Re: the best engine oil to use
I use 10/40 fully synthetic castrol on my road bike as iv never had a problem with the clutch slipping but with the race bike decided not to risk it as I dont know what its on atm so 10/40 part synthetic castrol
I change oil and filter at least every 6 months. or before every race meeting
