Getting ready for the riding season greeted by bad sounds....

I heard a similar noise after my first oil change to Amsoil 10w40 full synthetic.

Dumped the oil after a quick run and went with Honda HP4S Full Synthetic 10W - 30. NOISE WAS GONE AND HAVE NEVER HEARD IT AGAIN.

My guess is that the oil passages on the CB are very small and specifically designed for 10W-30.

Thank you Jon, i have been trying to help and get this point across through out this thread. These dealer's use bulk oil because its cost effective. They more than likely use the same oil in there service department regardless of what bike there servicing.

Am I missing something here? Both you, CIP57, and Jon, from what I am reading, both did your own first oil change and not the dealership...

You yourself had noise issues after you did the oil change as well as Jon. So what am I missing? That doing your own oil change you will hear noises? And that the dealership uses bulk oil and that is a fact, and it is a fact that has nothing to do with changing your own oil?

Sorry been a long day at work, maybe I am just not reading the English language correctly...
