Pretty much..... The link isn't really old news ... Just that most people fuck up with the notion that W-O-T (Wide Open Throttle) through the rev range is not actually the same as on the limiter in say the 1st three gears as such!!!

Errrr yeah Motul 5100 or Fuches(Silkolene)Semi syn / Castrol 4T semi syn is grouse oil IMO - change every 5 thou .......

5100 in my rf, and some 30 weight small engine stuff for the gsx250 (hey the manual says it is ok for small motorbikes, and its cheaper, so why not?)
