I have used CP1R for 7500kms on my Unicorn and my mech was telling still the oil is good i can use for another 1k. I checked with other mech, they too said same. But I was scared and most of the times i ride on Highways at high speeds. So didn't wanna risk and was running short of cash so put Fully Synthetic "Petronas Sprinta 5000" this time (donno how good it is)... Will be changing back to CP1R after 2 or 3k kms.

Well with my experience with CP1R, from day 1 till 7500kms i used it. I must say it was a gem. Engine was smoothly revving, most of the times i did around 150kms non stop at high speeds without single break still it was amazing.

but now confused again if it is a good oil
bad reviews says , hard gear shifts ,sluggish revs after mere 1000 kms.(in universal engine oil thread)
And all reviews above reviews are favourable to cp1r4t.
ne unicorn rider ,done 5000+ kms on this oil without any issues with gears and smoothness etc.
I found everything smooth till 7400+ kms. Found gears little hard after that so changed the oil. Well 7000kms is too much
If u are looking for Motul then even by mistake don't put in 15w50 into Unicorn.
