    have used synthi for 3 times. After 4K, i found oil level very low to continue, so instead toppping up, i replaced.

    • Ideally I would like to go for an Oil Change during every Service, i.e. every 2500 Kms. But then its a personal choice.

        I have been using it for approx 1500kms now ! earlier i used motul and used to change it at 4000kms interval.. believe when I changed to synth, I was told the change interval is close to 8k and 10k range any info ??
        hey bro. seeing you post after a long time. Which Castrol synth exactly are you talking about? Is it fully synthetic?

            yupp.. i have been into hibernation for a while now !! needed a break from life !! tht resulted in something big and unexpected @ my office

            and yess.. i m talkin abt the new castrol fully synth oil.. started using it when i gave my bike for service in AS @ abt 9k kms.. its good.. but i dont feel it offers anything better than motul 300v.. its on par though !

                  +1....Kailash as we were dicussing, the P220 is an amazing ride.... after you left from the PBK... while I was returning home... I did a 135kmph on palm beach road.... no inclines/gradient, and the bike did those speeds real fast... seems like the mechanic touched my bike... and it started flying

                    • Just FYI

                      Hi,
                      23rd night, while coming back from office, the rev meter sudsenly stopped working. Bike was running gr8, though. No warning Lights, nothing. Thought, some minor issues. Next morning, when I started the bike in the morning, the rev meter came alive !

                      Guess, what might have happened

                          oh btw chetan bhaiya ... i got Zapper VYDE installed the tyre is great way better than the stock Zapper better grip and control on the road than what stock used to give. areey yaar that cone set is killing me man and my service is still 1K away..

                          @all guys what air pressure do u guys put in the tyres. I am using front 28 and rear 30 I dont use air I have filled in Nitrogen

                          • Guys! Bajaj is a Bajaj after all! Remember people leaning the chetak scooter to start it!

                            On the 220 it is just turning the bike off and on again to rectify any digital error!

                              If you are riding sedately, the a synth oil can last you upwards of 6-7K kms.....but 120kmph on mysore road is no where close to sedate so I'd recommend you switch between 4-5K kms.

                              Ideally a semi-synth oil runs about 1K kms lesser than fully synth one, but the cost diff is close to double. So from a VFM perspective sem-synth's are pretty darn good.

                              Motul 5100T and Valvoline premium 4T being the two semi-synths that I've used till date, and found both to be pretty good. The Motul one was a shade better though. Better as in it lasted longer and ran smoother.

                                The tacho thinky has happened with me once too....

                                The Zapper Vyde is an amazing tyre, atleast the looks, and now I have heard about its performance too.... cool !!
                                The other day I went to Turbhe PBK, and told them about the handling cone set issue, the mechanic took it for some pretty long ride, came back and said, its normal.... .. but I know its not !!!.... sadly I cannot do anything. I'll probably have to show it at some other PBK next time.... bajaj and bajaj service suxxx bigtime.
