sir, i am sorry if you thought i was provoked, (and thank you for calling me a 'youngster' ), its just that i enjoy a good argument
and lets not talk about joint families etc etc.. we can take this talk off this thread and maybe in to the 'coffee lounge' section of xbhp were more people who want to talk on this topic may post their views.

There is a huge discussion in XBHP regarding oil and I think there is a separate thread for it too. If you are confused, ask one of our Moderators. They are the most experienced guys and its the roads and bikes who know them, instead of the other way.
If the rating is 10W30 and they have charged 600 INR to you for the first change, it is Full Synthetic Honda oil. Please stick to it and if possbile go to the service center with a shotgun and ask them to change the oil (TROLL included). Change the oil mate, that's the best you can do to your ride. Also, I follow the change of oil in the below mentioned manner:

1. Mineral - 1500-2000 KMs
2. Semi-Syn - 3500-4000 KMs
3. Full Syn - 5500-6000 KMs (however, I have never bothered to go for full synthetic. too costly for my type of use)

PS : I own a P150 with oil rating 20W50 and currently using 15W50 rated oil. WINTERS and approaching.

For Shell and Motul, yoy have mentioned 15/20W50 rated oil. Please note that if the oil rating is 10W30, you can very well vary the rating '10' to 5 or even 0 but don't go above 10. As far as the value after W is concenred, please stick to the one mentioned in the manual. And yup, Thai and Indian versions are different.

Umm, P220 engine in Avenger is mroe reliable than the more aggressive brother P220? Mate, they are two different bikes so have got different ways of throwing in power and torque. Avenger is a relaxed cruiser whereas P220 is like an aggressive brawler.

OIL OIL OIL enough talked about Oil . Let us talk about Fuel . Anyone tried premium petrol in CBR150R ?. I am thinking of filling with SHELL today. Just want to test the performance with premioum fuel. Any suggestions please.

You people Use The Carb Version of The Bike ..And here Its FI(Fuel Injected) which adds to the extra cost....This is the Reason why you say its costlier for a 150cc Bike.....Understood????

Dude I filled the bike with Speed during my first long trip. It was wonderful. Since I was in run-in during that time, I didnt rip it much. And the bike was really smooth except for the gears. I only fill Speed when I goto long trips.

And the showroom guys said to me while taking delivery not to fill the bike with premium fuel.. I dont know why they said that.

Ok this thread is in the verge of being closed as it is becoming like a flaming thread (thanks to the troller)

Shell and Speed are more or less equivalent right?


I was also told like that only. Thats what i wanted to know.

Speed what? Shell doesn't sell anything beyond 91 RON; BPCL has regular 91, so technically they're almost the same (but then we can't comment anything on adulteration ); BPCL also sells Speed 97 RON (high octane)

ji thanks for showing up here!.

Which one you recommend ? Shell or Regular ?.

If you've money Shell - for the service & good will, otherwise from any good/reputed PSU oil dealer, to save money

saw this in a site. Shell being demonstrated as cleaning agent and anti friction. Though for formula one car, the video at the end says it also applies to bike.

Owing to the 2-hours only power policy of our state, I couldn't reply as of then. Also, Opera mini is not working in the mobile with the new editor.

Yesterday was full raining and I could not take the bike out of shed for me inspect but today morning i got a surprise. The fairings were removed and were not fixed properly. Then, I checked the level of the oil using the dip stick and it does not even upto the tip of the stick, leave the minimum mark aside. So, within 10 mins, started off. Went to the ASC. Flamed at them. Asked them to check the oil level, and they were not able to say a word for their claim after that. The head supervisor agreed its their mistake and changed the oil free-of-cost. Throughout the service, I was near my bike. The oil they are using is 10W30 FS. It was in a closed barrel from Honda.


That would be great.. Either the redbull thingy or the preaching or the both!

Yeah. Decided to stick with the same and also did the same.

Nywys, Those documents were of the previous versions of Thai 150R.
Who knows what is in the new one's. False-preaching!

And I clear and clearly said even before that and even once after that, I have referred to the manual!

Yeah, thats a discovery made.

1. This bike is the least VFM.
2. Its a thai bike sold in India which according to you seems to be a big offense.
3. Those big tyres and rear sprocket change are useless and are methods of cheating people here in India.
4. This bike is faster but sluggish and so its useless., (probably for a more lazy rider like.. )
5. The speedo is deceiving.
6. It never accelerates. and so on...

So what..,
Sir, as I already quoted to you once, (that was in a nice manner)
If you are ready to have your thoughts about the bike to your damn head and reply to the queries here., you and your 'preaching' are gladly welcomed here.
But, if you decide the other way around, please stay off.
Your thoughts smell foul in your sentences and if you can't write without them, please don't!
Good for you, us, the thread, and the forum.

Honda CBR 150 R

^^^^ dude where r u from ??? Chennai ????

thats a sad story of south TN. Cant beleieve govt. being so deaf to this issue. they realy want us to feel Koodankulam installation is mandatory, even though not needed they create scenes to justify it. What to do.

Common Praveen, put a full stop to this. Dont drag on the brawl. We cannot stop others to write their views here, leave alone this forum, we are in a democratic country. just because some one tell us our bikes are junk, not they are going to be junk realy. Chill yaar. The best way is to change the topic instead of bugging on the same point. lets discuss something useful and fruitfull here.

I have searched in net regarding this high octance fuels, some says it is good for high revving engines (like our's) but also depends on fuel injector, knock sensors. If we have knock sensors then there is no harm in using high octane fuel. (Do we have such knock sensor). High octance fuels enhance smoothness in engine. Having said that they also point out in some kind of engines these high octane petrol can erode some parts in engines harming them. finaly they conclude saying follow the maker's recommendation leaving us(me) in confusion. I want to realy go for Shell and try out atleast once how it behaves. Hope my engine should be safe.

one more point i read that in cars high octane fuels increase responsiveness with very small pressure on gas pedal.

Me said enough. and no more sayings!

Regarding the High octane fuel., in my opinion, They are not practically feasible to be used with the rates of normal fuel at sky-high level, ans those high-octane one's at even high, at-least till the level of a above-normal class of Indian family.

Sorry folks for intruding the CBR 150R thread even though I own a Pulsar 150. Can't stop myself from posting things that may help the fellow riders irrespective of the bike. Mate, here in Hyderabad we had this promotional offer in June-July when Super Shell was retailing at 77.80/L. Normal BP,HP,IO petrols were retailing at 75.24/L. I was like even if I fill in 10L of petrol, I am just saving 20 Rs., so went to Shell station, twice in that period and got full tanks 2 times, 11.xx L the first time and 9.80L the second time. Fuel efficiency bumped up by +5KMPL and engine was super smooth(Pulsar's standards ).

The thing is, if I can use it my power commuter, you can very well use it. Trust me, I got my friends too to fill it up and they were all praises for the Super Shell. However things have changed, no offers now and Shell Unleaded retails at 88.90/L whereas the normal BP/HP/IO unleaded retails at 74.26/L. I always go in for full tanks, i.e. >10L and I initially was using BP, so got no problems even with mixing of fuels. Shell's site too says that its ok to mix their fuels with other brands.
