Looking at some clean fluids for teh motorbike. It's being rebuilt and flushed of all the old fluids, and the old man can't remember what oil he last used in it over a year ago.. *slightly annoyed* Evil or Very Mad The bike is a Honda VFR750FL (1990).

Anyone recommend the oil they use in their bike or what may run the best?

Also looking at a chain and sprocket kit (maybe going for a +/- sprockets if anyone can recommend a setup or wether an O-ring or DID chain would be better would appreciate it too.


Mucho Gracias Amigos!

I use Motul 5100 10W40. 5 liters for 30 pounds delivered on ebay.
(actually they are all the same but buying something decent is cheap insurance)

Ive only ever run semi cheap oil (£8 5 litres) in my bikes and never had an ounce of trouble, only bike ever to have decent oil is G's bike and the fact its stupidly high performance/belongs to someone else means i'd rather respect it and its internals Laughing

tvchimp. i'd recommend morrisons semi synthetic stuff.. only because my Daytona 600 had that and it was probably the nicest bike ive ever ridden after changing the oil, less noisy, gear changed felt alot nicer and less clunky than usual. It could just be me, but it felt 10 times better after that oil change.

Go into your local Halfords and ask for a Trade card,they give them to anyone.
Save a fair bit on oil with that.

For the record i`d use 10/40 Semi synthetic in the bike.
