now .....WHAT do you know about Silkolene?

Only time he's interested in silkolene is when you're wearing it to bed !!

smitty in silks?? mate keep ur fantasies in ur own bloody head...i dont feel so well...

mate i couldnt give u a useful post, so in the true spirit of "mina-ism" i just posted dribble...

Have used Silkolene for years, usually semi synth as fully synth can affect a wet clutch. Never blown an engine, never killed a gearbox. Also swore by their products in the olde motoX days, from premix and gear oil to fork oil and chain lube (It was tops then too - although never smells as good as Casrtol R).

Hi all i just had a minor service and bmc filter installed on my 04 zx10r. I was recommended to use Q8 oil which was installed and the bike runs quiter and runs alot smoother.

Have used the Silkolene semi synth for a couple of years. cost me $45 for the last bottle i put in the gpx, but this new bottle for the rf cost me $59, which i told the shop i was very surprised about such a price hike. *mental note, buy oil elsewhere, despite them being the "local" at 5 mins drive from my door*.

Engine seems a bit quieter and smoother when i use the Silkolene, seems to last a fair while before starting to go a bit "off" as well, i went comfortably with 6-8k between changes on the GPX.

It Just went up Smitty, so all the retailers will be adjusting prices soon as stocks are renewed.

I bought a bottle of Motul 7100 for the 9 yesterday. it was horribly expensive at $55 a bottle. But I always prefer a better quality oil, as sometimes I may not change my oil for 8-10k depending on what I am doing, and a better quality oil, usually hangs in there a little longer. With NEO oil, i could change it every 12-15K without any detrimental effects. Not that I did it often, usually 10k is the longest interval I would go in an emergency. With the Motul 7100 however, it's being dropped at 5K intervals.

Prooven in every bike I have used you can not go wrong with Motul 5100
...

The best part I can supply it to you for $35 per 4L bottle RRP $55 which is just above cost..
