Re: [MBZ] OT Motorcycle synthetic oil
I think these might be environmentally friendly detergents. It's been a while since I heard the discussion amonst performance bike riders, but it was a major issue. The M1 15w50 was deemed to not pose a threat and was also the best in the biz. Tim 1982 300TD Moby On 1/11/06, Mitch Haley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: TimothyPilgrim wrote: Good question.

Re: [MBZ] OT Motorcycle synthetic oil
For some strange reason, Mobil 1 is -not- recommended for my new bike, a 1999 Honda CBR1100XX. The other owners are kind of pissed off about it because they'd like to use synthetic, but they're warned against it, especially when most of the other modern Honda bikes do good on it. Any clue as to why this might be? Tim 1982 300TD Moby On 1/11/06, Marshall Booth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Curt Raymond wrote: Rick, Have you used the 15w50 since it got the new packaging?

There are advantages to synthetic other than extended change interval! Cold start wear is reduce 50-80%, the engine cranks 25-40% faster and I have found that timing chain wear rate in Mercedes diesels is halved with Mobil 1. The stuff just lubricates BETTER! Marshall
Re: [MBZ] OT Motorcycle synthetic oil
I've had excellent luck running Mobil 1 15-W-50 in my CB-500K (wet clutch). No slipping at all.

Re: [MBZ] OT Motorcycle synthetic oil
Good question. I'll have to look it up. The dealer that sold me the bike tried to tell me that synthetics were bad for the wet clutch because of detergents. I -told- him that Mobil 1 15w50 doesn't have detergents and is fine for bikes.
