Which oil? Depends what bike we're discussing.

I'm doing about 1k a month. Do I still need to do it quite so regularly? It's becoming quite costly.

Re: Which engine oil?
yes. bikes chew oil to bits so they go out of grade quicker not to mention all the acids that contaminate it due to the combustion process.
your bike your money but if you slack on maintenance then it will cost you more in the long run. this is why i tell people not to buy tat but use the money to keep the bike roadworthy when funds allow then buy tat but maintenance comes first. |
