Great videos, keep them coming. Quick question - how do you get to change oils other than Throttle that the dealership usually uses when you give your bike for service? Do we have the option of buying these aftermarket oils and getting them to replace it during the oil services? My CB has done 4k+ and is about 10m old ...would love to try some different oils other than Throttle...just don't know how.
Hey buddy to be honest, my bike Never went to the Bigwing service center for any free service other than the first free service. I myself belonged to the automotive service industry i maintain all my bikes and cars at home itself. At the most you can request the Bigwing service center to use the oil of your choice and buy litres of engine oil from them just to keep it company records to be compliant with warranty. If you have other bikes(even an Activa) at home, you can use the Throttle oil for them. Don't quote me although 😅
Just wanted to check with you about H'ness 350. From one highness owner to another. Its been six months since I have purchased this amazing cruiser. But of late, I've been observing some sort of sound coming from the bike only between the speeds 40 to 60 and that too not whilst throttling/accelerating but when we decelerate or bring the accelerator to its default position. Some sort of sound as if the chain is touching or (wish I could make sound in comments 😂) something. I specifically observed this happens in 4th gear only. Not in other Gears. Is it normal or ever happened with your H'ness ?
Let me attempt to imitate the sound 😁. Is it something like "khniss..Khniss..Khniss" 😂 2 things...1. Check if the chain is too loose and touching the chain slider rubber on top of the swing arm. 2. Rotate the wheel by hand and see if there is any noise from the rear brake system. Secondly, I was recently telling one of my other CB friend that the rear sprocket hissing noise is very much synonym to the overall CB350 firing. So get the chain slack checked once and check for the rear brake noise.
Sir liquimoly 5w40 recommended I have used both both 10w40 and 5w40 5w40 i used it for 5500km it feels good even at that time 10w40 nearly 3k going.. I planned to go back to 5w40. So it is recommended or not sir
This one’s interesting. My personal experience is a tad different. I used 5W30 Motul V300 and following is the experience: Smoothens the engine. Fuel economy stays the same. Gear changes are smooth and vibration reduces while the difference is evident when compared with Stock Honda Oil. The unique experience of this Motul was the settling time on morning start was pretty good and the motorcycle seldom went to high rpms that it goes with stock oil for 40-50 seconds without acceleration. The worst part was, it was reduced by 30 ml and it turned almost dark brown, The deterioration starts at 3500 Kms and I had to change it at 4200 Kms. Currently I am using Liqui Moly 10W30 for Honda Highness CB350 which I got it for 998 for 2 liters. Have clocked around 200+ kilometers and lets see how it does but for this short duration, following are some personal experiences: Engine smoothness is same as Motul, Gear changes are much superior to Motul both up and down shifts while vibrations are equivalent to Motul as her highness has some vibration at swing arms irrespective of oils, no matter how correct you tighten the chain. The downside that I can see if it can be called one is that the settling time for morning startups are like stock oil and unlike Motul 300V. Overall I think Liqui Moly makes a good value while costing almost half. Technically too it had proved its superiority years back - sharing the video of different grade oil though times have changed now: czcams.com/video/cLFWFPiByNI/video.html P.S. I use my highness for long rides only Thane-Baroda or Shirpur or Kharadi Pune etc.
For colder weather like yours the most ideal would going with a 5W30 oil. While I say that unless it's not snowing, even a 10W does the job. Just one recommendation, whenever you start the engine, let the engine idle for atleast 30-40 seconds before you gear on and move the bike.
Have you done with all the free service of your H'ness. If yes and if planning to service outside, then you can go for Idemitsu IRG7 10W30 Full Synthetic Engine Oil. This oil is an upgraded version of the Honda Throttle Engine Oil used by service center but costs around 450/ltr (as per current discount rates they are have). It may be little difficult to find them in local spare shops, but you can call Idemitsu company helpline number directly and get name of the concerned regional sales guy in your locality. I did the same in where I live. Have used this oil in my recent Rajasthan ride and found it to be a gem at the cost it is available at.
Irg5 mast oil hai bhai. Maine honda xblade bs6 main daala hai bahut smooth ride de ta hai.Irg 7 oil odisha main available nahin hai. IRG 7 kahan pe milega online bhai?
Nice Video, next time i am planning to change my cb350 engine oil by myself at my home, Do I need to change oil every 6 months even if bike has not run 4000-5000 kms?
Wow. I thought IRG7 is as good as Throttle (The idemitsu made one, not the shit we get in Kolkata). just noticed Throttle is MA standard, where as IRG 5/7 are MA2. Will be eagerly waiting for your review. Btw, the throttle in the video is manufactured by Idemitsu 😁
Hi.. Mera Honda hornet m liqui moly dala h 3k km running hua h ..bt muje Abhi 2k km ride pe ja raha hu so apka kya khayal h ki m new oil change kr jau ya Ispe he ride comple kr du??
Hey Akshay.. . Kuch questions hai.. 1. Oil Liqui Moly Street Race Fully Synthetic hai ya Street Semi synthetic. 2. Ride Kahan karne Wale ho.. konse state mein. 3. Ek stretch mein kitna kms bike chalegi. 4. Bike ka engine kitna kms chala hai.. Agar hot area mein ride nahi honi wali hai aur ek stretch mein 150-200 kms chalne ka plan hai aur street race Fully Synthetic oil hai toh Hornet ko chal jayega.. But at the same time.. agar ride ke maze lene hai (engine ko maze Dene hai toh) i will prefer replacing oil before long ride.
It's ok to go with one step up on the hot viscosity side. So if 30 is recommended we can go with 40 for the size of this engine. 50 is not recommended.
It's ok to go one step up for the hot viscosity, especially with the oncoming summer and weather in Rajasthan. And anyways I have been using 10W40 since my bike had 2k kms on the odo. Have covered the rationale behind this in couple of videos on the oil change.
@@RajkaGarage Rajasthan can really get hot, how is the Honda's Synthetic oil? Throttle. Is it a good option for hybrid use? Like city and weekend rides? What is the price compared to motul 300
Throttle is also a good oil and meets all the basic requirements of the engine in all conditions. It's just that few people like me have the kida of trying different things.. afterall Men will be Men.. 😁
Looking forward to the Rajasthan vlog. Very precise informative video once again, thanks Raj
Thanks buddy.. let's hope i shoot and more importantly post the video 😁

