Squidley Posted March 11, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 11, 2010 Your not going to hurt anything, I did the same thing on one of my 1st gens after I tried syn and it leaked out the gaskets after cleaning all the sludge out of them switch it over, you'll be fine.

FreezyRider Posted March 11, 2010 Share #3 Posted March 11, 2010 Or, if you want to stay with Syn but don't like the Amsoil prices, you might try the Rotella 5w-40 Syn (in the blue jug). It's about $20 per gallon at WalMart. Works great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteSquid Posted March 11, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2010 Why not go to Rotella T6 full Synthetic???? Click HERE to go to Shell's website. BTW Shell Rotella T6 is now JASCO MA certified!!!!!!!!! so you can use it in your bike and meet all warranty requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldslow Posted March 11, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 11, 2010 I just did my oil with the T6 synthetic...I have no reservations! Guys here in my neck of the woods who run a lot of diesel trucks have taken to oil analysis and changing filters only till the oil starts to show actual wear. This synthetic oil can go a long way...

buddy Posted May 4, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 4, 2010 Rotella T 15w40 shifts fine, but seems my whine is louder now? will switch to T 6 next time and see how it does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter 1500 Posted May 4, 2010 Share #11 Posted May 4, 2010 Rotella T 15w40 shifts fine, but seems my whine is louder now? will switch to T 6 next time and see how it does? Mine had what ever oil the dealer uses when they change it at 600 miles and I just did my first oil change and went with the Rotella T and it seems to be quieter. I used it in my old bike (03 Suzuki LC1500) for 54k and never had an issue with it and the clutch worked fine still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Pearl Posted May 4, 2010 Share #12 Posted May 4, 2010 I switched to the rotella t6 this spring and its smoother, shifts like butter and the whine isnt gone but quieter on mine, just my couple pennys worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
