Hey all i just wanted to ask what oil do you use on your bike and how often you change it out. I ask cuz im getting this weird clicking noise when my bike shifts gears and when im coming to a stop while in nuetral.

 

Hey i use Repsol 10w40. I like to change mine every 6-800 miles. If i ride hard i change it early. If i rack up the miles on long highway trips i do it around 800. You can never change it to much. I also change my oil filter every time i change my oil. I use stock kaw filter or the K&N oil filter.(which ever they have in stock)

 

Motul ester 5100. I change every 2000mi

 

Thanks fellas for the replies.Im gonna hook that up..

 

Best oil i have found for mine without getting netural dump or harsh shift has to castrol R4 super bike.

 

Is it time for a valve adjustment.

I use Motul 300V change with filter every 4-5k.

I'm all for less noise when changing gears, I used Mobil 1 synthetic in my quad but don't know if thats recommended for this motor,tranny and clutch.Any thoughts on synthetic. Also where is the oil filter located and it sounds like you guys change it out yourselves. The manual mentioned having my dealer do it, probably just to keep the money flowing at my shop.

Oil filter is in front of the headers, just remove the plastics, the fairings, so you can see every thing. One of the easiest things you can do.

Go to auto parts store and get a low profile oil pan that will fit under your bike. Mine has a pan and storage container in one.

If you are short any tools just buy them and think of it as I would have gave that money to the dealer but now I have some new tools and next time I am set to do my own maintenance.

Ride safe and F the stealerships.

 

I am going to use amsoil
