cool... assuming you got the latter oil, how much did it cost for the 4 litres, and once you change it around, tell me how it goes. I just used Motul 5100 but im interested in how others go.

I used the silkolene in my 9 and it was fine. Well priced too at about $45.
I currently use the Castrol GPS in my 10 which is even better priced at about $36 when supercheap have a sale...

You will not go far wrong with Silkolene oils

I really don't think there are any bad oils around these days, except for maybe the really el cheapo supermarket stuff. Keeping the oil changes up with a specific motorcycle oil I reckon is more important than the oil itself.

I've always used Motul 5100 but at the moment I've got the Q8 stuff in though.

The only oils that are *kinda* shitty are the ones they recycle and re-sell.

Rest are pretty much the same.

Castrol GPS for me btw

Good Skills Duane.

Master Yoda been using the Fukz Silkalenenie in all 3 scoots for the last 2 years. No dramas at all except when i tossed the fully synth in Tiggr & noticed an increase in false neutrals (3rd - 4th when poking around) went back to semi synth problem solvered.

Supplier here sells it at $35/4l from the "tyre cave" for the comp 4 semisynth.
