How does 300v perform on your NS?

Performs awesome! The best oil you can get for your bike! But now that my average speed has come down to 20-30kmph from the highway cruising speeds of 80-90kmph... I dunno if this would be beneficial to me.

Re: Engine Oils

What should be the life of synthetic engine oil if bike is used less...
Can I go on using the same oil for over a year if i have not completed the required no of kms for oil change?

Re: Engine Oils

For Fz25 fully synthetic is recommended. Should I go for 300v? 7100 brought out and unnecessary vibes. Out should I try 5100?

Re: Engine Oils

Hello guys,

I'm using Motul v300 in my NS200 for the past few years. Earlier I had a monthly running of 1200kms, and hence I used to do an oil change every 5-6 months.

However, recently I relocated closer to my office and my monthly running has gone down to 300-400kms per month.

This makes my total running around 2000kms for 6 months. And according to calculations, it would take me close to 18-months for an oil change (utilising the entire life of the engine oil)

My question is if 18-months is okay as a time period for engine oil change?

I can switch to Motul 5100 later, but currently, I have 3-4 bottles of Motul v300 in stock.

Re: Engine Oils

I have 450ml of Motul 7100 10w40 in Delhi. Anyone wants it?

Re: Engine oil

No, you're not.

Recommended would be 10w40 "MB" I guess, motorbike oils are xxWxx "MA" or "MA2". For now you could run with the current oil. Next time onwards you could use either 10w40 or 20w40 depending on your regional temperature and riding conditions, ensure you use "MB" grade oil only for clutchless scooters.

Yea even till now I've seen positive affects of more viscosity oil it's performing better in high speeds!! As it's hot here too (JAIPUR) . CHEERS

Yes . Absolutely no problem in it . Only make sure that the car oil used is of same grade (i.e 10w30 or 10w40 etc ) . You can even use the same car oil in the scooter gearbox . Because the ability to use any any automotive oil in these scooters is because it has a dry clutch , not because of the separate gearbox .

Svc uses motul 8100 5W40 FS oil in Aprilia SR 150 which is basically a car engine oil. Hence the confusion and query.

My only concern is that scooter engine are high revving when compared with car engine..foaming of oil may occur I guess..

Re: Engine Oils



Hope this helps the decisive buyer.

Personally I'd any day opt for a higher flash point since long distance touring/commuting is my preferred means of motorcycling.

Re: Engine Oils

Hi All,

A word of caution for people using ninja 250 (2009 -2012) on using of motul 7100 20W 50 grade, after around 4500kms + the engine oil quantity decreases drastically from 1.7lts to 1.2 lts as of burning of oil and a regular topup is required time and again.

I raised the same issue to the Motul facebook page to know if they are aware of the issue and any recommendation on the same, to which i got a call back, with the tecnical person suggested me to change the grade of oil from 20W50 to 10W40, just as a recommendation ( not sure why he was doing it, even he was not aware of it. ).

I have even heard other ninja 250 users faced the same problem with fully synthetic oil and read similar thread on pulsar 220. ( May be a ester Issue).

Just wanted to check with other 7100 & 300V users of the issues faced by them.??

PS: i for my use would not go for motul fully sysnthetic again. may be time to shift to shell.

I use 7100 in my RS for almost 2 years,Earlier also I used it in Avenger 180, Never faced such problem.
Aside,Beware of some online sellers,noticed some sale duplicates-Even on Amazon at discount.So I prefer offline purchase from local stores.
You should stick to service manual for selecting oil grade-I think it is 10W40 for Ninja250 as you stated.
