Re: Cycle whore thread
Hmmpphhh. Where do you guys purchase your oil? I know you can get it at dealerships, but I'm wondering if other places sell it cheaper? I know Napa sells 10w-40 Royal Purple for like $15 a quart, but I'm not looking to spend that much again for an oil change.
Where could I get Mobil 1 or Amsoil motorcycle oil besides ordering online?

Pepboys sells Mobil 1 4T oil.
You also never want to use an engine oil for a motorcycle because unlike a cars engine, a motor cycles oil lubricates the engine, transmission and wet clutch. Car oil has some friction modifiers in it and if used in a bike, this could, not always will cause clutch slippage.

the factual information is it sucks, the best thing to lube your engine is with air, is has an almost zero resistance coefficent.

Re: Cycle whore thread
Oh yeah, I only run synthetic in mine too. Like jake said, one of the few things you don't really want to skimp on. At least, I wouldn't anyway.
