Originally Posted By: AMC I missed the part where he said "after parking the bike". I think he is referring to the noise the exhaust makes during its cooling cycle when it is shut off. That is totally normal and some vehicles do it more than others. My Super Tenere and Silverado make that noise...

http://lubes.mobil.com/AP-English-LCW/ca...-4t-20w50.aspx# Hi guys, Anyone have any experience with this mc oil? It is very vague, made in malaysia, and sells pretty cheap here. Apparently JASO MA but doesnt have it on the bottle. Its about 5.50 per litre as opposed to 6.00 dollars per litre...

Originally Posted By: AMC Good job on stepping up and taking the plunge to do it yourself! It really is a good feeling when you can do things yourself. If you can get Delo or Delvac 1300 cheaper next time, I wouldn't hesitate to use those either. Ride safe and keep learning! Thanks! It is a...

Hi guys, Ended up using Mobil Delvac MX 15w40. It was only 28 dollars for 5l, as opposed to 32 dollars for 1l of amsoil or motul. The Yamalube on my dipstick "looked okay", but i was itching to try a HDEO in my bike. Got a strap wrench and Delvac MX at a local supermarket and did an oil...

Donny, are you the chap on IG posting about using Mobil Delvac 1300 in your XSR900? i searched the hashtag HDEO haha and saw your bike. Seeing as the XSR900 is much more technologically advanced compared to my XV950 Bolt, would Delvac be good to run? what's your review on that oil? I see you...

I want to thank you guys for the awesome information! All your posts are greatly appreciated. Sorry i can't thank each and every post individually, it'd be pages of reposts if i did! I'm going back home tomorrow for a few weeks holiday and i can't wait to see what HDEO's are available. As for...

Ah so it was overfilled slightly...no wonder it foams...interesting to see the results. Keen on using Delvac

Yup, Brunei is equatorial. We are facing thunderstorms now, there's a huge typhoon going from Phillipines to Japan, and we always face the "tail" of the typhoons. Thanks for your insight. I believe Shell Advance M/C oils were released here in April, though i don't know where they sell it! i'm...

HDEO or dedicated M/C oil?

You both are awesome. THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS! and thanks for taking the time to read through my wall of text! my bike currently has 2,100km+ at the moment. i changed the Yamalube out at 934km and have been riding around. I'm thinking of dumping the oil out and filling with Delvac (i believe...

Hey Guys Been a big fan of this forum. I have a few questions, hoping the more knowledgeable people on this forum can give me some valuable insight. The motorcycle in question is a Yamaha Bolt. V Twin, Air Cooled and Fuel Injected. 1) The manual states oil ranges from 10w40 to 20w50 and all...

I've been following this thread for a while. The fact that OP has used a diesel oil in such a technically advanced bike (moreso than mine) has given me inspiration and the will to try HDEO in my own (Yamaha Bolt). There's Delvac over where i live...1300 i believe as well! OP, any update on...

Awesome bike man, i think you've posted these photos on IG (i searched #HDEO)
