I have to update my thread. Langys: not intending any fun at your expense, but search this site for "Oil and Kittens" for a hoot. |

Motul is certainly great oil, but I wouldn't waste my money on it. Just use good petroleum oil and change it at least every 2000 miles. The oil in these air cooled motors is usually well contaminated by then anyhow if you hot dog it much. A long trip might make 3000 miles, but I wouldn't recommend going farther than that no matter what oil you use. |
