Not So Pro 3

[whybother]

Thanks for posting. Just read the book for the bike, 10-40 oil, no mention of synthetic.
I googled some, and its just another never ending oil debate, with lots in my area using
Motul 10-40 full synthetic and others using Castrol power 1 of same viscosity.
The oil has to do the gearbox too, no separate oils there.

They don't mention synthetic in most owners manuals, only high performance stuff will call it out specifically. Doesn't mean you can't use it. Just pick whatever oil synthetic brand you prefer, make sure it's wet clutch compatible, fill her up and ride. It'll be fine. Make sure you change the oil filter also.
Just have fun, that's the important part.

Before i found out i had gout
I always wrapped my feet tight with electrical tape so i could work
For many year's it worked perfectly
It kept the muscles from moving and didn't hurt near as bad.

I was wearing compression socks that were one size too small for extra squeeze. Lol
The dumb shìt we do to keep moving.

I have a 2006 Motorbike, Suzuki Marauder with a 250cc air cooled engine that uses the same oil for the gearbox. As usual I have an oil question, what oil should I use given its age, were fully synthetic oils about back then or did suzuki use them in the 250 marauder. People are telling me synthetic will not do well in such a low powered engine that will only be used to potter around town with the longest run being 12 miles each way with a break before returning.
Also worried about rust inhibitation, are synthetics using ester liable to hold water and thus cause rust in the gearbox for example.
Not sure I should post this here but I have seen a few motorbike related issues commented on so am taking a chance, not meaning to upset anyone either though so mods feel free to delete.
Thanks in advance.

Stay with bike oil. Wet clutches don’t like friction modifiers.

I'm ordering a few more of those bar's they're nice and well balanced for big saws.

Do they sell those bars in 0.050” or just 0.058”?

G-Evening fellas. ended up being a day of almost playing in the dirt. Way to much garden going on for only the 2 of us. But da** the stuff is sure tasting good.



Hot Bananas


Jalapeno

And many tomatoes on several plants. Had to add our 7' tall cage extensions to a pair of raspberry drop, cherry types already.
Cucumbers are forming but a bit small yet for beauty shots.
So no working with saws today but getting body fuels going a bit better.

Stay with bike oil. Wet clutches don’t like friction modifiers.

Just use Rotella/Rimula or Delvac/Delo in the right weight I say. Slippery, but not too slippery. And cheap.

My dirtbike gearboxes agree over hundreds of hours....til I dropped nuts and sold the last one that is.

.058 is euro, and antipodean guage.

.050 is weird here.

Big Red had her first round of physical therapy last night. She was feeling it by bed time last night. Told her that she has 10-12 weeks before she regains full strength again. Another Goldwing day here. +GFY if necessary
