    False neutral is quite normal and happens when the dogs don't engage properly, the reason the dogs don't engage can be due to several reasons but inadequate lubrication is the most common contributor.

    Do give Motul 3100 Gold a shot, though not a fan of Motul I have to say the quality of shifts have gone up exponentially on my P220 and the effect remains so even after 1k km's of use, the shifting used to be notchy in comparison on everything I've gone with in the past which includes Motul 5100 and 7100, which though are from the same manufacturer haven't brought such a noticeable difference.

    May or may not work for you.
    How do you compare mineral/semi/ synthetic oils in Real world ?

    Any experiences from synthetic ones?

      TBH, you don't need a semi/synthetic on a 2V, air cooled, 150cc engine. I've been using mineral on mine and never had issues till date. No false neutrals. But I can't shift to neutral when the bike is in motion. I turn off the ignition in first gear and then shift to neutral.

          I am experiencing false neutrals when shifting from 4to 5 gear
          Yes try MOTUL and you could see the differences in gear shifting and Finding Neutrals !!!

            32.3K KMS on the ODO. FE is usally 52-55kmpl on highway rides and 48-50kmpl in city rides. I ride at steady speeds and I don't cross 60 at most times due to the huge NH traffic. Even if you ride at 70-85km/hr all day long, you can atleast expect 45kmpl from the machine. That's the beauty of it. I previously used Castrol Power 1 and currently sticking to Motul 20w40 (4T Plus; mineral; JASO MA2). Fork oils are changed at every 10k intervals. I kick start every morning. It's 2016 January manufactured Model and bought in May 2016. Battery has run it's course and due for a replacement soon. Top Speed is about 105km/hr. Never got the chance to ride above it. Rear tyre is due for a replacement as well. Will stick to the stock nylogrip zapper or get a Masseter. I wish my friend had got the rear disc variant. The rear drum variant doesn't offer much good braking force and the shoes wear out too quickly.

              Wow sounds great [emoji106]. All the very best ...Does your stock HL has enough through in nights ? Have you changed it or any mods still now ?

                      Not anytime Soon buddy [emoji57] . With 2.41 lakh as an ex-showroom price..I can't easily think of buying it.. moreover my hornet is just nearly 2 years old.. just like u even am just curious about CB 300R , but not in a situation to buy...

                      Can someone say me, what's the actual top speed of dominar 2019?
                      Because with just 286cc if the CB 300R reaches 160kmph, am just curious to know how much it is behind the top speed of 373cc dominar...

                        It's not the speed matters with the CC of an engine. All it depends on Horse powers and many such factors .
                        By the way 2019 Dominar indicated top speed would be around 150- 160 kmph.

                          Yep buddy, all those horse power, power to weight ratio, torque matters and never denied that one...
                          cb300 got its "light weight body chasis' as an best in segment...so just because of its mind-blowing "power to weight" ratio am obsessed towards its acceleration, top speed,torque...and as how gud it is scoring in compared with rivals

                            Is it possible to get the ABS unit from the newer model fitted on to the older one with no ABS "officially". I'm an owner of a CBS model. I do understand that a 3rd party ABS might not be as reliable, but since it's actually the same bike (and not 3rd party per se), I was wondering if that's possible.
