Interesting...

That's what I use. I did use RockOil once, but can't say I noticed a difference between the two.

Infact, if anything, the bike ran quietest and gear shifts were less clunky when it had some nasty black old shit in it!

It definately made the gearbox more clunky when the oil was warm,usually i would not notice but it was that bad.Switched to GPS and it was a lot better,the shell oil seemed very thin.

Hein Gericke 10W40 OR Halfords 10W40. Gericke one is cheaper, just need to find which one is available, that's all.
