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

Fleetwood, any word on your bike? Did the dealership use 40 weight oil? Can't wait to hear your findings.

I have not dropped the 40 weight out of my bike yet, family duties have kept me from doing it. I will do it trust me, that 40 weight is coming out of my bike. My bike is one of those that gets noisy and cranky with the 40 weight.

But like I said in the other thread about the service manual calling for 10w30, that our bikes may be the same model but they are all different and some do not like the 40 weight while others bikes can handle it. It is each owners choice of what we run in our bikes since the last time I checked my bike doesn't have an A/I to make decisions. If you run 40 weight, great your bike may be better than those that can't.

Keep the wheels down!

Just received some news, my bike is ready to come home! Come to find out that the balancer chain was bad? Honda told my dealer to replace it and that stopped the noise. Egar to pick it up and run it for a bit. My service guy also said he put 10W-30 from the get go so idk about the oil situation?
