That is a good one!! I just usually go right to the top of the tire spec, any good recommendations for a tire gauge that is really accurate. Sorry about getting off topic... couldn't resist! :lol:

Well, this is a topic that will probably never be agreed upon by everyone. :grin:
I am not a seasoned rider, but I do believe in synthetic oil superiority from my automotive knowledge, and I am trying to learn as much about bike use as I can.
I heard that the old Mobil 1 "Red Cap" was the oil to use in a bike. However, Mobil changed the oil and cap color (now Gold Cap). My seasoned bike friends are not willing to try it in their bikes, so I decided to take one for the team. I have 200 miles since my oil change using Mobil 1 Gold Cap and no noticeable difference.
I am neither endorsing or discouraging the usage of this oil.....I am simply letting everyone know what I am trying and the results I have found so far. :motorsmile:

The last time I changed my oil, I went to Valvoline MC oil from the Suzuki brand and I have noticed some seriously clunky shifting. I never cared a bit about what oil I used. I always figured it didn't matter if I changed it regularly. Well, it does matter I guess. Back to Suzuki oil for me. Just my $.02.

A couple of years ago one of the local Aussie bike mags dedicated a few pages to the question of Which Oil Should I Use. They went throught the pros and cons of Synthetic, Mineral, Semi Synthetic, Car specific oil, Bike specific oil.
At the end of the article the writer said
--- Quote ---Bike specific oil is highly recommended, but, regardless of which oil you use, fresh is best.
