I don't know, maybe Honda guyz will be able to throw light on the matter. On my P200 I've started using MOTUL 5100 4T which is semi-synthetic and am liking it very much.

Motul 5100 4T isn't fully synthetic, it is semi-synthetic engine oil. Motul 300v is the fully synthetic one.

Pesonal recommendation from a CBZX owner, unless u are highly dissatisfied with the current mineral oil, dont switch!

Well as told earlier been putting castrol active 20w40 well this time one more thing I will be putting with the engine oil.
It is a 3m companies product known as Engine oil plus.
it sys
3m Engine oil Plus offers superior performance to the eninge smooth functioning. It protects critical engine parts against wear & tear.
* it hels boost engine performance
* helps keep the engine parts clean
* vompatible with all types of motor oil

and the second thing which I am also going to put is with the petrol
it is petrol tank additive
3m Petrol Fuel tank additive is a detergent formula for all petrol engines improves ignition quality. Restores and maintains optimum fuel economy.

see there website
3M India: 3M Car Care Pro

here is the bike detail

It is the same thing as Bardahl engine oil additive for motorcycles | Yogesh Sarkar's Blog, and here is what 3M has to say about it:
  1. Reduces friction of critical engine parts for petrol & diesel engines
  2. Helps improve engine power and performance
  3. Helps stop oil foaming for better lubrication
  4. Protects against oil film break down
  5. Reduces build up of harmful deposits
  6. Compatible with all types of motor oil
  7. Helps improve life of engine components
The first point makes it useless for use in majority of the motorcycles since they have wet clutch i.e. clutch plates are immersed in engine oil and any thing which reduces friction, would eventually result in clutch slippage.

I paid 700 for the Can.. Won’t be able to post the pics as I left the Can at Zen TVS ( TVS SC). It’s the same that’s in the weblink.

In Bangalore I picked it up in cherry agencies, the main distributor. however i have seen it in many places (in JC Road )..
