Guys, I think I mentioned I would be asking lots of questions. Having searched for recommended oil I just want to check something.

My bike has done 30k I meant to buy one type of oil. But ended up with Silkolene - Super 4 10W-40
I was supposed to order the Comp 4 version. Any one know in simple terms the difference and will the super 4 suit my engine?

What do you guys use, brand and type. ?

Thanks

Jamie.

Hi JamieB76, imho the silkolene 'super' (semi synthetic) is just fine for your bike. Just check the level regularly and make sure it's kept topped up - a 30K engine may burn a bit of oil. Silkolene's 'comp' range is fully synthetic, 50% more expensive and probably overkill for a low-revving, single cylinder road bike.
