**DONOTDELETE** 03-28-2001, 12:12 PM Could anyone tell me which oil to use in my 88 1100j, I've put a semi-synth in there now but I dunno if thats ok . . . Or should I just use a standard 10/40 oil ? ------------------ imported_jeff 03-28-2001, 12:22 PM semi-synth is fine, full synth (certain ones, at least) would be even better. some aftermarket clutches and certain synths don't agree with each other. ------------------ http://149.123.110.32/misc/bike_small.jpg doug 03-28-2001, 12:32 PM I have an 86 750 that I use Mobil 1 15-50 car oil synthetic and have no problems if search oil on google there is some interesting articles. It seems to shoot down a lot of myths re certian oils and wet clutchs the 15-50 is okay for me because I do not ride in cold weather and the synth 15 flows fairly well untill it gets very cold I would not use non synth that is that heavy ------------------ 86 totally non stock Umf 03-28-2001, 09:21 PM I use Kendall MC oil 20-50. ------------------ We are men of action, lies do not become us.
