Are we supposed to have oil in the bike?

 

You could try running it on old chip oil if you like, but I'd have some kind of oil in it,yes
Probably smell like a McDonald's burger going down the road, or an English chippy.....

 

That was just a joke!!! I always keep Extra Virgin Oil in my garage for my baby.

 

OK so let's see if I understand this "extra virgin" oil
sooooo you run it for a while, and it's maybe gonna lose "some" of it's virginity....
and then the second virginity takes over..........
IMO - it's either clean and new, or it ain't......
Never met any women who were "extra virgins" - although some said they were.....hehe
It may interest you that they threw a Honda Cub off a building, then filled it with chip oil (old chip oil) and , of course, being a Honda, it ran perfectly.

 

Thanks anyway guys but I'll stick to Castrol. Its never let me down and my bikes all seem to work well with it. Yes its expensive but when I consider the cost of premature wear I'll stick with what I'm doing. Like I said I dont know anything about Rotella but I cant see the sense in taking shortcuts with engine oil. Even at 50 bux for 4 litres its still a cheap investment in engine life.

With the oil I got at the auction is works out at $32 for four litres which is bugger all anyway. But asI always say. Each to their own !
