Hey Guys
Happy Friendship Day
Hope you enjoyed your day with your friends

After a week full of tension and frustration my Ninja is back in Action and it was all due to fake oil that I had unknowingly poured in my bike.
Took the bike again to PBK yesterday(5th time in this week and it was twice last sunday that I visited there). Got the filter and engine oil changed to Bajaj Dtsi oil. The mechanic asked before doing all this that you had changed to Motul, why back to this told him I had suspicion for this oil as since when my clutch plates were checked.
After changing,he took for a test ride and when returned immediately prompted that I think your oil was fake, bike feels much composed now.
I changed to Bajaj oil as I didn't wanted to take chances if I get another fake oil.
Learning : Learnt how could an oil make huge differences to performance, got to know much more about my bike when clutch plates were verified and of course double check your oil that you are giving to your bike, I did but my bad luck

P.S: All thanks to PSR Sir, n_aditya, kirran, jd666. I was in constant touch and then were great help.
Thanks to other members too who have given their inputs and helped to get to the root cause.

Finally I
managed to procure Healtech GIPRO DS gear indicator from UK. The one from US didn't arrive for more than 2 & a half months and upon complaining the vendor has returned back my money. The one from UK arrived within 7 days through Royal British Mail and looks awesome. I will try and upload pics soon. Now the relay for the led tail light is pending.

Big relief to know that the issue was just with the oil.
Have you noticed the difference immediately, especially at high speeds?
Have you checked the oil bottle to identify whether it is fake?
I bough the Motul oil from the shop (SP road) suggested by other members, so it should not be fake. I have to check the bottle anyway.....
I was not available at the time of oil change, but I don't want to doubt the SVC guys before checking my bike....

Glad that your problem got resolved buddy
Performanceracingstore also is a dealer of Motul. Just ask them if they can get the Motul mineral fir the next time so that you have the oil from a trusted source

Just checked out there site today, they 300V with them. Will be getting the same as I plan to do the next oil change at 6k mark and will be going for 300V.

Glad things worked out well for you...and it was due to systematic ruling out of other causes...You were clear in your recollection of chain of events leading to the problem,so it was possible to narrow down the problem .
Please ensure the 300 V does not turn out to be otherwise too...
In other countries some Ninja 250 owners have used Shell Rotella " T " oil , meant for diesels, with very good result....Basically you need a good 20w50 oil of JASO MA2 spec.
Good Luck.Ride Safe.

Yes,sir that will be the main concern now while buying oil and will be checking some sources and verify their genuiness beforehand.

nice to hear it buddy,just check the top end once and do let us if theproblem still exists

Sorry to hear about your experience from psr'jee & read about it here now - the fakermongers now has got into motul too .. damnn !! Yes 5100 15w50 should have been sparkling straw golden colour when pouring . Good that you noticed it and remembered .. tell everyone you can about the shop that sold you the fake and warn the dealer too . You'd do good to stick to mineral oil for now ... much less chance of fake there & good for your new bike too.

I just got the bike's 1st service done from Shreeram Bajaj, Thane. I bot the Motul 15W 50 SS as suggested by 'Kairznin' from a dealer here for the bike. The engineer didn't had to do much in the 1st service, except for washing, oil and filter change, air filter cleaning and chain cleaning + lubrication. I was waiting at the PBK workshop while the above task were being done. It took around 2hrs for the service.They took my bike for washing soon as the job card was made as I had requested them to do the servicing on a priority basis cause I had to rush to work. The overall experience at Shreeram Bajaj was pretty good and I can recommend the service centre to others due to its quick service and a very helpful, informative and friendly service guy Vijay.
On the ride back to work I could easily make out the difference in the ride quality and I am sure it is because of Motul that I used in the bike as suggested by "kariznin'. (Thanks for the advice buddy)

Its sad to know that you got a fake Motul Oil for your bike. Infact I bot Motul since I thot it to be a best brand available since you and a few others advised me. And in my case the bike is running excellent and the smoothness is felt at high rpm's also.
Newaz good to know your bike is running fine now. Beware of the fake products in your area is all i can say.
P.s. Motul SS is golden yellowish in color so the brown color was obviously a fake one.
