i used a motul 300v 15w50 a few weeks ago on my RTR FI and it is really bad. Pickup is awefully pathetic. But i have to live with it for sometime.

Next will move to motul 7100 10w40 FS oil.

Does the combo really stands true?

I've heard quite a lot people using this grade (maybe coz they're unable to find xW40) in their RTR's and they provide quite good feedback and never mentioned anything wrong with pick-up or anything. Just want to confirm if any other person also felt so or is it Tron's individual case

Have rode few RTR's with this oil. Oil is good, but pick up takes a beating since the oil is thicker! It takes away the fun from RTR!

xW30 [P1 currently] will have more powerful pickup because of thinner oil.

**pushkarb** · 06-02-2011, 10:42 AM

Either way, its best to stick to xW40 which is "prescribed" for the RTR by TVS.

Pickup will take a beat when xW50 is poured into it,myself faced the same prob when I poured it in my bike.
Today will take the bike for servicing
will get the tappet thing solved and clutch setting is required,one way clutch will be sorted out

Will pour Veedol superswift 10w40 in my bike,mrp was 327 but got it for 280

,I guess cause its manufactured in Howrah!
