I was in Walmart this weekend and noticed that Mobil 1 now has a high mileage oil in a 10w-40 that is NOT energy conserving. I might have to give that a whirl.

I use motul 5100. Thats a semi-synthetic. The reason being is that you would use fully synthetic if you ride your bike a lot. But if you don't, i would suggest to go semi-synthetic. I however do use fully syntehetic on my car since it sees ALOT of mileage. If you don't put over 9k a year on the bike, i would say to go semi.. ]

And yes, you can change back and forth from synthetic to non synthetic at all but you would need to change your oil to semi-synthetic a couple of times before you go non-synthethic.

Point is, you can go from synthetic to semi-synthetic without any complications but cannot go from synthetic to non-synthetic directly.

MOTUL ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!

That blinker fluid is EXPENSIVE! They charged me $20 for it.

But I'm all set now, thanks

I run Shell Rotella T in my bike and two cars for few months now. Works great and yes its cheap $17 at Wall Mart

I've used a few different brands Motul, Elf, Amsoil, and Mobil 1. The only one mentioned that I haven't tried is the Shell.

My bikes been happy with the Mobil1 Red Cap which is now the Gold Cap 15winter 50 for the past 3-4 years...

Stay away from the high mileage Mobil oil

to each his own though....

Agree. I put over 35,000 miles on my bike running Mobil 1 15-50 and still have the stock clutch in my bike. Enough said right there about wet clutches and mobil 1 15-50. I think I busted that worry about if it will work with bikes lol.

I've recently switched to Repsol, no complaints, there- I got a free t-shirt when I bought a gallon.

Dont forget the piston return spring as well
