I need to mix up some 12.5W oil, can this simply be done by mixing 1/2 part 10W and 1/2 part 15W?

Sounds too simple to be true? Thanks all

ummm i doubt it...

Spoke to a buddy of mine off SV650 he says this is how I make 12.5W so thats cool with me

What you need 12.5W for mate? Seems a bit odd. Is that whats in the manual?

Nope not whats in the manual but the manuals designed for mr average joe. Besides I've got some ohlins linear springs going in and people around my weight class have used either 10W or 15W so im gonna hit the middle road with 12.5W.

If you use 10w you won't get as much height flying as 15w gives you

Erm, I thought it would have been designed for Miss Average Julia, being a SV650

Just eat more pies and use a 20W

Saddle bags don't look good on an SV

but they make them go faster

Did trhe same when I had my Sv, just make sure you use the same type of oil, ie mineral or synthetic. I ound 12.5w to be the best compromise for the road.

had your sv ... what u riding now?
