#17284 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 I've found a good oil! 5 Years, 3 Months ago   Not looking to start a debate, just thought I'd put this out to the RSC community. I've been doing alot of reading , running back and forth to auto and bike shops the last couple of weeks, and here's what I came up with , with the help of my local Honda shop (where I bought all my bikes till this one, my parts guys are VERY helpful). This shop sells honda,suzuki,and triumph, and carry alot of brand specific oils for the different models (gn4=honda, mobil 1= triumph,etc..). Here's the point. Suzuki has a full synthetic oil in 10/40 for just 7.00 a quart. Now , that may not be the best price that is available for synthetic, but at that price, and it's designed for bike use (MA) ,I'm pretty stoked. Once again, not a debate, just a public announcement!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #17294 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:I've found a good oil! 5 Years, 3 Months ago   ......so you think thats gonna stop this thread from debating oil hmmmmmmmmm we shall see...I wont start it.........................but if I did Id say Mobil 1V Twin synthetic .....Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #17337 JJsNet (User) Lookin for that next Road Pass Senior Boarder Posts: 357 Re:I've found a good oil! 5 Years, 3 Months ago   yep Mobil 1 V Twin...worth the dollar more :0   Logged     http://www.hellrisercustoms.com/jjsnet   The administrator has disabled public write access. #17357 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby?

Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:I've found a good oil! 5 Years, 3 Months ago   10-4 , no disagreeing there. But the suzuki oil is also made for v-twins (and their other motors as well) and it's only 8 minutes from the house. Too, I went to napa, advanced, and a couple other bike shops, and never saw (yes I asked) mobil1 v-twin synthetic. Auto parts stores had valvoline dino bike oil, but that was it. But once again, for a full syn, the $ is right , and readily available.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #17367 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:I've found a good oil! 5 Years, 3 Months ago   I will run it 5000 miles drain it look at it and go from there .......hey Ricker ever notice they dont tell you in print on the oil container how often to change it .... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm kinda makes me wonder.......Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #17368 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:I've found a good oil! 5 Years, 3 Months ago   BB Sounds like a good oil to me I would use it as long as it has no addatives to mess up your wet clutch...API Jaso- Ma tells you its clutch friendly......Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #17370 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:I've found a good oil! 5 Years, 3 Months ago   I hate doing clutch jobs (done about 7 m/c, 1000cc goldwings will make you go mad), so in short, I agree.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
