    new pulsar handle bars felt really comfortable, are there any real changes or just my mind is confused.
    +1 for the RTR mirrors, how can we fit them. I heard they are direct fit?
    Gotten really fed up of doing the chicken dance for the stock mirrors!!
    Its such a pain on highways/while touring.

    You can mix oils, does not matter. Final result is dependent on much %ages of each oil is mixed. Obviously if you mix 50-50 300V and 5100 the oil will not last 5K+ kms, but it will be somewhere in between.

    5100 can easily be used to 3.5-4K intervals.

    2K and below change intervals only if its a mineral oil.

    I get my 220 pressure washed once every 2 months, after the wash bike feels smooth for atleast 2-3 days & then again it just feels rough & sounds harsh, so last week I was washing a mud stain on front mud gaurd & accidentally sprayed water on the oil cooler, the ride after doing that was not the rough one & bike felt smooth again. So from last week I am spraying water on the oil cooler evry day & bike doesn't feels rough or harsh any more
    Is their any technical explanation for these??
    I don't know whether this works for other 220s but this water spraying totally works for my ride..

    *Drop a Gear & Disappear*

    Spraying water on the oil cooler, will bend its fins and then it wont effectively cool as much.

    The reason why it feels smooth is because the bike cools down and the chain gets cleaned up.

    Does the 300V really provides bump in power & acceleration as the motul claims? is it really worth of spending 1k for a litre of 300V
    Engine oil alone will never give any bump in acceleration/power/topspeed.

    300V is the BEST, whether its worth spending 1K is totally upto you. For me personally, after the price crossed 800/- it stopped being worth it. Its way too expensive to put on a 1L+ km run 220.

    5100 is 80% as good as 300V, but it costs much lesser.

    But the only two times I tried 7100, I just did not like the feel. The bike was running very rough, so I changed it both times in 3K.

    I drain it at every 3 - 3.5k kms
