What oil do you use?

Post by mactat2 » Tue Jul 19, 2011 9:31 am

Hi Guys,
While i'm waiting for the bodywork to come back from the painters for the second time i thought i'd do an oil change as the oil thats in has been standing a while. Any recommendations as whats best to use? is semi sythetic ok? i know fully syth can cause clutch slip on some bikes.
cheers

Fully synthetic oil does not cause clutches to slip.

Oils with friction modifiers do.
