just wondering what brand of oil people prefer and use and if regular or synthetic or a bleand?

You'll find this question has been asked quite a few times before. In the end you'll find it's personal preference, period (whether it's brand or type... or weight for that matter)

Here's a few threads that I found searching though if you're still interested...

I have read reviews that say that stuff is the shit!! Do you use it in your 750?? If so for how long??

i use the motorex power synt 4t 10w-60 :biggrin:punk

royal purple max-cycle full synthetic 10w-40

i use the motorex power synt 4t 10w-60 :biggrin:punk


Are you serious? If so, why are you running a 60 weight?

Regular conventional Spectro 4 10w-40 for both bikes, not planning to switch to synthetic, no problems using it at all.

Personally, I found in the past that J-force’s K-lube is the best. It really cuts down the losses due to internal friction and there’s not a lot of windage loss. Be careful you don't blow your wad using it.

I just eat Taco Bell and spray crap in my oil fill.

I started using hte Palo-Force 4.1 and on the dyno saw 1.2hp gain most likely due to less friction.

What brand oil though isn't as important as making sure you change it and the filter regularly. At least imo.

3 in 1 household oil.

Do you carry the Palo-Force? I tried it once but it made my exhaust smell like a wet fart.

Castrol GPS power 15-50 semisynthetic best oil till now that i've tried in my Gixxer.:punk

How long have you been running the Rotella Synthetic? Based on a lot of positive testimony on the internet (and no negative I could find) I've been running it in both my bikes for the past 3 years. It seems to work fine but I have not had an oil analysis done yet to see how it's holding up. One of the main reasons I use it is that I don't accumulate a lot of miles per year on my bikes and so the oil stays in there for awhile. The TBI (total base index) is very high which means it buffers acids quite well. I change at 3000 miles.

yeah i wanted a little thicker oil for the tranny, I have always run thicker oil in my bikes and truck and nice to know that the oil isn`t like water when it gets hot:biggrin , and from what i read on motorex website it the same stuff yoshimura suzuki uses, and i ride my bike 6 days a week just the little extra protection:burnout

Regular Suzuki motorbike oil as per the owners manual.

They do make a synthetic, it is just a bit more expensive.

are you sure about this??? i read and know that nascars run like 10w 30 and to qualify they run like straight 10 because of less drag. i could not see a racing sport bikr run 60 weight oil. even formula one cars i heard run at the highest 20w 50 but some go with 0w 40. and those cars run up to like 21,000rpm's

amsoil 10-40

Mobil 1 15W-50.

damn you beat me to it:cheers
... as long as it's not energy conserving car oil

Golden spectro semi synth.. good stuff

this oil change im going to try the REPSOL semi synth

amsoil

I use Belray 5W-60 fully synthetic race oil.
It's a great oil for running in hot temperatures (track conditions), or where the clutch is put on alot og pressure.

People who always have clutch slip peoblems should try it.

I used to like and use Castrol alot, I just use Belray now.

another vote for Rotella. 5 years of racing, 3 racebikes with Supersport motors and many of us won't run anything else.

I do run the Synthetic, but the Dino is very goo too and SUPER cheap.

valvoline synpower full synthetic 10w30. no slipping here. great oil and $19 for 5 quarts.

j

rotella t syn..........who uses a 60 wt..thats fucking insane..i run 10w 40 in my 351w w gt 40 heads in my ski boat that has no reduction..fuckin crazy if you ask me..oh well not my shit
