Re: Change Your Oil
Excuse my ignorance, but what's a dragbar? Could be something I know by another name (not being American)

Re: Change Your Oil
hey i was just wondering about the oil weights in relation to the different seasons. the guy at the local motorcycle shop handed me 20w50 and said thats what they use during summertime. any known problems going with this oil for our bikes?

Re: Change Your Oil
FYI : it takes a loooooong time to drain the oil if you don't warm up the motor first... its been on the jack stands draining for about 15 minutes, still slowly dripping lol.

20w-50 seems like overkill to me, on a bike that the factory recommends 10w-40 on for all driving seasons. The thickest oil I run in a bike is a 15w-40 and that's on an abused China-bike. |
