An oil (experience) thread

[Cormanus]

Just to be clear, I ran the Suzuki Ecstar until 2000 miles, not 200 as the post sates.

DaSwami, I've edited the post for you. Did I get the right 200?

By the way, I've been running Honda GN4 10W30 for a while as the dealers had a special pack with 4 litres of oil and a filter for a reasonable price. I used to think that when it got really hot, it made the gear changes feel less smooth. Last change I used a Penrite (Australian brand) 10W40 semi synthetic and, on a recent trip, the bike felt smoother.

But I'd better look at the bobstheoilguy.
