    Are their castrol p1 R fakes available in the market.If yes how to determine that i have the genuine one.Well m bike hits 9000RPM easily even now.The oil feels like new even though it has changed color slightly.All it takes to reach 123km/hr from 100km/hr is 11 seconds(i counted it) even now.so does that mean mine is not a fake

    My dad is not allowing me o touch the bike let alone take it to the SC/CBZ.he wants me to spend this weekend with the books.
    Good!! Do not touch your bike and read books like a good boy!! Stop worrying about your bike. Your bike is good.

    My friend has a P220 and he has been using motul 300v since more than one year. He rips his bike like you and his bike has also tuned for it. It revs like crazy and pulls like mad. It is powerful than all other P220's; True, I swear by it. Recently it started drinking oil wihout emitting smoke. He even opened the engine and changed the valves. When they opened the engine it is in very very good condition and they could not identify why it is drinking oil. Even after that, it is still drinking oil. But, the bike still revs like crazy. Now I started teasing his bike that it is gaining more power by drinking oil.

    His bike is just over 1 year old and the odo now is 37000+. I could manage only 35000 in two years.

      I think I know whom you are talking about! I rode his bike for about 90-100kms.&true to your word, it was like no other P220 I have ever ridden!

          You guessed it right! The bike is ravikiran's

          . I guess it is vaporizing the oil and is not taking and depositing anywhere. You know acculmulating cholesterol is bad, but utilizing it for purpose is good.

            Even then, see what happened to KP's R15 due to long riding at highspeeds...
            what happened to my bike? did yo notice something that I haven't noticed? Pls let me know and I shall get it checked

            I ride between 90-110 KMPH for 60-90 mins before I take a break. For a liquid cooled engine that delivers peak power at 7500 RPM I guess driving around 7000 +/- 1000 RPM is no bad at all. Add to it, I am using fully synthetic oil and draining it every 3K kms.

            Yes, the highway runs take toll on the bike panels... vibrations creep in. Sand and small stones that fly by scratch the body panels lime mad and even my helmet visor!!!

              I'll tell you when we meet today...But I suspect it happens to all R15s post a certain km range. Mine is also around 6K kms.&looks like the engine&exhaust note are changing. I don't mind that, but I don't like any engine vibes, which I feel are creeping in at around 6-7K RPM.
              Edit: I think the max power is delivered at 8500 rpm-what does the manual say?

                Maximum torque of 15NM is made at 7500 RPM. Yes, the Max Power of 17PS is made at 8500 RPM... but I am more into torque than BHP

                errr... that was of R15... not related to this thread. Sorry guys.

                • Finally i was allowed to take my bike to the SC.The mech found oil leakage on the top portion of the engine block told me to get some kind of paste (it was from mseal company) he removed the top potion of the block and applied the paste.I changed the bikes Sparkplug and the airfilter together it cost me Rs247. The SC has got hold of the chain cleaning machine that i saw in CBZ they charged me Rs 35 to use it.The mech assured me their would be no more oil leakage. He told me to topup the oil by 50ml i poured 60ml though.Total oil consumed by my bike is 1350ml of very expensive CP1R

                  The SC guys used high pressure water on my roots horn now it doesnt function properly.And the electricals of the bike is pissing me off indicators are not functioning properly ,High beam doesnt work.Gonna charge my battery tomorrow if nothing helps i would have to take the bike to my electrician.

                  After the service i went for over 200+km the bike still feels like its NEW
                  even after 9350kms may be its the synthetic magic.Ravi remember u said 30000kms is nothing for a honda now i can see why.

                  Oh i forgot its kinda official from now on CBZ xtreme+CP1R beats the shit out of any PULSAR 150 DTSI+stock oil on the highway.

                  • Good that the problem is sorted out. The problem you had is engine head leak. Many bikes will have that and it is not a big problem, unless you make sure it is properly sealed.

                    • ^^Good to hear that its not a major problem.After changing the sparkplug
                      and the filter the pickup has improved greatly.spark plug was from NGK.

                      BTW i saw one member here say CP1R lasts only 2500kms for him.Mine is
                      close to 3000kms and it has turned black in colour.I know that color is not an indication of the quality a user has to check the viscosity.To be frank i dont have the experience nor the expertise in this area to be decisive.

                      NOTE:I am not in anyway doubting the gurus here who earlier gave me their valuable advice.I would still follow their advice but that guys comment scared me for sure!.

                        • @racoon then i am screwed.

                          @sarvajit Product shipped and i owe you Rs 10.It cost me Rs45 not Rs55.
                          The guy said you would get it by tomorrow .

                          The electrical problem has vanished after i changed a fuse cost me Rs 9.My bike literally flies now.
                          Could a new sparkplug and/or new air filter increase the performance by this much.

                          @blade7 thanks for the help

                          • Sarbanes-oxley, with experience you can in fact make whether the oil still holds good or not. In fact, I can make it. When you can use a normal mineral oil for more than 3000 km, the CPR1 could be used at least 4000 km. Use it for another 1000 km now and see the difference. If there is any deterioration in ride, you can immediately drain it and next time change the oil at every 3000 km.

                            • ravi after i changed the parts performance have actually increased.Then
                              can i push the bike to the limit to see how it performs now, as i have not taken the bike to the redline for sometime.If it goes to 9500RPM then all is well right.If it doesnt i can change the oil immediately-am i on the right track