Raj Bhai I have started watching your videos now as I am also buying CB350 H'ness. They are interesting. Keep it up.

Hi does the warranty of engine voids if we use any other engine oil other than Honda service center one ?
Well detailed.
Thanks Pritesh 😊

In 6 months you need to tighten the chain. This happens to most owners

Can u post a video regarding injector cleaning.I also want to know the cylindrical box below the throttlebody and its service
Generally I won't recommend other channels in Bhai's channel but Dipayan Bose had exactly done that and extensively covered it in his video..

And whats your opinion on the new Castrol Power 1 ultimate.

Raj my friend.... One question. As you may remember, I live in the hills and the weather is quite cold. Should I be using a different oil?
For colder weather like yours the most ideal would going with a 5W30 oil. While I say that unless it's not snowing, even a 10W does the job. Just one recommendation, whenever you start the engine, let the engine idle for atleast 30-40 seconds before you gear on and move the bike.
@@RajkaGarage Thanks Raj 🙏
I do always allow idling time before bringing the bike into gear as a matter of habit.
Motul 7100 Great Oil
Motul 300V-Best Engine Oil
Liquimoly
Castrol Power-1 Ultimate.
Ok with the list..just thought the Castrol Power 1 is an overkill as per my experience.😅
Castrol 10w 30?
Castrol is highly overrated in lubes market.
@@RajkaGarage which is cheap and best synthetic oil for Highness for daily 2 to 3 km running only

Hi Raj. I don't understand Hindi at all. Can you just summarize to me what is the best engine oil for Honda Hness CB350
As per my current experience, Idemitsu IRG7 is the best oil with a great VFM factor. But difficult to source in the market.
@@RajkaGarage Oh thaank you brother
Nice Video, next time i am planning to change my cb350 engine oil by myself at my home, Do I need to change oil every 6 months even if bike has not run 4000-5000 kms?
No you can run on good quality oil for a year or 2 also . Synthetic oil has great shelf life so only change when they are used.
Where can we get this in pune ?
Wow. I thought IRG7 is as good as Throttle (The idemitsu made one, not the shit we get in Kolkata). just noticed Throttle is MA standard, where as IRG 5/7 are MA2. Will be eagerly waiting for your review.

When the review of idemitsu oil coming??
Ismeh 10w50 nhi daal skte
LIQUI MOLY or motul ?
Is it safe to use 10w40 ?
It's ok to go with one step up on the hot viscosity side. So if 30 is recommended we can go with 40 for the size of this engine. 50 is not recommended.
40 kyun? 💀
