Aren't Lloyd Coopers in Watford? Queens road right?
Be happy with the oil. It's more expensive/better and is nice of them to do this. I would have expected them to use semi.
Always found them to have very good service. |

Oh hang, on did you have to pay extra for it?
Clutch slip would be rare IMO on that bike. Especially seeing as its resonably new.
You will know if it slips. People say it would on my: 12 year old Cbr4 with decent mileage. I use semi in mine. |

Thats about right, although not so much with really modern engines. Initially your rings and bearings actually have to wear a bit to get the two surfaces to bed in.
I don't know what the factories do with the engines, but performance motors usually come with recommended fully synthetic oil already in from the start.
Another thing to mention, you can screw up older clutch plates with oil additives (Slick50, molyslip etc.) as well as fully synthetic oil.
Very slippy stuff. ____________________ the Space Cowboy.

https://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm. As the title says-controversial. If you take time to read it with an open mind and a half decent understanding of what breaking an engine in is all about it makes sense. If I had shelled out for a brand new machine would i have the balls to do this though?..... Hell yeah |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 19 years, 117 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
