Oil change
Thanks for the Oil change write up. I agree with a lot of the write up and learned a few pointers too.
My stealership advised me to drain the oil from Lena using the very bottom bolt in order to get all the oil out.
Found a very interesting site on Oil, I learned a lot from it. Especially why
MC oils are better than other oils.
Here is one question in the article:
Q: WHY ARE MOTORCYCLE SPECIFIC OILS BETTER?
A: Motorcycle specific oils are pumped up with five times the anti-wear, anti-scuff and extreme pressure additives of regular motor oil. As an added plus, motorcycle oil does not include molybdenum disulfide and other friction modifiers that wreak havoc on clutch performance.
