CG 125 Durability

[hassantahir2]

@hassantahir2 besides I will also advise you not to go for an old lousy used up Ravi Piaggio engine, I am using a brand new engine and that is the only reason its is giving me so much fun... I remember when we placed a used but repaired engine in a Hero 125 and it was total failure.

Ok sir thank'u v.much.. For guidance.

Api sl is not good for ancient cg engine it needs api sg/sh etc older grade oil

Explain opening half the head ?? Was the head sliced into two ?? i am sure there must be a cut somewhere ??
How can you say nobody can tell ??

Jokes apart the procedure you described is employed by everyone who gets headwork done the head and the cylinder are removed and the way the jain is installed back is a giveaway that headwork has been done.... if u dont want bore the other safe option is to go for new cylinder worth Rs1800....So your mechanic(may Allah increase his ranks in Jannat) didnt do anything special.

Btw u just mentioned his demise first and than this "i and my good mechanic keep my bike very very well maintained"
seems like present tense to me........so which one is it....

Problem is being lucky enough finding a good, well experienced and HONEST mechanic. In lahore, my Cg used to give 15-23 km/Liter Average. I was tired of these low calibre people. And i have changed as much mechanics in lahore after finding out they were incapable of doing basic stuff.
My mechanic is in my hometown,near Multan. I asked him about new 1800 cylinder. He said. No need unless u really wanna spend money. I said ok. And he fixed the problem. What more do i need.

Yea he and me maintain my bike very well, how so?

Even if there is one little sound in my bike, i take it to him and he fixes it without cost. No matter how many times a day i go.

Great! Have you fitted them without any alterations.. As i heard that chain cover needs to be altered for fitting some other rear shocks in CG...

My front shocks are upto mark close to that of YBR.. I rebuilt them from a good mechanic using some other bikes springs inside and filled them with ATF now there damping is superb.... The rear ones are pathetic even on main roads i can feel the smallest bump......

Api sl is not good for ancient cg engine it needs api sg/sh etc older grade oil

Explain please! Just saying not good for ancient doesn't convince. And i feel the difference.

I feel my sound remains good even after 1 hour full throttle distance covering 85 km.

Engine does not produce much heat.

Oil change interval is 1500 km + as stated on the bottle. But still good colour and lubrication condition.

Bike runs and crosses 120 km easily by reducing wind resistance.

Only first time liqui moly got black after 1000 km because too much sludge due to previous bad oils. Now its clean and good.

So please tell me again. Why SL is not good.

Since synthetic oil is good and top tier oil in every vehicle category and oil category.

If you change oil according to color or lubrication property than I feel sorry for that engine I wonder if color is deciding for oil change what will you do if you own a diesel engine :o oil becomes black as soon as engine complete a single revolution

Now the thing is a engine oil should be changed as soon as it finishes its zddp warna lubrication tou recleaned oil se bhi hoti hai (getting the point :))

The problem with cg engine is that its 80's era engine depends upon stiff valve spring to rev high no roller over rocker increases friction and wear tear so your engine oil needs high amount of zddp

No i don't change it based on oil color But mileage. Thanks.

So which company's oil has the highest zddp at which api rating. At 10w-40 or 20w-50?? Thanks for clarifying.

JazakAllah
