What about the price? There is brand called endurance, that is available for 100 per bottle

Yes, they have been shipping fake ones now .I for one was a victim of the same.The packaging and the oil colour was different between the online one and the one that I got from an offline shop.

Guys one doubt. I changed my bikes oil in December with shell ultra fs. Now i am due to the next oil change. I bought two bottles when i changed the oil. Cbr requires only 1.5 ltrs , so the remaining oil is with me right now. So can i reuse the remaining oil for this oil change?

What is the fork oil quantity of cbr, and the specs and preffered brand?

should be ok, endurance is a company that is well known for manufacturing suspension components, and most two wheeler forks are made by endurance including the wp suspension on the ktm's. iirc the fork oil that endurance uses is actually from HP.
if in doubt just get a sealed bottle from your honda svc.

So the one from the local shop could also be the fake one in fact local oil shops are known to sell adulterated/ 'fake' oil of well known brands.
For example, Oils such as the motul synthetic series (7100 300v ) are imported and the imports can usually be either from France or Vietnam (from what i've seen) and so packing might have subtle differences but of-course the same oil will have the same appearance/color.

How were you able to identify fake vs real ?

As long as the oil was sealed and not contaminated, the remaining oil can be used with no problem. Make sure, the current iteration too is of SHELL AX7 ULTRA. One rule of thumb is not to mix different grades of oil with different brands. Stick to the same grade if you have an oil can left from the previous cycle.



331 ML +1 10 ML. The stock fork oil ratin gthat the CBR uses is 10w and is the reason for the spongy suspension setup. You can use 20w 340 ML to stiffen the suspension, yields good results. Secondly, Motul, Veedol, and Endurance all have separate packings. Though Bajaj uses a white label product supplied by HP. Another alternate if you're not able to source the heavier weight fork oil is you can simply add 350 ML instead of the 330 ML of the same stock 10w rating fork oil so that the suspension softness is maintained at the same time, reduces excess diving. A balance of both.

So the heavier oil will affect the ride quality?

I have decided to wait and buy CBR250R. Expecting it to be available for delivery in 2 months. Can someone recommend a good dealer in Chennai whose after sales service is relatively good?

Do service on your own. Watch YouTube videos.. that will help you a lot.

No this will not help and is a foolish route, take the bikes to ASC's always, refer to the manual for the things that can be safely done by the user and stick to that.

I believe he was asking about fork oil. Heavier fork oil will make the bike dive less under braking.

The FI cleaning by Yamaha is mostly a revenue generator for them and so they have 'recommended' intervals. They use a basic setup to do the cleaning ( A more professional and through way is to use ultrasonic cleaning equipment, which most places won't have). If it was really compulsory at such shorter intervals then what about in the past (since this injector cleaner equipment was introduced by yam only around 3 yrs ago), did the r15's not require this earlier??
One needs to understand the ground reality before falling for such unnecessary (but not harmful) service of equipment.
Since you already use normal fuel and the additives, i suspect it might not be a clogged injector.

In your case I doubt it's the injector.. apart from the ignition coil/plug wire/cap, i would also suggest you make sure there is no air leak around the filter box/filter box to throttle body and throttle body to intake, i.e. make sure the connections are also air tight and secure.. if necessary just disassemble, inspect (replace part if req) and put them back together. And maybe get the fuel tank cleaned out and fuel pump inspected (usually has a sock type filter on the pump itself) and if the cbr has a fuel filter, replace that as well.

As for the mobile charger you can go ahead and wire it in with the ignition circuit or a separate circuit with switch and put a 5A fuse inline, no issues.. but avoid connecting it directly to the battery.

Engine oil can be changed by the user buddy. Yet you took it to a local mech whom you blamed for engine screw up. Whats your point?
