I was wondering what type/brand of oil you guys use in your bikes.
Im picky about oil in my car (I use Mobil 1 synthetic every 3000 miles), and I was curious as to what type of oil would be best in my bike.

Ive heard that Motul is good. Any opinions? Is Motul synthetic? Are synthetic oils prefered in sport bikes?

BTW, I drive a 97 Katana 600.

Any input would be apprietiated.

Amsoil..... the best there is. I wouldnt put synthetic in a bike. Just my $.02

 

Yeah, Ive heard of Amsoil...Ill have to try it.
Why wouldnt you use synthetic? Wouldnt synthetic be prefered since bike rev so high? Just curious...

 

Beleive it or not I use castrol 10-40! I use to use motul and spectrum but one day I was talking at johnney Turbos shop.He told me he uses castrol I was like what! :o Ever since I have used castrol no problems after 13000miles!

 

mobil 1 10w40 4 cycle motor cycle oil

 

Well if your bike is like most bikes they have a wet clutch and they use the same oil to lubricate them as the engine oil, sometimes synthetic oils give you problems with the clutch.

I suggest using what the Manufactor recommends.....
