is 10w-40 oil the norm for bikes in general?
I've been offered a drum of silcolines finest for £55 and wondered if it was worth it so i have a stockpile of oil?
cheers

I have a good supplier for Mobil Racing 4T
They used to have a warehouse near to me but it closed however the guy I knew there was able to continue to supply me until he retired but now I've found a local distributer for it and so long as I buy it by the boxfull I get it at wholesale price.........
It's not cheap in the shops and if anyone in Northern Ireland wants some let me know.............

I would however point out again that my experience of Mobil Racing 4T tells me that it's a good idea to replace the clutch when you start using it.................

Why?

guessing because it will make older/worn clutches slip.

I had Castrol R4 superbike, and now its sucsuccessor, the Power1 Racing. Both are 10W-50 and fine to me, without any problem.

Possible update for 2009? Sorry if you dont like dragging old threads back up but thought it was better than starting a new one

Im going to be doing an oil change soon. Ive no reason to doubt Wemoto's ability to supply parts, but they recommend this part synth 'Rock Oil' oil, now ive never heard of this before so was dubious as to whether to use it.....then I read about people having to replace clutches when they do an oil change, would rather not do this if possible, so what oil (that you can get from Halfords / opie whatever) is recommended today? I have no idea whats in there atm, but the bike is used on the road only

How come its so cheap?? £5.44 or something like that per litre? I always thought with oil the more expensive it is per litre the better it is?
