    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil and filter discussion

Thanks Joe. I knew Rotella T was a good oil. I love it and am sticking with it.

If and when I get a new(er) bike I think I'll switch to the Rotella synthetic.

Good Read.

I'm going to try the Rotella T Synthetic in the FJR. I notice a big difference between dino and synthetic in the FJR. I'm going to try the Rotella dino in the GS next oil change. I don't notice much difference between oils on the GS.

I dunno. Oil now is MUCH better than it was when our bikes were produced. Good 'ol Castrol GTX is turbo approved, so it can't be THAT bad!
 
Hmmmm :-) On my 1150, I have used Castrol GTX20w50 and Mobil 1 15w50. There is a huge difference. I have always used the GTX and its a great oil, but the 1150 prefers the Mobil 1. Shifts a lot slicker and runs about 10-15 degrees cooler with the Mobil.

Hmmm.......synthetic oils must act differently in areas of stifling humidity!' :lol:

I think its the steady diet of Pina Colada stops that makes them more agreeable in Florida. Pinapple fields are few and far between in Chicago. :-)
