Don't know if it'll suit bullet. I get my cp1r from a shop in Mahim(W) near paradise theatre. Forgot the name of the shop but it has all this big castrol sign board. Located just besides the main road.

Unhappy

Guys, even I'm too confused for which oil to opt for... for my p220. Done 1st service a fortnite ago & current odo reading is 1300kms.

Plz advice if to go for Motul Semi-synthetic or Power-1 or any other at this stage of my odo.

dude u are not supposed to change to semi/Full Synthetic oils so soon as pistion rings need 2 set properly (thats what all say) so u can use after riding around 5000kms. till then use mineral oils (castrol power one 20w50 or what other company u want with a w50 grade). After running for 5000kms use Motul 15w50 Full synthetic, its pretty good and drain interval is 7k for normal riding (ie if u dnt tend to ride with rpm needle in red )

No idea dude, friend used agip for his unicorn and said its very smooth but unicorn is meant for its smoothness so cant say :/ but its a reputed company so must be fine too.
present competitors in w40 grade are (prices are as of in Mysore)
motul 5w40 (670rs-known for its oil level dropping prob so i wouldnt suggest this one)
agip 5w40 (620rs-herd its good)
Shell ultra 10w40 (700rs- its ok is what ppl say)
Castrol power one Racing (750 to 850- All say its extremely good! )
pertonas sprinta 5000 (10w40-some heating issues so i WOULD NOT suggest for 150cc+ bikes including R15)

dude i am already using the agip & am satisfied with its performance. But i had never used the castrol full synthetic. Thats why i wanted to know the comparision.
If the performance of the castrol is better than that of agip then i might change my oil to castrol.

My bike is yamaha gladiator & i have run nearly 2500kms with the oil. Right now there is no drop in the level yet. The oil is working like charm in the bike. Very smooth engine & good response. Initially there was a kind of kad kad sound when i had used the oil for the first time. But later on it got solved.
