Thanks Kevin.
I did find that one, but I thought I'd seen a thread giving specific oil for certain bikes and mileages eg 1150 Adventures over 9,000 miles - Castrol GPS recommended etc etc.
-Are you pulling my leg? Or do I not get what you mean?
One oil for 1150ccm and another one for 1200ccm?
One for more then 9000 miles?
Neh, I just can't believe that!
So what oil for an 1986 K100RS, passed 300 000 kilometres (186300 miles) in May 2006, then? In Norway, not as hot as Spain.
That's Knut's bike, and he put on any cheap oil for cars/engines.
The first oil are different, but not the rest.
And I wonder what the oilexperts say about my car running in the same oil all year up here; +25c - -25c. My car must be a miracle!
Old, real old engines are more sensitive, I believe, because of the metal they had many years ago. But I just can't believe modern engines are so sensitive.
But it's nice to see so much love for the engines here! Really!
Myselfes I do not put any type of oil on my F650 because of the wet clutch.
10-40 and 15-50 feels different if I leave the bike in gear and start it when it's cold the next day - it seems like there is glue in the oil! The clutch do not let me put it in neutral if I pick the wrong oil, but apart from that it does not matter if I use 10-40 or 15-50.
-Do you believe those who sell oil are having a good time when we (bikers who love our bikes) ask all kinds of questions and then buy the most expensive they have? Well, I do!
Last time I asked for oil for my car I said:
''-Do you have oil for my red Corolla? It's a three-doors type with new tires.''
He smiled, picked a bottle and said;
''Yes, this are made for red cars!''
...and we smiled...
Liv.
