    I never give my bikes to anyone, not even my own brother!

    Can anyone tell me the complete name of the oil good for the RS? Thanks a lot!
    It's perfectly alright to use Motul oil right from first service.
    Been on Motul 5100 15w50 since first service.

      Any difference since you have changed from Bajaj to motul?

        Can't give a comparison review as such cause I've been on Motul since first service.
        And first 500 kms on Bajaj oil wouldn't count as an experience during run in period.

          Thanks a lot bro!

          Also, did you change the oil yourself or got it done from SVC?

          I'm thinking since I can't find Motul anywhere, I'll switch to Motul after 2nd service. Will ask if the SVC is willing to do it for me. Hopefully I can find it by then.

          Cheers!

              I bought the oil myself but got it changed at the SVC. Initially they were cribbing that the warranty will be void. But on speaking to the service station manager everything was sorted.

                They will mainly look at oil change and oil filter change.
                At my last service they said that they have got a notice from Bajaj stating not to change the O ring for the oil filter.
                There's nothing major to look at during second service. Just ask them to check coolant level, brake oil levels which they would normally do.

                    A general advice is that you complete your running period in bajaj oil. Before running in, you won't expect performance. Let the mineral oil do its job. Hold your patience. Then go for 5100 for smoothness

Anyway stating here out of my curiosity, I don't understand how one can lend their lovely motorbikes to friends, that can be acceptable when your close friend asks for a ride, but secondly, that too for a stunt...!! . Do you really want to destroy this masterpiece?. Damages needn't be visible. Easily it could've blown rear shocks, swing-arm wear, loosening of engine mounts or even chances for a wheel misalignment causing a permanent long term issue. By the nature of Physics, when returning from stoppie, the bikes takes a heavy toll from it's own weight + rider weight + momentum. This force is more than enough to damage components. And now not to mention RS which weighs at least 15-25 Kgs heavier typically as compared to other equivalent models. Hence it can take more than what a P220 would take.

                      In your case, check for the disc plate alignment. Scratching sound or squeaky sound?. With engine disconnected, the wheel rotates freely and makes less sound and more likely you get the chance of hearing the sound. Park it in neutral and try rotating it. Try putting it in 1st gear (if you have center stand) and observe with and without clutch. And as @vvk1999 suggested, please check for any cracked or broken joints, also for the missing nuts or bolts as well. Don't ride with it. If you can't figure it out, take it to svc, but never tell them about stunts, because it may not be entitled for warranty claims(I hope). And remember street bikes are not meant for these.

                      Ride safe bro, post here if the problem gets resolved.
                      yeah the enfield is heavier ,i was under the impression it weighed 220kg but the weight placement makes it easier to manage than the R.S,and the enfield legs reach properly down for a good grip all the time but R.S the grip is not there,usually the forefoot is only in contact with the ground. (also i think enfield has a very low center of gravity ,so that also makes it easier) Only acute turning is a issue on the enfield.

                        Hey Guys,
                        Bought myself the black RS200 today, (pics attached)
                        Is the run in actually required? I was told that with the new engines and technology, run in period is obsolete now.
                        Also please advise on proper run in techniques.
                        Ps: I know it would be available in the manual, but I I would receive the manual only after a few days due to registration issues.

                            So you mean I should use Bajaj Oil for the first 2000 Kms?

                            The bike is pretty smooth till 4k RPM, after which it gets vibes till 5k RPM. But it's manageable. So I have no problem in using Bajaj Oil, which was also suggested to me by the Dealer.

                              Thanks Minisoda.

                              Also guys, I have ridden the bike close to 60 to 70 Kilometers today, towards the end I could hear my right fairing rattle (even at a low speed of 10km/hr)

                              Any way I can rectify this without going to the service center?
