1) Synthetic engine oil...
you get Mobil1 5w50 and Motul 15w50 fully synthetic easily in India.
In our weather it doesn't matter whether you use 5w50 or 15w50. Both are 50 weight oil. Its only when its really cold that it makes a difference
** Mobil1 will be available in large oil shops, or ask at large car dealerships where they source theirs.
** email motul@alsl.net and ask them where Motul products are available in Delhi.
3) K&N air filter cleaner and oil is available at most car accessory shops. Just go where they have fancy alloys displayed and ask for it.
4) Ditto brake fluid. My mechanic told me the Merc and Toyota brake fluids are the best.
Generally in India, you need to buy the stuff you get for expensive cars, and use it on the bike. Works very well for me.
Everything from coolant to brake oil, I pick it up at the toyota dealership, or spareparts store. Even the honda city oil filter can be used on some bikes!!
About the Fork oil, pls ask a mechanic. I'm not sure on the weights that are available here.
Pls try all avenues before importing consumables. You would be surprised at the things you get off the shelf in India(with a little searching)
