Re: Oil filters

Petronas Syntium 800 eu 5w 40 semi-synthetic, i think is a car oil.

Car oils have different additives to bike oils. Car oils have friction modifiers in them to give good fuel economy. Bike oils have additives developed for wet clutches and and gear train lubrication

A motorcycle oil has to look after the gearbox and clutch and generally speaking bike engines rev higher.

Re: Suspension Experiences?

I had a blade front end (not upside down) and a Nitron. I use to crap myself every time going over the ripples on the exit of Charlies 2 at Cadwell with standard storm suspension. Completely dialed out with the mods even though the front was still a bit soft. I think the Nitron may even be the AMCQ ...
