they are probably using car oil

Brad05636

so a wet clutch application is not as slippry and does not cause teh clutch slip. and amsoil makes a synthetic wet clutch application oil.

stock factory oil has never let me down

Brad05636

so another question i hear soem peoepl use 10/40 and some use 10/50 is it just personal preferance or is one better that the other for the bike.

Brad05636

also whyare many people putting in an extra quart

old man roger

hot weather and stunting for hours ....thicker the better
an extra guart can cause trouble..... i fill mine just to the top of the site window maybe a little past,its done so when your doing long wheelies the bike doesnt starve for oil

Brad05636

so basically just will to teh top line of teh glass window i did think taht a quart over was a bit excessive. i do beat the hell outta my bike so i should go with the 20/50

punishmentcycle

usually i run about 1/2 a qt over and change my oil to the riding conditions.10-40 in the colder months and 20-50 in the hot summer days.most of it is all personal preference or experience.basically this what i run for fluids in my stunt bikes( stock factory oil and filter,engine ice for coolant, and galfer super dot 4 brake fluid. ) i've had best results using these.and never ever use any clutch outside of the stock clutch pack,trust me

Brad05636

yea def i do agree stock clutches are so much stonger

old man roger

not just to the top line..
actually to the top of the sight window or a little past, so you have to tip the bike a little to see the level

Brad05636

so basicall if u put it on its kickstand teh oil is to teh top of teh window. where if it were up straight it would sit a bit about teh glass.

Actually fully synthetic can make your clutch slip..

Sure your clutch may be 'nearly slipping' before you put the synthetic in.. but it can make a nearly bad clutch, bad..

I put full synthetic bike oil in my f4i, clutch started slipping like hell. I coudlen't get it in the air in second, and first it was almost like a power wheelie when I dumped the clutch cause it slipped..

I went back to cheap *** super tech, adn it quit slipping..

Now I just run cheap *** mobile clean 5000... $2.22 a quart

stand the bike up strait and fill it to the top of the glass.that is about 1/2 qt over.and never use car oil.

Brad05636

what synthetic was it i am just curios about what to use and what not to use ya know

Brad05636

i would never put car oil in my bike

old man roger

that would probably be too much and your clearly not understanding me ...bike up straight ....top of sight glass

1ST GEAR

Yeah I got to the top of the site glass from now on, My vent tube is ran to the front neck of my bike so I don't get oil in the airbox at times, well in revlimiter stuff on the back tire it will spray you with oil if it is overfilled to much... Found out the hard way, just over the top of the site glass is the money!

Brad05636

ok i got ya now sorry

S.O.R Josh

Good point. Did you use wet clutch approved oil? Car oil definantly would cause what your talking about. I dont use full synthetic. i thought it was to thin the first and only time i used it. The golden spec is blended synthetic and doesnt seem to thin.
