But it hasnt been tested on Hornet!

Most of the Hondas had a 10w40 abroad or a 20w40 in india recommended before every Honda and TVS shifted to 10w30. Shift to 10w30 is for engines with tight tolerances, for better mileage and lower emissions. Honda recommended 20w50 for the Unicorn 150 engine in Peru, IIRC. It will be interesting to note that Bajaj recommends 10w40 in their vehicles sold in Russia.

Rimula 15w40 will not 'damage' your Hornet's engine in anyway. In fact, it will provide slightly better protection at cruise speeds.

For Hornet, do try the Honda Throttle FS which Honda uses for CBR250R. It should work good.

It shouldnt do any damage! But the thing is! R4 is a diesel engine oil and it hasnt been tried or tested on the Hornet engine which is why i am saying! It shouldn’t be a problem though

Yes, yes, I understood what you said

- that was for him as he thought a xW-40 will damage the engine.

Anytime you want. Tomorrow or after 5k kms as superstitious believers. I am not one of them and you can use FS right from day 1 as I have done to all my motorcycles and cars.

Hi Ivin i have completed 1000 kilometers , today, the problem is that after the engine is heated up, its smoothness goes down and the engine doesn't want to rev. Can i use motul 7100, 10w 40

When i used FS in my zmr, the clutch started slipping! There was oil leaking as well! Heard it was due to the easy penetration power of Fs oil and they arent meant or required for small capacity engines!! My ZMR certainly didnt like it

That means i need to use semi synthetic oil for my super compressed air cooled engine [emoji22][emoji22]

That can happen as well. Thats why I suggested Honda throttle. Its loses its properties within 2k-3k kms anyway.
