    10w40 Silkolene Semi Synth 1400 miles not a drop missing.
    10w30 Castrol 4T Semi Synth 1200 miles not a drop missing ..

    Don't put fully synth in these bikes!

    Well, I'm pleased I've just read that.
    Got my oil today and they gave me 10/40 fully synthetic MA2.
    Usually 10/30 semi.
    Did give me a bit of concern at the time.

    The answer is in there. Honda spec semi only for a reason. Because its now expensive and they use it in track bikes doesn't make it better in a bike that might get constant speed use for prolonged periods test I've seen show bearing crazing and other hardened surface breakdown with fully synth oils. From the horses mouth effectively. I have no oil loss using 1040 semi silk and the gear change is still like silk

    Ok I can get the 10W40 Comp 4 for £24 each inc, but postage is an issue, so I guess if you wanted to collect?? its cheap most people want £10-£15 just to post???
