Hey, what kind of oil do you guys suggest after the breakin period? Anyone using synthetic? I forgot to ask the dealer what kind of oil is in the machine when I bought it.


Thanks.

 

Do not use Car Oil! I used Mobil 0 and now I have clutch problems. I'm now using Golden Spectro Full-Sync 4-Stroke oil. This is made for wet clutches and high powered engines. I've heard alot of people running Klotz, Honda Oil and Bombardier even makes sync oil for the bomb. I would stay away from anything that's for you car. Don't make the same mistake I did.

 

I can say that on a car engine you don't wnat to use a synthetic for brake in you need to develop a wear pattern ring and other internal components will not seat correctly. I suject use the factory oil for 10hrs, and so chose your own way to break it in. It seems that anybody you talk to has a different method I just rode mine tried to very the rpms and didn't go flat out for to long I use Torco 10w-40 works great for me the trans shifts well I think that most DS owner will opt for motor mods before most internal engine parts are worn out.

Ride Yellow or Black and be proud and fast

 

Don't use car oil, it doesn't have the "ingredients" for a wet clutch.
I use Klotz 10-40W Techniplate synthetic. This is what my dealer suggested. In the manual it said not to use synthetic. I e-mailed Klotz & asked what they thought. They said they had tested that very oil in DS's & it worked great. So far, so good.

 

Does anyone know what kind of oil is put in the DS-650 from the factory?

 

Anyone tried redline yet,have the oil sitting on the bench ready to go....just thought I would ask before I poured it in

If you guys change your oil often why would you even waste the money on synthetic. I have a streetbike background also and Honda sent a bulletin out
a couple years ago about not using synthetic in sportbikes because of clutch slippage issues. The reason I know this is because my 99 900RR's clutch was slipping and it was because I was using HP4,Hondas synthetic. I went back to
the regular Honda oil and haven't had a problem since. IMO In a car or dry clutch system I think synthetic is the best, but for wet clutches I will never use synthetic again no matter what they say. As a matter of fact I don't use it in my cars either. I just change my oil every 3,000 miles with Pennzoil or Castrol and use factory filters.
