congrats dude...will give a surprise visit at your place to see your baby...

so finally its roaring again ? good to hear that

btw when do I have the opportunity to see your little wonder ?

wat hero honda oil in a superbike
i dont think that oil is designed for a cbr; atleast use shell advance or power1
was 10-30 oil was recommened by honda tech plp ,wat does manual specify,i think that is for cold climate

i really wanna know the dynamics of these oils, how they work , what does the rating mean , why do different four stroke engines use different kind of oils.. etc etc ....

6000 Rs per liter ! ? . Thats plain day robbery . The bike will require 3-4 liters? , thats 20000 /- Rs just for Oil ? .They are taking you for a ride .
Ask them where is it witten that you should use such expensive oil. Write to honda heads and a get an explaination to this .

PS: learn to use internet and get into some honda forums , that will have every detailed information . No offense .

So the FireBlade requires 10W30 oil is it?

@fireblah: everything you want to know is present here http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/universa...gine-oils.html

Congratulations on getting the new CBR. You have a beautiful machine there.

I must admit, great great job by Honda to get their tech men flown to your city and then to your place to diagnose the problem. They have come mighty long way to fix a loose connector.

6000Rs / liter is too much for oil. Exorbitant is a understatement. Outrageous is more like the word. If you do a little more searching, I am sure the oil with the specific grade you are looking for is available.

It is like this because of various duties charged as its imported from japan.
As for lookin on internet for info, I am always on the look.... And i honestly believe, honda will never take their customers for a ride. They are looking for alternatives and are in talk with their Indian oil supplier for a local source...

@ insanebiker : yup the recommend oil is 10w30

@Fireblah: Nice to see her back.Two things i like to share with you
1: You got a bigger bike but a messy garage uh..ah.. don't like that attitude treating a one of the favorite bike in the world
2:don't post one after another post try to merge in one post it will help others to read better

That's the things i like to share hope you like it,All the best for your future rides with your BLADE

@fireblah:congrats for your bike mate.and thank god it is back to its glory.
As ace hunter said your garage is all messed up and your beauty is lying there and i can see some dirt on your beauty too.

hey buddy congrats on your glorious buy!!...haa haaa yeah really funny these questions people ask!! i own an R1 and if its parked in front of a CCD outlet then they have a few looks and then come inside and when they see the helmet 'ok this is the guy' and the next question is "excuse me but is this orginal or a kit!!???"and before you even answer out comes the next"where did you get it done!??"

10w30 - the best (and easily available) oils are the castrol power 1 racing (650/lit) or the petronas sprinta (500/lit) or motul 300v FL (800/lit). All prices are approx

^ Guess he wants only the exact grade. No deviations.

So only HH oils will do. All the oils u mentioned are xW40 oils.

^^ castrol P1R is exactly 10w30. Motul is 5W40 and am not sure about petronas.

@fireblah: First of all, congrats on the Blade. You are a proud owner of one of the most well-sorted and rider friendly liter bikes around. Take good care of her.

Good to see Honda India's immediate reactions towards the issue. Maybe this is why they have not launched the bikes in the South, they probably want a slow rollout so that any potential problems can be handled faster. But it's killing their sales at the same time.

Although I've no clue as to how the power dropped suddenly, I'm not quite sure how a loose connector can be the culprit. If it was the loose connector, that injector would not have worked at all and you'd have gotten an error code instantly. I'm sure even the Blade's ECU is designed to throw out error codes, and has a self diag feature as well.

The low voltage theory is also not sitting well with me. A loose connector will not transmit low voltage, it just won't transmit any voltage at all.

Think it over, visit some Blade forums, like nfsnfs suggested, and keep picking the Honda techs brains. I'm not saying distrust them, but don't take any conclusion at face value, just because they have the full official resources at their disposal. Honda India and Yamaha India's service personnel thinking is not so different, and this is my honest observation, looking at how the companies have been handling diagnosis issues over the past year or so.

As for the oil, use any standard mineral oil man. Toss the grade and the ultra special
"6000/litre" oil ideas out the window. If the HH oil works for you, go for it.

Keep the rubber side down, and get some good gear. If you need any info, ask around, there is plenty of help on this forum.
