There is so many on the market does anyone swear by a brand
Motul seems to be a lot cheaper than the other,was thinking of going for the silkoline comp 4.
DO you swear by a brand???

I use Rock Oil (Sigma) semi, works like a treat on a 2001 bike.

He rides an old one and some of them have clutch slip issues with fully synth.

Newer Falcos seem to be fine with fully synth though.

Sorry - can't answer your question - not changed my own oil yet. First 2 years it was dealer serviced to ensure no warranty worries - last year it was done by a dealer as I was short of time and it was a valve check service.
I'm only a few hundred miles off my next service - which I'll do myself .... so I have the same question !

I absolutely agree. Available from wemoto.

Motul for the last two years of home servicing. No problems on my 2004, well.. no oil-related problems anyway

I have a long-standing preference for Motul oils. Mine will bathe in semi-synthetic 5100V 15-50W from now on. As found here:

I presume its the motul 5100 and not the 300

Yes - the 300V is pretty much WSBK spec. I know that John Hackett used to use that in his BSB bikes, anyway.

300V is way OTT for our bikes.

Aladinsaneuk · #14 Post by **Aladinsaneuk** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 3:47 pm
