    [MENTION=16602]s1d[/MENTION], 15w50 grade is available in the 7100, but thanks for pointing it out. I am currently on the 10w50, 15w50, 10w40 and 20w50, too many bottles for too many bikes and grades to remember, and it's easy to get a little paranoid. But anyways, I am attaching a picture for your reference as you asked, barring the number of cans I disposed of. I bought 7100 from a dealer in Mumbai, and I paid Rs. 680 per/7100. In total I purchased six cans, almost a year or so back.
    [MENTION=75545]yasirfz16[/MENTION], if you can't get the 15w50 in 7100, get yourself the 10w50 which is as good or even comparatively better than 15w50.

    15w50 is easily available with 5100, 7100 grades. You just need to search for it, or you can get it from online. I am using the 15w50 7100 15w50 grade for as long as I can remember.

    The 300V is not JASO MA/MA2 certified i.e not certified for extended use in Unit Construction Engines. It is a racing oil and only meant to last a limited number of hours/laps.

    You'd be better off scrapping it and going for a 3100 or something as such which is recommended for use on your motorcycle as per the Owners Manual.

    A.P.

    Good to know info.

    I moved to Motul 7100 10w50 from 7100 20w50 a month ago, there was some vibration early on but it's smoother than it was before oil change.

    If you've followed my post, I've always recommended not to use the 300V on our motorcycles. The oil just doesn't do justice for the price, or the performance it has to offer. The best oil for the NS/RS series are 3100 and the 5100 of the same grade, especially the later. 300V has a high tendency to roughen the engine and induce hard gear shifts after a few hundred KMS of ride or once the engine is warmed up. After extensively using 300V for a while now, it's been years since I've looked back at this oil. It's always Shell, or other grades of Motul and not 300V.

    No, 300V is not recommend for RS200. That oil is only for performance race oriented and lasts only 2000-1500kms. It'll cause leaky head gaskets and bad valve oil seals if used for long duration.

    Stick to Motul 5100/7100 for RS200.

    I bought a second hand RS200 of 2017 make. After purchasing I changed the ball bearing set of handlebar because it had reached it limits. And now, just after 3 months of replacement the same problem is arising, if kept loose then the "kat-kat" sound is obvious in speed breakers and if tightened then the handle movement is partially jammed which poses problem during turns. The local mechanic says that ball bearing set has to be replaced
    Help me suggest what should I do? Ball bearing cant be replaced in every 3 months
    Replace the ball bearing once more if the problem isn't fixed replace the t stem

    One thing to add is that after replacing bearing set I went to mussoorie trip and it is almost hilly terrain. Does that have anything to do with it?
    There is a thud sound that comes from the front somewhere in the RS 200. It has been there since launch, and Bajaj hasn't fixed it even in the BS4 versions. This sound comes when you hit a pothole or speedbump at medium speed. It will not go away, so there is no use trying to rectify it. You'll just have to live with it.

    Cheers.
