The immediate change is reduced engine heat. Earlier operating temperature as per console was around 45 to 49 now this has been reduced to 41 to 44. The engine feels like breathing better than before. For the first time today morning I have crossed 100 under 5k RPM. Can't tell you about the engine noise but the vibration was 0 and the bike was stable.

Yup, i meant 5100, 15W50.
I doubt whether 7100 come with 15W50, i think it is 10W50. I used it in my B500, and engine sound increased as it is bit thinner compared to 15W50.

But how is 5100 on REH?

Motul 300V was also 15W 50. 15w 50 is the grade , right now I am using 5100, you may also opt for 7100 that is semi synthetic.

Hi Monkeyrev, what svc says about timing chain sound, will it settle down after sometime or it is normal or need rectification?

Hi maadyy, Motul 15W50 is the best oil for RE. What change you found in engine noise, heat, performance after using motul 15W50?
I just did first service with RE oil replaced at 500kms, will put motul 15W50 after 1000kms.

in my reh ive ridden 1500kms, theres a noise like tappet sound or something broken khil khil
while riding or decelerating.. Aftr 5000 rpm it goes bt at 3rd or 4th gear normal speeds it irritates so mch.
Svc says its timing's sound.

As of now completed 1000km's. The engine sound I was thinking of is not so. It turned out to be the wind shield s the spoilt sport. However there is a change in heat dissipation after switching to Motul 5100 15W50 form Motul 300V. 3 days ago I went on to meet Mr Hemant from HDT Customs. He is an owner of Himalayan BS3 and told me that he is using 300v since day 1. Anyways I am not much convinced with Motul 300V. The operating temperature is still same but the engine appears to be cooler than before. As of now I have kept varying the RPM from 3 to 4 now I have started varying it from 4 to 5.

There are users complaining about ABS. IN person also I have met riders who has a point about ABS not performing at par. But to my experience it's other way round as there are situations where ABS turns out to be good. Though the rear tyre at times tend to get lock and starts fish tailing. Anyone with similar kind of experience?
