Re: any one know any thing about bikes?

Mobil one for bikes is junk. It's pretty much the same thing they make for cars, just with a different sticker on the bottle... It'll destroy the clutch friction discs way faster than if you use a real motorcycle specific oil.

I get guys coming in to work asking why their clutch is slipping with 8K miles on it. First thing I ask is what kind of oil they're running. 9 times out of 10 it's synthetic car oil. Then when I tell them car oil is no bueno on a wet clutch they look at me like I'm the idiot. Most guys listen and switch back to a bike specific oil, but there are a few that I just end up telling them to come back and see me when they burn their discs up.

well usually i do listen to people and the auto parts guy at arnold motor supply said he runs kendal oil in his bike and does good so im probably just going to run that
