Will generally cause clutch slip!dudehog wrote:Sorry to bring up an old topic. I use silkolene 10/40 in mine. I can't remember whether it's fully or semi synthetic. Why can't fully synthetic be used?

Re: What Oil?
Fully gives clutch slip, some disagree with this but more than enough people have tried it and reported slipping under hard acceleration from take offdudehog wrote:Sorry to bring up an old topic.

Been a sh1t summer mate hardly been out on it so lost interest after the spring, did Donington on it which was mega but didn't really get many rides in after, had some suspension trouble with wrong oil put in after fork seals being done which wombles the handling up completely, went out with some fairly fast boys after I got my bike back and it was genuinely terrifying like riding a bucking broncobronco.
Was a while after that that I was able to get the suspension set up but it was still set up on that wrong weight of oil so start of next year Gona take it to Kais-suspension and get it all done right, last set of tires I almost rode it off the sidewalls this set since its had the seals done and wrong oil I've got like a wombles inch of chicken strip.
Hope all is well your end bud
