    The old Bullets are similar to cars with separate oil for the engine. Right? Probably why GTX works for Bullets?

    I used Shell car oil for like 600kms and the clutch plates wore itself out.

        a 20W50 will give better lubrication and form a thicker layer of oil at high temps as compared to a 20W40 oil ( if i am not wrong). Hence if it says 20W50.. better to go for the correct grade.

          Which oil are you using now? Am using Motul 3000 4T 15W50. Nowadays its easily available with almost all oil shops in hyderabad!

            I get my P200 serviced at the Bajaj Probiking service centre; hence, I use their engine oil.

                Hey silver_falcon, thanks. My P200 is doing fine. It was having some starting issues since the past 20 days or so, but just managed to start it!

                Yes, ofcourse I remember the very first day I bought her. It was a wonderful feeling; I have completed 20,000kms. on it till date.
                :)

                    Hey i just started using castrol GTX 20W50 for P200.
                    Its been around 1500kms now and the performance is very fine.
                    However is it fine to user this for bikes? Coz heard that its only for cars....

                      It is clearly written on the can - "For Petrol Cars". As discussed in the other thread, and as pointed out by rossiter clearly, using the GTX 20W50 might result in clutch slippage. However, there is another 20W50 rated oil from Castrol - the Castrol Active Xtra which is meant specifically for motorcycles.

                      It's hard to procure but I have used that oil extensively on my P180 Classic, which incidentally also required 20W50 grade oil, and it performed flawlessly.
                      :)

                              K&n r-1100

                              will the K&N R-1100 fit in the air box of p200??
                              i had been to the pbk service centre and the mechanic told me that he'd have to make a hole in the air box to accomodate my air-filter...

                              anyone with ideas???

                                It wont cause any harm to the engine but you may need to clean the air filter very often. say 600 to 800km once
