    Company mentioned is 6000 kms. But it actually depends upon your riding style. I have not personally used 300V, but believe it to perform very well. If you are not a cruiser, you can surely take it to another 2000 kms i hope. What is the company recommended grade of oil for your bike ?
    If it is 20W50, better stay with 7100 because that is enough and you can save some money too....

    I agree, but we are talking on oil life if it is not used too much or sitting idle.
    Again, car engine produces more heat that bike due to bigger size engine.

    Some people may say that I am wasting oil, So be it.

    Engine oil is cheaper than engine works!
    Your information is true for Miniral oils and not synthetic oils.
    Even Cars uses these Synthetic oil is used for an year (company prescribed).

    It could! But I redline most of the times, also it's very dusty in the place I live.
    And I own Hero Impulse.its my primary bike and the parts are hard to come by.so I won't take any chances!
