Northman Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 :fuckofftroll: Seriously, look around. There have been many heated arguments in this forum over which oils to use, and when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Change to Amsoil 10w/40 as soon as possible. You can find a local dlr off their web-site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 OK, your mileage is fine for synthetic. The type of oil you use is whatever kind you like. Don't start another Oil War. Personally, I use Mobil 1 15-50 non energy conserving. You can use just about any oil, results may or may not vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVLXX Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Don't believe those guys..... go get you some Valvoline Max Life. You can't trust those guys.... especially that "Northguy", he doesn't know shit about motorcycles. :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaXX Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Fuck that, you have to use Castrol Syntec, 5w50... I use it in my truck, track bike, lawn mower, 4 wheeler, snow blower, popcorn, my other truck, my other motorcycle, for anal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVLXX Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 No... No... No... Penzoil 15/40! Or - KY liquid, it really smooths out the shifting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobicus Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 KY liquid, it really smooths out the shifting! Shifting or shitting? I personally use bacon grease. This way, whoever's following me gets so hungry from the smell of cooking bacon they offer to buy me lunch if we can stop and eat. :wink: Just remember, when you're changing your oil to REALLY tighten down the drain bolt. Cracked pans ROCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrated Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I switched to Honda HP4 on my 1000RR this last oil change and the bike only had 900 miles on it. I'll go back to the Mobil 1 15w-50 when I do the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the real reason you use bacon grease is so that it smells like a Harley Hog. :wink: :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rod79man Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Has anyone had any problems with using synthetic oil? I am an Amsoil dealer and wanted to switch my bird, but am reluctant do to clutch slippage that I've heard about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday is when you should do it. Brand and weight are your call. Thinner weight it better. Dennis........no problems here....that includes many dragstrip runs and two-up duty hauling my lead ass around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Has anyone had any problems with using synthetic oil? I am an Amsoil dealer and wanted to switch my bird, but am reluctant do to clutch slippage that I've heard about. I've used synthetic in a number of different bikes w/o problem. I just put in the Amsoil to try it out but my Stator died so I can't give an opinion yet. Wait a minute, I put the Amsoil in and then my stator died!!!!!! God damn you Dennis, you owe me 400.00!!!!!!!!!! PAY UP COCKSUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikertrash Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 The Choice for Oil is.... I am new here but it seems like the issue of oil has been a hot one. What I don't understand is I haven't found a post yet that actually picks the right oil. Red Line 10w-40 is the correct choice (let the flaming begin). There is NO clutch slip. That's a myth. No, I don't work for Red Line. I just use it in everything I've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rideonXX Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Dennis---as an Amsoil Dealer you owe it to yourself and your customers to invest in a call to the Amsoil engineering/tech folks and find out why they claim it to be better than others. I did---and what they told me made a whole lot of sense---and I have used their products for years-----no clutch slip---but do give them a call---it's worth it.
