semisynth or mineral ?

Post by clb »

just noticed coming out of my friends house (with him behind me so wanted to try to show off a bit!) popped a small 'wheelie', thing is it properly popped up (probs only like 50cm lol), more than i have ever had when i was trying to in a carpark (when the bike was warm).

Seems like the colder oil is more grippy? using silkolene 10 40 semi synthetic atm. will mineral oil be better for attempting such things even when the motors warm? or is mineral oil no good for the engine?

probably more to do with having an audience than the oil in the engine.. which i cant see making a tangible difference to "wheeliability"

dont put mineral oil in it .. leave that for old cars.
