Motor Oil
This is probably the wrong forum for this but what is everyone running for oil in there bike. I am tempted to use Mobile1 in mine. I have been running it in my cars for years and I am very impressed. I read one post about someone using amsoil, that is also a synthetic. If anyone is running this have you noticed any differeneces or had any problems using sythetics in your bike? :?Tags: None

Alot of what you hear bad about synthetics are myths!! Its mainly just the old people not accepting something new and better! sorry old people
I have used Mobil one in everything with a motor and have noticed better running more efficient machines. I have used pretty much every oil and I will have to say Mobil 1 is simple the best.
Go to mobil 1 click on the why synthetics tab it will clear up some Q's

Oh yeah by the way Mobil 1 does make synthetic oil specially for motorcycles.
They even make one that is perfect for gs motorcycles
10W-40 air cooled formulated oil
Its called MX4T. Only deal is that its pretty high dollars stuff. I just bought about 3 qts. Tax and all it was about 25 bucks!

Has anyone tried Rotella T Synthetic? I've used the Rotella dino oil for a while in my truck (better mileage than with Mobil1) and when I run out of this drum i'll be getting a synthetic bucket to try out.
The guy I bought my bike from said not to use synthetic in the bike because it made the tranny shift wierd. Too much slip + wet clutch system = bad things?

I've got castrol 5-50 in my 850...I imagined it was causing some clutch slipping at first...but, I haven't noticed any clutch slipping for a coupla' months and I like to run away from the stop lights as quick as I can...a good argument for a relatively slow bike.

I use whatever name brand 10-40 is the cheapest. Most of the time they are the same price, though sometimes all you can find is that stupid 5-30 with "friction modifiers" in it. Castrol GTX 10-40 is what resides in the crankcase of my bike as of now. 8)Kevin
