WTF happened? Are consumers being forced to spend their last pennies to buy synthetic oil?

Sh*t I just happen to like conventional oil more than the others 'cause I like to change oil/oil filter more frequently.

If you have any insight to what's happening with conventional oil please share it.

NOTE: It seems conventional oil is becoming a thing of the past. In the past I heard horrific stories about seals being worn and clutch slipping. I guess the synthetic technology has improved since then but damn it I still want that conventional oil. ]]> Oil and Lube m2fslo http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=203679 http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=203076&goto=newpost Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:52:46 GMT Well I did my break in and changed my oil ( have always changed my oil on my vehicles and bikes this is my fourth bike) never have had any issues ever, any always follow the torque specs yata yata, but it is dripping out looks to be from the bottom of the oil filter when the bike is off at a slow... Well I did my break in and changed my oil ( have always changed my oil on my vehicles and bikes this is my fourth bike) never have had any issues ever, any always follow the torque specs yata yata, but it is dripping out looks to be from the bottom of the oil filter when the bike is off at a slow rate and when the bike runs its goes faster and drips away.

Anyone have any ideas? maybe try a new filter or?

I did twist the filter a little bit farther about 1/8 a turn and still same results

First, what's the proper ratio for simple green to use on the chain. I've heard if you leave it too concentrated, it's bad for the chain. Also, when I use that proper ratio and clean the chain, do I just wipe off the dirt or should I blow it off with canned air or wash it off with water? Thanks guys!

Amsoil preaches "not not use oil intended for cars" some say go for the M1, Amsoil has excellent test results, others say there is better, no one has any input on Repsol it seems, and i am curious about the quality and durability of the Castrol... i want some well-backed, experience proven advice on which oil to go with, i ride my bike very hard and i want her to keep running well. I am looking for 10w-30, so input on the 10w-40 is fine, but i would obviously prefer 30 advice ]]> Oil and Lube bennythepill http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=200799 http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=200123&goto=newpost Mon, 09 Aug 2010 18:47:41 GMT Didn't find this located anywhere on the forum. Has anyone ever used Lucas 80W-90 Gear oil for their chain? Got a new bike, picking up some simple green at advanced auto to clean the chain and wondering what else I can buy from that shop to lube it with. I'm also picking up a gallon of Rotella T6 and an M1-108 filter.

I don't mean this to be an oil type discussion. Just wondering why my bike sounds louder after an oil change by the dealer. It's an '07 with 3k miles.

The guys at the dealership got me to go with full amsoil synthetic 20w50 (i live in Las Vegas and i don't mean to start the synthetic debate). Let me know your thoughts. ]]> Oil and Lube yunerio http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=200050
