I wanted to share my experience with using Motul 300V Sport Oil which is a fully synthetic oil. My 12 year old, sport bike enthusiast, daughter and I just did my 4000 mi oil change using it. I am very impressed with the results. The engine is a lot quieter at idle and the bike shifts a lot more smoothly. Depending on how the oil treats the engine long term I will be sticking with Motul 300V permanently using it in all my "better" bikes."

 

I love the synthetics -- particularly mobil 1. What's really amazing is that you got your child interested. My 13 and 11 year old boys could care less about working on anything mechanical. I'm thinking they might not be mine. I've always been a grease monkey.

 

Your wife told me she'd never tell you....

 

oh my! buahahhahhahhahhahhahhahahhah
yea mobile 1 is dope...so is motul!

 

I know what you mean. My 16 year old son, who I would love and gladly pay for to get into road racing, wants nothing to do with what Dad is in to.

 

From what she told me she slept through it and thought maybe it was just a wierd dream. Sumpin about a strange Popye-like figure sneakin in the room.

 

ROTFLMAO @ the above

I`m impressed with the fully synthetics too, good stuff.

 

what weight oil are you guys using for the synthetics? I have to change my oil before it gets nice and was planning on getting mobil 1.

The Motul I am using is 10w-40.
