preferred 4 stroke motorcycle oil?
theres tons of topics on different oils mainly which I see looking like amsoil synthetic is the best brand. I'm running a 92 katana with a '01 Bandit GSF600S engine.
Also if you don't mind which oil you'd recommend for my bike, and why. thanks |

I'm assuming you said to buy motorcycle specific oil, and are you telling me that motorcycle oil is the same thing as diesel oil? i'm sorry I don't understand what you're getting at.
these are some of the links i've been looking at below, amsoil being $12 a qt seems way to expensive, and some other people just use motorcycle specific oil, I think synthetic seems to be the best option but a bit pricier... I'm unsure if its worth it to spend the extra money or if these advertisements are a bunch of crap. with amsoil for instance "specially formulated to excel in all areas unique to motorcycles, including high engine RPM, wet-clutch lubrication" my engine is right under 10k miles currently... just not sure what the proper decision is to make http://www.riderforums.com/general-b...l-opinion.html http://www.cycleworld.com/2014/07/04...-or-petroleum/ http://lucasoil.com/products/motorcy...otorcycle-oils http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produc...il/motorcycle/ Last edited by JohnnyPossum; 04-08-2015 at 06:51 PM.. |

I've been using that oil too for the last 40K miles, no issues. About 13 changes so far. (I do every 3k)
