    Re: Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

    Hey [MENTION=10473]Praful[/MENTION]
    Now I am confused as in which grade should I go with the BASS recommending me for a 20 50w grade when checked the Motul dealer he said there is no 20 50w oil in Motul they have 15 50w so is it OK to go with this grade.

      15W50 is perfectly fine for the 220. 300V is the best oil for the 220, but its freakin expensive.

      BTW, there is a 20W50 option available too - Oils and lubricants Products - Motul

      But I have used it once and I did not like it.

              Finally removed the old oil and decided to go with 5100 10w50 as the 300v was really expensive 1k my god. I can't afford this for every 3k km.

                300V will actually last you 5K kms. Maybe a little more if you ride in colder climate and are not a very hard rider. I've once done 9K on 300V!

                  Hello. I have few questions. How did u get to know that oil will last longer after 5k km mark?
                  Can i mix 300v 1ltr and 5100 150ml? What will be the result?
                  I use motul 5100 and i find 2k interval very less. How far the oil last safely according to u?

                    The feel of gear shifts and general roughness are indication of the condition of the oil.

                    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.

                      Can you please tell me the exact drain interval of the 7100 according to you.
                      I drain it at every 3 - 3.5k kms

                        7100 is a FS oil, it *should* last 4.5-5K kms.

                        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.

                          Yeah you are right but the bike feels little aggresive.
                          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.

                              Ok so I don't know what I am posting is technically right or not but here it goes..
                              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..

                                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.
