**87gsxrnut** · 06-09-2005, 08:23 PM

I recommend oil that doesn't leak out of the bike and is changed on a regular basis.

New is the way to go.

Canola is better for your arteries.

Olive - it's more exotic and it rubs nicely into the skin.

Well personally I use Motul 5100 in my SV but the guys and gals on SVRider.Com seem to think Rotella is some wonder oil that makes every SV shift easier.

Nutella is good on toast.

**Trapper** · 06-10-2005, 06:19 AM

What is that Nutella stuff anyway? Is it some snobby peanut butter? And did you invent it Nut? Not saying that you're snobby, I was just playing on your name. Hilarious , eh?

Nutella - imagine peanut butter, but made with hazel nuts and chocolate instead of peanuts.

If you speak italian, take a look at http://www.nutella.it/

That's funny (in an off-color sort of way).

LayinLo · 06-10-2005, 10:55 AM

You can use this kinda oil, but make sure you reapply after you get outta the water....

viper94bite · 06-10-2005, 02:19 PM

personally I like Crisco.

themeatmanlandry · 06-10-2005, 02:30 PM

I'm a retard. I use the 'Zuki oil everytime. When this case runs out, I'm going ot look into Mobil 1, or Rotella.

Gixxerman · 06-10-2005, 02:47 PM

I've read on the TLplanet forums that full syntethic is no good for TL bikes at least. Go for semi if you value good gearshifts

1qwikgixxer · 06-10-2005, 03:49 PM

nutella is great stuff. hard to find around here sometimes though.

to bad it doesnt come in sythetic

Brian Swan · 06-10-2005, 06:20 PM

Nutella: Cholate Spread meets Hazelnut Paste plus sugar and spice

advr4 · 06-10-2005, 09:57 PM

nutella is the best!

as for oil for the bike, i only use royal purple max-cycle full synthetic.
