|  Oil Recommendation Question
I’m interested in anyone’s input regarding fully synthetic motor oil, specifically Mobil 1 for motorcycle applications. Mobile 1 makes fully synthetic motorcycle oil, which is “apparently” designed with a wet clutch in mind, from what I get from reading the qt. I was told by the dealer the oil changing regimen should go as follows; for the first 5k miles stick to the conventional stuff “Suzuki’s 10W-40, then you can change to a synthetic blend, I switched to Golden Spectro Synthetic/petroleum blend at 5k miles. The dealer doesn’t recommend fully synthetic oil due to the fact it may cause the clutch to slip. Now I’ve been using Mobil 1 products for years, and love them. I want to run the full synthetic stuff in my GSXR but I’m not sure, even though from what I’m getting by reading the qt, it seems like a safe bet. Any suggestions?  |
