Synthetic Oil
08/11/09 7:46 PM

Hey Fellas
I have got just over 4000 miles on the black beast and I am wondering what is the best synthetic oil to run in the 14. Any help is appreciated.

Use Kawi brand. It has endorsed whatever brand oil is inside there under the Kawi label.

Only full synthetic i have used is Repsol and it was no better than dino after 5-600 miles of normal street riding. First 500 it was great.

I guess we're getting ripped off here or you're getting one quart for free. I don't use it so it doesn't make any difference to me....now the Rot, that's a whole different story. He may make a road trip out to the left coast soon to stock up.
