Oil

Can I use 10/40w semi synthetic motor oil from Asda for my Hornert 600cc, instead of specific motorbike oil at 3x the price

[Aff]

Yes.

Yep. I use a Comma semi synth in my Hornet with no problems whatsoever.

Thanks saved myself £30
What spark plugs do you use if you also own a Hornet?

[reckless_b]

I always check the JASO rating on the oil bottle before purchase to see if it is compatable, bikes can be slightly different beasts, what with combined engine and gear box, air cooling etc.

I picked up some bargain priced NGK Iridiums off of eBay last service. CR9EHIX-9 I believe.

[gmc38609]

Thanks I picked some up cheap from there as well

Wilkinsons semi-synth oil is very good too

Beware of oils with friction modifiers. Asda oil wont have them in, but castrol magnatec does. Stick with the cheap stuff from Asda

This stuff is still a tenner for 4 litres at halfrauds.

[gmc38609]

that is cheap same stuff at Tescos is £20, and friction modifiers what the HELL is that

[gmc38609]

Any bids going for under a tenner

I would never put cheap shit in any scooter or motorbike

[mcyoungy66]

as long as the cap does not say "Energy Conserving" it should be ok, as this indicates that it contains the dreaded friction modifiers.

Can't beat eBay for CR9EHIX.
Castrol gtx 10w/40 in the 500, £15 from costco, expensive race shit in the 636.
