Wipeout Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 What is a good oil to put in a motorcycle? It's for a CBR 400. I have read that fully synthetics & car oils are bad for bikes, so something like Silkolene Pro S would be a no go then. Anyone shed some light on this one. Thanks.

sinbad Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I belive semi-synthetic is the way to go for road bikes, fully synthetic is not thick enough for normal day to day riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 The correct oil is 10w-40. You have several to choose from in the Silkolene Range. Look here at the "Ride" and "Race" ranges then drop me an email for prices. http://www.opieoils.co.uk/lubricants.htm Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipeout Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Cheers for the info, i currently have Silkolene Pro S in the supra and it seems to be well recommended, so i might stick with there products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I wouldn't as it doesn't have the same addatives in it as I believe you may experience clutch slip if you don't use a motorcycle product. Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think he means stick with Silkolene as a brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
