has typos in the maintenance schedule as well
Suzuki Japan recommends 0W-20 for R06A engine and 5W-30 for the same engine with turbocharger.
Turbo engines produce lot more heat than the NA. Even for the turbo they are recommending 5W-30.
I don't know how Pak Suzuki came with this magic grade.

I suggest try using 0W-20. You will thank us later.

@Xulfiqar sir honda ecu provides positive 0-5v pwm to alternator FR pin or negative 0-5v pwm?

[Xulfiqar]

reminds me of the very first user manuals that toyota gave for the 1.6 GLi 101 series corollas - they were for a LHD car and was aimed for some very frigid area.
