I didn't realise I had to give my life's story as soon as I had arrived. I've been signed on for a while now and just because I havn't said alot so far should not go against me.With forum warriors like yourself who are super brave gobbing off behind the safety of the keyboard I am surprised you have as many members here as you do.Is this clown the norm here or have I just managed to find the local troll?

Tango Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hey....lets calm down a bit here guys...... Oil is a subject that has been debated in length on here.......the consensus seems to be Castrol GTX is more than good enough in most peoples eyes......but if you feel the need (and I usually do) get some bike specific oil....like Motul 5100..... The stuff to avoid is the expensive car oils with additives that can cause a wet plate clutch on a bike to slip...... Are we all friends again now?......

Tango Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 If you look at some of the other threads to do with oil some of the guys say that Wilkinson's occasionally have Castrol GTX on special for £10 for 5 litres......but I guess your need is more urgent by the sounds of it.....

megawatt Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I 'm not a keyboard warrior gobby, though it sounds like you are. I have helped more people on more forums than you can imagine. There are ways of using forums and just wading in with a question, without introducing yerself is not one of them. Good luck with your bike, you're gonna need it.
