Always Motul.......unless there's no availability in Spain.......which happened last time. If I order outside the country the international postage nearly doubles the price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fallsalot Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I got 4 bikes that use the same oil so i buy in bulk and save a fortune, i use this one its cheep because they don't sponsor a racing team to promote it and it comes direct so no middle man to pay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXOL-PREMIUM-QUALITY-SEMI-SYNTHETIC-10W40-MOTORCYCLE-OIL-4T-20LTR-JASO-MA2-SPEC/291449598888?epid=19034027897&hash=item43dbbff3a8:g:M1MAAOSw3fZaAcNE 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I work in a Ducati shop, we have lots of oil. If it's good enough for those highly strung darlings then it's good enough for my bikes 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I would say 10w40 is a much better option. But it'll blow up anyway so WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best advice is to go with the owners manual. This KLR is fucked with cam chains and balancer chains out the ass...its freaking chaos after you remove the flywheel, and unbolt the inner case just to replace the balancer chain's idler lever and spring with a custom CNC balancer idler lever and torsion spring like i did the night Trump got elected. Best day of my life. Oil is oil, syn is the best....dont use these crazty friction modifier oils required by govt's so cars get 1 mpg more while they drop dead faster in motorcyles.

Sir Fallsalot Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I've just been reading a post on the CRF page some guy winging about changing the oil. This is his post I tried to do my 1st Oil and Filter change WTF.. The manual is useless! I over filled the oil based on 4.1 litres and the drain plugs WTF !!! The bash plate needs holes for the Filter replacement and access to the drains. !!!! What a tool, put a bit less than what the manual says and then warm the bike up, check the oil and top up if necessary, obviously really difficult. The drain plugs holy shit there's two of them what the fuck do i do now and the bash plate how the fuck do i get at the filter and drain plugs with that in the way remove three bolts takes a minute to take off if your slow and of course this is all Honda's fault, got nothing to do with him being a useless twat I'm starting to think you meet the biggest twats on a Honda LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago he asked me if i thought he would be able to change the cam chain on his bike himself, i said you got no chance, he said why I've seen videos it doesn't look that difficult. My reply was because the week before when you topped up the 2 stroke oil on your brothers MTX125 you poured it in the coolant header tank and didn't know it was wrong until i pointed it out to you 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
