Just been to Mcdonalds for a big mac and fries. I wasn't hungry just needed the napkins to wipe my arse 

[Notty]

oil arrived - just waiting for the filter

Just looked up the price of that oil, it's 2 - 3 times dearer than the stuff I use.   (Gulf Western Synergy 3000)

Can you mix the new and old formula

@Notty are you satisfied with that oil? I use it for last 12tkm with no problem, shifting gears is quieter than using motul 5100 and much cheaper.

Smoother gear changes than Motul and Silkolene IMO

Cheers Irish thats a very good point - I Knew you shouldn't mix different brands and types so I guess this may be a problem - will order a 1 ltr on FleaBay to be sure

Lost now, but back on old forum i experimented with around 6 or 7 diff oils. Results all posted but lost now. From memory, Motul was worst gear change, most expensive also. Silkolene 2nd worst. Stupid 4 litre containers made them expensive, always needed a 1 litre top up bottle. Have trouble remember other brands tried, Penrite, I liked it, 5 l bottle also. I settled on Gulf Western, best gear change& clutch action. Using a long time now, very cheap for Aussie buyers also. And Kiwis, nearly forgot that bit.

I don't even consider Motul 5100, tried Motul 300V race oil, gearbox was seriously bad with that in it..... and my wallet had to go to rape councelling.
Gulf Western been in it for around 50,000 kms now. Comes in 5 ltr packs and cheap az chups bro

Depending on how the bike is used it can be a good thing to change the oil more frequently. What I have noticed between UK and Oz is that in the UK the engine will not run as hot and if used for short trips may have a tendency to go milky with condensation. I have never had this problem personally but have seen it in other's.

I seem to have lost interest in bikes but I have to be doing something so this is my next project.
