oil

got all my stuff ready for a self service

irridium plugs oil filter etc

was wondering what's the best oil to buy me bikes a 97 cbr600fv

advice please

 

Any MOTORCYCLE 10w40 semi-synth should see you right mate.
Some peeps put car 10w40 in don't do it!
Putoline, Castrol, Motul ect, I use the Rock oil Guardian 10w40 Semi synth if it helps

 

cheers m8 it helps lol :cheers:

 

lus:

Most bikes, like your CBR 600, have a multi plate wet clutch, which needs the engine oil to work. Car oil's not designed for this type of use!

 

thanks for the info m8 something else i didnt know :thumbsup: :cheers:

 

The car oils contain friction modifiers which would contaminate your clutch plates making them slip. Not only that they aint designed for motorcycle use.
Next oil change I am going to try the Castrol power 1 semi-synth, Honda recomend Castrol oil and I believe the blend is 70% synthetic 30% mineral.
Take a look at Flossie, the Castrol rider

I use the castrol stuff for my 1999 cbr600, not had any trouble yet.
