Bike specific oils

Postby mfzx6r » Fri Nov 17, 2006 1:45 pm

Does anyone use normal/car oil in their bike ?

The reason I ask is I have some Castrol R 10w60 100% syn oil and was wondering if I should sue it on the dirtbike ?

They can be bad in things with wet clutches ie the friction modifiers or whatever the hell they whack in 'em make them slip.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

No
Not unless you like clutch slippage.
