    It will surely last 4k. But to be on the safer side, you an change at 3k kms. Now I am due for a change. Have run 3.5k kms now on 7100 and happy about it

        I cant comment on shell because I havent used it. But so far based on reviews I think that the 300v is simply the best.

            If you want FS oil, you have Motul 300V. This oil has been used by many xbhpian's and they have only praised this oil. Give it a shot. But, mind you, it costs about Rs. 900+/ltr.

            Cheerz!!

            Headlight can be replaced, Head cannot be. Wear a helmet.

              Yes, coolant stops circulating once the engine stops running. The fan starts running once the thermostat senses rise in coolant temperature.

                Hello buddy.....Sorry for late response I got some connectivity problem. Like you mentioned let me give a shot to 300v motul... Yamaha'$ official oil partner.... But 7100 with 20w40 (correct me if I'm wrong) brought some confusion to me. Please suggest me which one should I go for.....
                Thanks in advance:-)

                  You can use 20w50, 20w40, 15w50,10w50 etc etc. Dont worry.

                    But don't you think 20w50 is highly viscous comparatively? My mech claims so and recommends 15w50 all the time. He also showed clearly where all the engine oil circulates and in order to get into all those tiny holes I could see he said an oil of lesser thickness is better.
                    I thought yeah he is right logically and am stuck with the same grade he insisted on!

                      Its clearly stated in service manual to use either 20w50, 20w40 or 15w50.

                          As Ivin said, nothing wrong with the oil viscosity he has mentioned. Also just some advice; if you are really interested in what is good for your bike and how it works, you need to do a lot more than just take your mechanic's advice. A lot of the information out there is just folklore, old information and in many cases just nonsense.
