Well, at least it's no-longer censoring pet**** yet still letting ****sucker through. Everything is an equal-opportunity-offender.

bbtowns is correct. People should do their own basic maintenance on their bikes. It is getting so bad that everyone wants to be like Buz; all play and no work! I am swapping out the sprockets, chain and rear tire on the Bandit as we speak. Now if it will just quit f&cking snowing!
I wonder how often I'll need to lube the chain on my PC800?

:cool:

Without Documentation - it didn't happen. And THEN where would your Burger Barn Bragging-Rights be?

WTF, we haven't had an oil thread for awhile......

I use the 15/50w Mobil one Full Synthetic in the Snarley Davidson and Shell Rotella 15w40 Diesel oil in the Suzook. Being Diesel oil it doesn't have to meet the Energy Conserving criteria and is formulated for very high mile turbo diesel engines.

I figure if it's good enough for A'murica's Truckers it's good enough for my lil' ol' two-h-weeler by gar ....(sniff)..
I noticed that lately the 5w30 and 10w30 have TWO different formulaes in that silver Mobil 1 5-qt. jug - one formulation is lacking the "Energy Conserving" moniker in its little API-certification circle. It's also the $19 jug, VS. the $21 jug that DOES have "Energy Conserving" printed on it.

Look carefully when purchasing it for a wet-clutch bike.
