I come back to Nu Finish occasionally (as i have a bottle of it from long time ago) after spending money on other product to try. I find Nu Finish easy to apply and the 'look' is good, like your picture. What i notice with Nu Finish is water tends to sheet off, not bead. I want water to sheet...

A fuel additive may clean things out a bit. Injectors for example, which may improve the running/operation which in turn should improve mpg. Using premium diesel which has additives will help in keeping things clean thereafter and maintain any improvements the original additive provided. Liqui...

I had a 2019 BMW R1250GS. Came from factory with NGK Iridium plugs. Discovered this at 27,000 kms and likely like this since 13,000 kms. Took the dealer till 40,000 kms to find out the bike had a faulty O2 sensor, even though i started complaining about serious detonation (and at times i think...

If the difference between a motorcycle oil filter & a car oil filter (that "fits" your bike) is the bypass filter, then so long as the bypass valve is never called upon to open, then i see no issue using them. Flow flow rate though the filter media needs to be sufficient also. Use full synthetic...

Thank you very much DaveInIreland for the link. What a full on test/review. This guy is really keen but in a good way. We would get on well together with his apparent OCD for experimentation & detail. I had a skim over the link contents and will take a more detailed look later when time permits...

As soon as i read "There is no such thing as a "motorcycle" oil filter or a "car" oil filter", such a definitive statement with no technical data to support it i moved on from post #11 by dnewton3. I have read lots over the years about oil filters for bikes and i am of the 'opinion' that the/a...

Thanks DaveInIreland. Wayback Machine? Never heard of it. Did a search of Wayback Machine and entered the web site URL from post #1 and all i got was Could not find the archived filter test. Am i doing something wrong? I would appreciate an archive link if possible. TIA

What's the obsession about water beading? Surely a coating the water sheets off of is better than one where the water beads. And it's easier to hand dry as there is less water to remove. Water that beads and left to dry creates spots. So when a car is outside and gets rained on and is not hand...

The link provided is dead. The cynic in me says possibly Uni Filter contacted haroldbawlzangya.com and paid him to take his web site down to kill the bad publicity.

fyi this is a 'thin' 40 weight oil I have done 36,000kms on my 2017 1200GS and after trying the Castrol 5W40 oil (my Dealer uses it too) and many other brands with different 100C cSt values, I am of the opinion the LC 1200 motor is happier with a thick 40 weight. These motors on a cold start up...

Don't like PR4 as they scollop big time and the front has absolutely no feed back at all. Front is noisy. Friend has T30 Evo and does not like them and they do not last. I have used Dunlop RoadSmart 3 and the front wore quickly and felt real bad towards the end. The rear is a great tyre and...

Fasttimez I saw your comments as fairly innocuous and not worthy of the response you got. I checked out the article link provided about Titanium Oxide function in motor oil and this additive seems impressive which may make the oil better than it looks on paper. Castrol has never been my go-to...

I don't know what the grade oil Suzuki recommend for the V-Strom but if it is 5W40 then going to 20W50 is an appreciable change (mindful that the actual cSt values of the particular oils may not be that dissimilar). Possibly the UOA might look better with the thicker oil but does this...

BLS I may be wrong in respect to Mobil 1 5w30 API SN but my understanding is 5W30 car oils are designed to maximise fuel economy and to this end have friction modifiers in them that makes them incompatible with wet clutches. The label in your picture shows it as 'Resource Conserving' which...
