|  Oil topic ( I know, again!, sorry)
Ok, someones gotta throw me a bone here. I already browsed the mechanics corner, and the links didn't help too much. I am gonna swap out my 10W-40 stock oil (changed at 600, 2800) by the dealer, with synthetic. (its at 7500 now and screaming help). I just have no time to have anyone do it, so I am going to go out and get a filter and some synthetic myself. I imagine just draining it, and adding the synthetic with a new filter is good enough. But I need some real cut and dry advice on oil brands and oil weights. I ride in northern california, it gets down to about 50 degrees F, and as high as 100. I only start riding the bike when it has warmed to about 125 F, and it quickly rises to 166F (on cold days and 177 on warmer days) If I sit idling, it will rise to 225 F. I don't bring it to the track, but certainly it gets its fair share of 11,000 rpm action (once or twice a day). Someone just give me a couple good suggestions and I will go see what I can find. Thanx so much in advance.  |
