Where could I get Mobil 1 or Amsoil motorcycle oil besides ordering online?
mobil 1 is good stuff.. iv ran 6k miles on a new clutch never had a problem. we use it in ALL the oil changes at the shop..


royal purple is less than 8bucks at a quart at autozone. im running this now.. i ask my boss(hes been to ALOT of classes on this kinda stuff) and he was telling me today, its really bad for the motorcycle tranny. its a good hp oil but doesnt lube the gears or sumthing. he was going on about shit iv never heard before. sorry.. haha i just got it wasnt good and i need to take it out asap

I've heard good things about Amsoil, but it's pretty pricey.

Grom rides an old 500...Why would he use synthetic on that thing?? I'd just throw some cat piss in it and go on my merry way, that engine wouldn't know the difference.

Exactly, because of summer I choose a thicker viscosity oil and have mrs. buttercups syrup in it currently. Tomorrow I will probably switch it for cooking oil or something.

Anyone down for a "Dope Bike Tournament"? I think the car was a great idea, and we can run a little one for us.
