KTM switch from Motul to ProLube.

KTM switch from Motul to ProLube.

I just gave my Duke 390 Gen 3 2025 for 2nd Free Service. When I checked the estimate it showed ProLube 10W50 instead of Motul. When I called the SA he told me that he has Motul for now and will be using that but from next service you’ll have to use Prolube. It is made mandatory by BAJAJ or else it’ll void warranty. I took extended warranty due to high compression engines being unreliable in long run. And…you cannot bring your own oil or use Motul instead even if it is from service centre. First the Ethanol and now BAJAJ ruining our brand new bikes. I have watched the comparison between the two and YouTubers claim it’s inferior to Motul and the high temp performance isn’t good. Can’t even choose engine oil of our choice…do we even own them? I’m thinking of draining that oil and replacing it with Motul. Is the color same? If not then can they spot I’ve replaced it with Motul? As far as warranty is concerned, it’s valid on paper that I’ve used Prolube so they can’t void it. 1k extra per oil change isn’t a big deal for me, I just don’t want my bike to overheat as I use it in traffic. I’m based in Pune and SA said at all service centres it is mandatory. Kindly share your experience. Thanks:)

WORST Instant noodles ever!

I’ve eaten quite a few Indomie but the INDOMIE RASA AYAM SPESIAL is worst. How can someone make this flavour, it literally tastes like a smelly open sewer…the one that stinks when you pass by. The seasoning made of chicken broth and some spices. The seasoning has too much salt. The moment you taste it, it’s like eating plain salt and then the pungent sewer water taste fills your mouth. I had to brush to make the taste go away. And it was a fresh batch of Feb 2026. If there will be an apocalypse and I find this only food available, I’ll starve to de*th than eating this! I don’t know man but people have some funky taste out here creating sewer water tasting noodles🤢

Got Apple Care + (Watch and AirPods)

Got Apple Care + for Apple Watch Series 10 - ₹399 monthly and AirPods Pro 3 - ₹249 monthly. Opt for monthly subscription as you can stop it midway. I’m not a fan of AC+ , as you can see I didn’t for iPhone and iPad but the constant anxiety of breaking all these was giving me headache. iPad and iPhone has some good and cheap repair options from third party but not AirPods and Apple Watch. I was a repair enthusiast and you know it’s serious when iFixit rates repairability 0/10 for AirPods Pro 3 and 3/10 for Apple Watch Series 10. Even the Chinese gave up repairing these abominations. Apple don’t consider these repairable and swaps them out for new one. Even if you don’t break it, the battery will degrade in 2 years as Apple Watch needs charging twice a day if you track workout and AirPods once a day. There’s a service fee(pic attached) you’ve to pay once per claim. For AirPods Pro 3 : 249 x 24 = 5,973 + 2500 = 8476. For Apple Watch 10 : 399 x 24 = 9,576 + 6900 = 16476. This is the max amount if you claim it sooner the prices go down. It’s equal to one time claim for any of them but with AC+ you can claim it multiple times. I dropped one AirPod and it had a scratch just from an ear height while I tossed other brand buds and there’s barely a scratch after years of use. The pettiness to make it doesn’t last long!
