hi im chris i have a 2005 rr5 factory repsol blade. its service time and as sad as i am i like to use the products that have sponser stickers on my bike hence michelien tires bk chain brembo brake pads etc but i am struggling to find repsol racing fully synthetic 10W40 oil in the uk does any one know where it is sold. sepertate subject how do i get a picture off my computer to make my profile pic ?
Can't find any in UK mate, but have a look here: Repsol 10w | eBay as far as pics go, you need to go to profile settings, and upload an avatar from your computer. Just follow the instructions mate.
In settings top right hand corner......brings up edit profile,avatar etc Yeah that what i said when wife found my Playboy stash Try messaging Opie oils off here
Watch out for the Repsol oil .The HRC Bike will reject it as it tends to slow the engine revs down.lol
so a bike is sponsored by a brand of oil that it dont like :-/ most research i have read says that clutch feels loads better and engine rev's more freely confused. com what about mobil 1 fully synthetic 15w 50 my bike just done 14k miles ?
Givover was having a laugh... It is the old, "which Fireblade is fastest? Repsol or HRC or Black ones?" The bike likes any oil you put in it. So long as it has oil. It's alot cheaper to put a different brand oil in, than to repaint your bike, eh?!?!?! Any brand name oil will do mate, once it is the specs you want, i.e. Fully Synth, 10-40, as you said above...
i can only find fully sync mobil 1 in 15w 50 any other grade seems to be semi synthetic. my bad on missing his sligh banter :-( new to this forum was on 1000rr.net but there all usa mainly and ive had more reply's on this site in one day than 6 months on 1000rr.net
Castrol Power 1 Racing Fully Synth 10-30 is used by my Honda dealer, Dobles (at least on my bike they do). Personally, I will switch to semi synth next oil change, and with summer coming up, maybe 10-40... As for the banter... get used to it if you gonna be on this site!!! At the same time this IS the best Fireblade site, ever!!! Very helpful, knowledgeable chaps...
would you not recommend 15w 50 fully synth mobil 1 then ? my bike was serviced by honda main dealer just before i brought it and it has gone from max to min in approx 2000 miles :-( so was gonna go a little thicker or am i being silly
As Matrixxx says, Castrol Power 1 Racing is the weapon of choice on this forum. If you're confused, have a chat with these guys http://1000rr.co.uk/opie-oils/2706.htm They're members of ours and are very well thought of.
