Think about this a second do you really think dumping what amounts to a fine lapping compound into a motor is a good idea ? It will get past the rings into the oiling system and you won't get it all out changing the oil.

No, no and hell no.....

Mumbai is in India I've been there a few times , I'd say the bike was run in too slow.
There's absolutely no way you can run a bike in correctly there.

Maybe you could call Harley tech support in India?

An old native pilot up in Bethel Alaska told me about how he'd slowly dust about a palm-full of Bon Ami into the intake of the P&W R-985 Radial engine on his De Haviland Beaver (while it was running) every spring to increase compression and reduce oil consumption. He swore by it!

I definitely WOULD NOT do something like that on an engine that was still under warranty, though, and certainly wouldn't dump it into the spark plug holes all at once, either.
