You can use any oil on your tyres to turn your 14 into an SGP bike  :doh:

This is all so wrong
You should use fully synthetic oil on tyre tyres as it can then make them go brittle so they don't just leak they explode

I find it difficult to get the round black ones through the filler hole on the engine.
Its also a struggle to get the wet slippery stuff to stay on the wheels.
Can the forum tell me what I'm doing wrong?
:):):)

Amazing how much better Maxxis tyres grip with oil on them.

I tried to put the oil on the inside of the tyre where the air normally goes.  Made the ride feel like a little weird, and the oil came out of the air filler hole.....what oil pressure should I be running?
