As the title says, put your oil questions here and we'll be happy to help.

The Year, model, engine and style of driving (road/track) is important so give as much information as possible so that we can give you an accurate answer.

If your bike is standard then you will find some guidence and service packs on our website here

Ok, 10w-40 is fine, for track use we recomend a synthetic so any good one will do.

My favorites are the ester based synthetics from Motul and Silkolene but the Castrol R4 Superbike is also worth a look.

Cheers

Guy.

Its ok, not a true synthetic though. Its a hydrocracked mineral oil.

Hmm, maybe a thicker oil perhaps a 10w-50 synthetic.

What oil have you been using?

If your not doing much with it then a decent 10w-40 semi is idea.

Cheers
