MarkG · 05-13-2011, 06:56 PM

Yes!

There is a whole thread on synthetic, just don't ask me where it is at the moment. ::) I put it in on the last oil change and it does seem to make a difference.

bigdave · 05-13-2011, 07:00 PM

landman · 05-13-2011, 07:13 PM

now will someone please start a tire thread!

usranger74 · 05-13-2011, 07:55 PM

Good stuff that T-6. Use it all the time.

gman47 · 05-13-2011, 08:21 PM

Great idea!! we need 2 main section headings, one dedicated to oil and one to tires.

AlabamaNomadRider · 05-13-2011, 08:32 PM

That is what I am using with my last oil change. No complaints here.

cajun2wheels · 05-13-2011, 09:17 PM

T-6 works for me.

REDWIND · 05-14-2011, 04:39 AM

So if I use t-6 can I go longer between oil changes like I can in my truck?

You can but I don't.
It's up to you.

REDWIND · 05-14-2011, 04:54 AM

I suppose keeping the oil in the clutch basket cleaner the better is the best idea.

yeah, and T6 is not that expensive.
I have found if I go much past 3000 miles between oil changes I can tell a difference in the way the bike shifts gears.

macmac · 05-15-2011, 09:26 AM

I use Mobil 1 full syn, and ya can't be a man if you don't use the same oil as me

bugman · 05-15-2011, 05:27 PM

ok, got a gal. of T-6 rotella, i see jaso-ma but dont see anything about sj,sh etc.. are we sure this is safe to use

**Kawhead** · 05-15-2011, 05:47 PM

I went from Mobile1 to T-6 about two years ago, 'cause I'm half the man macmac is.

The Women just flock around him and I don't think it's the lubricant. It's godda be whats under the hood. :-/
