Dont you mean Procks

The type of oil will depend on your bike, and never fit a cheap filter!

The two ive seen have both run pretty crap, compared to how my standard runs, i always thought all flat sides ran lumpy?

Catch 22

Race Developed

THinking of off road bikes, i so want another motorcross

Yeah i like to lean over the tank

No probs mate, hope you understand my waffle. As for a filter maybe a gun would be better

My YZF750 has span adjsutment, would one of them fit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...7968968262&rd=1

Yep thats because there flatsides, if you want it to run nice and smooth you can swap with mine

Right heres my stab at it then! Cars compared to bikes demand long service intervals so the oil has to be designed for this. The oils therefore have friction-modifiers and other additives in to keep them working for a longer time If you use car oil in your bike, the friction-modifiers cause a problem because most motorbikes have a wet clutch. Car oil gets onto the clutch, the friction-modifiers get to work and you'll end up with a slipping clutch. Bike oil doesnt have friction-modifiers, so you dont get this problem. Im pretty sure but oils for wet clutches have an MA label on it. Another thing to consider, is that car oils are not designed for a gearbox. The meshing of the gears shears the oil which does not happen with a lovely smooth crank. Which causes car oil to foam, losing its lubrication. Motorbike temperature flucuates a lot quicker than a car. Larger mass of the car engine combined with the larger amount of fluids and a sealed engine bay mean the temp changes are less pronounced. The higher power output of a bike engine compard to size means higher temps with less fluids and metal to absorb the temp change, causes rapid change in temp during operation. Which means the oil needs a better temp tolerance to cope with this. Finally car oils tend to be very thin and will burn off and some may get past the rings and burn off. And on top of all this a motorbike revs 4 times higher than cars. This site gives good info regarding oils http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/i...eoil_bible.html

You sound as bad as Eddy already!

Yeah help save the bandwidth

Seems to be up and down like a yoyo !

Yep there is big differences even though they still lubricate, i read a very intersting article from mobil on this on the net, but cant remember where. I seem to remember the clutch was the main thing

At least he agrees he would need a faster bike

Southern comFART just kills me

Unfortuantly for me, when i was there i was at the wrong time of year for snow, ive always wanted to ski

If all else fails, im sure IPB can help

My dad got scammed on a laptop on ebay, but ebay will only cover upto a maximum of about £200 I think

Its only a few hours drive to NSW for a bit of snow boarding

Well the sun is just starting to come out here, and annoyingly i got up at 8am this morning to get the worlds biggest exhaust fitted to my bike so i can mot it. BUT the garage cant take my bike today! And i cant be arsed to take the exhaust back off, to put it on again, to take back off, to stick the scorpion one on. AND there is NO WAY in the world im riding my bike with a bazooka on the back unless purely to the mot station and back Then again might be tempted tomorrow when i hear the bikes going

Come on, even I know it snows in aus!

That sure looks like one mean mother...

Mozzy you would never get 20bhp from a chip in an escort, unless it was a turbo model.. that would have been the givaway. Found a pic of my old car will stick it up when i can be bothered.
