Thanks for the replies, that means I can continue using it hahaha! Gonna go get it checked by my mech today and see if it valve adjustments. @Loneranger & Robenstein: Not a triumph, CBR150R DOHC 4 Valve hahaha

Hey guys, I just noticed that my valves tick halfway while riding. Could it be that changing to HDEO from 4T be the cause of it? Like the detergents washing away the dirt/sludge on the engine internals and causing a change in valve height etc? Didn't really notice whether the tick was...

Bike: 2004 CBR150R. 1 litre of oil per change. No oil filter. Oil: Shell Rimula R4X 15w40 Mineral Didnt record mileage clocked, but used it for about 11 days doing food delivery in a stop-go urban environment. Shifts nicely when new, started feeling a little roughness in shifting at around...

The R4X has been tested on my aircooled 200cc bike, no problems with the clutch. Im curious whether the synthetic R6 provides better protection than the R4X.

Thanks for the input guys! Much appreciated!

My bad forgot to mention that it is a motorcycle. Is the mineral version good enough to protect during harsh usage and high heat? The people I know that use HDEO generally use their bikes strictly as commuters, dont know firsthand anybody yet that rides hard using HDEO. By the way, is it...

Hi guys! Will a synthetic 10W40 HDEO (Shell Rimula R6M/R6LM) with a viscosity index of 153 be more shear stable than the mineral 15w40 counterpart (Shell Rimula R4X) with a viscosity index of 139? Are there any other benefits of running the synthetic version other than cold start, resistance to...

Thats good news for me! Thanks guys!

Im the 3rd owner of the bike so im not too sure what oil was used for majority of its life. Got it at about 53xxx km's. The oil being drained out on the first change was 300V, but it costs $30+ SGD so it is out of the equation (dont really need it I guess, plus im a student intern so my pay...

Hi guys! Im considering using Rotella T6 in my bike for my next oil change. It is a 14 year old air-cooled 200cc Single Cruiser with 574xx km's on the clock, mainly used for commuting everyday with some hard riding on the twisties from time to time. I live in Singapore where it is approx 80-90%...
