    MOTUL HYBRID 0W-8 VOA or UOA?

    . The O.P. hasn’t been seen since October of ‘24. But here’s what you could do. Buy a 0W8 and a 0w20 at the same time at your favorite autoparts store. Separate transactions so there are two receipts. Then immediately after the transaction you tell the clerk that you screwed up and do not need...

    Oiling up the ole chain before major rain

    . I lube with Super Slick Stuff roughly every 500 miles. In between I will sometimes spray a little on a shop towel for a quick wipe down. I have never had chains kept so clean before. It’s a great product. Yup, my RE Shotgun 650 is the most visceral motorcycling experience I’ve ever had. Like...

    Oiling up the ole chain before major rain

    . Right. One minor point about the X300 motor. It redlines at 12,000 rpm. 9k is exactly an indicated 75mph when I had mine. That motor is tough as nails and very reliable. It goes back to the mid 80’s when it started out as a 250. But yes, he could do with more displacement and your...

    Oiling up the ole chain before major rain

    . Yes and no. I’ve had plenty of big and fast bikes in the past but I have no need for that type of bike anymore. I’ve always wanted a RE 650 so I bought it. It is not particularly big or fast but it is character filled and fun as can be. The X300 came as a result of my locale. I live on a...

    Oiling up the ole chain before major rain

    . I had a 2019 300X from new that I rode for about 18k miles including a trip from the Ozarks to the Drifless area. Fun little bike. It was perfect for all of the dirt/gravel roads where I live. I traded it in for my current ride. .

    . There’s so many beautiful places to see in the states. It’d take more than one lifetime to see it all. Is your Versys the 300X? .

    Oiling up the ole chain before major rain

    . Thanks, I bought the bike new last year and just turned 7k today. I’ll be leaving for the driftless region of WI in a little over a week. It’ll be about a 2500 mile round trip with several days of riding while there. It’s a spectacularly beautiful part of the country, as is the Ozarks, where I...

    Techron for bikes?

    . Here in the states just look for top tier gas stations. Higher levels of fuel additives than non top tier gas. www.toptiergas.com They are plentiful where I live as is ethanol free gas. Win-Win. .

    High Performance Lubricants No VII series engine oils.

    . I find it a bit odd that BMW would call for a 5w40. Then again, it’s BMW. No offense, I just find it odd. I’d have no problem using the HPL 10w40 MATV but it’s not my bike.

    How should I select a new helmet?

    . Do you have a Bell Helmets dealer nearby? I’m a fan of their Qualifier DLX MIPS. It comes with a transition face shield which changes with the light, and it works great, and is equipped with the MIPS safety system which minimizes rotational forces to your head in the event of a glancing blow...
