Are they metric or imperial hammers?

All my hammers are centre handed helix style.

I've been advised to run fully synthetic 5w50 in the turbo 14 ,part to do with facet scavenge pump .
Bought supermoly 5w50 atv,not cheap so we will see how it goes.
It's rated for wet clutches also.

Good luck with the stem seals, they seem to fail on 14s run on fully synth. Takes a while mind so unless you ride the turbot like a normal bike you might never have an issue.

Hi Hooli
Head was gas flowed ,seats recut ,new stem seals and reprofiled cams at 12500 miles now on 14500.
Where I am it's just going to be ridden like a power cruiser ,it's a straightliner really .
I just like the fact its has crazy if you want.
Turbo build by Mjrevtech ,build pics on their fb.
Cheers for reply bro.

I am of the opinion that on this motorcycle the price of oil should not be looked at twice nor the fact that at only 6500rpm it has already given almost everything,

I prefer an oil that at any time I have the security of being leftover without considering if I am wasting part of the money on it.

100% synthetic redline - amsoil - ravenol and in this order attending to a base oil with a higher % of ester and the rest PAO base and in any case with a splendid package of additives

I think.

Oh Dear....
Now you've done it..
You've opened the oil debate can of worms !  

[burudi]

Wow, I wasn't aware that I was opening Pandora's box.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Uh-oh, he's gone and done it, next thing he'll be talking about which tyres are best...

[grog]

Or Brake Pads??

... or hammers....   

[Tony Nitrous]

... and considering I neither like or use adjustable spanners I'm not sure why I have these either... 

[grog]

A good collection Tony, you have more hammers than me, shifters, a few less but i out trump you, have a huge one, its either 24 or 36 inch, cant remember. Totally useless, no idea where i got it.

... or hammers....   

I think 7th from the left is imperial so can't be used on Jap bikes.
