[oil me up!!!]

what does it say in the owners handbook re:oil? full synth is chemically made and semi's are cracked mineral oils and are worlds apart and are specific for a particular type of engine. Because of this, early synth oils broke their polymer chains by mixing and caused blockages as the oil changed, not so sure nowerdays.

Even synths differ in their make-up and you have to check contents listing. true synths are group 4 oils (fuchs etc) I only know this when I went for oil for my Renault and it was a minefield. I settled on 5w 40 Fuchs supersynth SL for the car.

please don't use sick 50 (not a spelling mistake)

"jeez mate i bet u bath in the stuff"i work with turbochargers with tollerances in there microns but you know your onions(or oil) or did you just read what it said on the label, cheers

[TDM 850 Advice]

yo lewis had me first tdm 850 at the tender age of 21, its a big bike allwreet -get it moveing an it melts between your legs. put me in hospital for 3 months though an had to learn how to walk again so treat them 70-80 bhp with respect coz every man an his dog is out to knock you off, its roads we are talking about here not field rideing on a stollen scrambler. As a new rider you are;, im dissapointed more people havent offerd advice to you , but thats the sad state of bikeing this day n age (try getting a nod off a supperbike rider when you ride a giant traily) good luck boyo
