whats the best oil

[roost]

hi, just wondering what the best oil to run in my lifan 125 semi synthetic or fully synthetic race oil , 20w 50 or 10w or 5w. Everyone seems to say something differant, will fully synthetic race oil harm my bike?

Live by , Ride by and Use Motul 5100 Technosynths with Ester.

RRP $55 @4L

You can buy it for $45

I use it on my RG250,GSXR and Elstar blade.Ps have seen a few hundred bikes fill it and no probs...Remember Its better to use a cheeper oil and change more often than use expensive oil and change once a lifetime.

Dont use car oils..Clutches dont like it

Mineral oil to run in, then I prefer semi synthetic after that. There is mixed opinions about running full synthetic oils in these. Some say these 4 speed trannys will pop false neutrals and suffer clutch slippage running full syntho. for eg. http://www.monkeybike.co.uk/acatalog/125cc_Engine__Primary_Clutch__.html

Belray Thumper Semi Synthetic Race Oil

I have always used this oil, engine never missed a beat, still runs perfect, and i gave it a flogging

i got some expencive fully synthetic shit its heeps good ask ur local moto dealer and he will fit u up with the good stuff

 

[No-Fear]

u can run k-mart brand oil in these bikes it wont really matter, as long as u change it every 2nd ride your fine. expensive gear is just a waste, motul 5100 for 1L bottle is $15bux.
I will always use motul, and just about every other guy will say that too.

 

[john_madeley]

[illusivedreams]

If you are in Sydney come down the 5100 is always on shelf....
