Because its cheaper than the Motul 5100 I usually used from day 1.
Matt B, I read that Shell isnt a proper synthetic. + its less than £2 a litre so why not.

Because I bought it new and the dealer said it would melt its internals if i use car oil ____________________ 07 Yamaha YBR125, 07 Honda CG125 , 15 CBR300R (Chocolate Crank, Deaded), 16 CB500FA, 19 Honda Forza 300, 70 Suzuki SV650 |

Aren't you going to invalidate your warranty by not letting a highly trained Honda technomagician screw it up? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

hmmm....
New bike would not start when finally collected on Sunday, dead battery I was told, picked up Monday with (alleged) new battery, put battery on CTEK charger and took 6 hours to charge.
Delivery miles 9.5 seem excessive considering below wasn’t checked.
Tyre pressures 20lbs (29lbs)
Chain slack 40mm (max 30mm)
21.08.15 - 719 miles 1st Warranty Service, Blackpool Honda, and chain overtightened to 20mm play at tightest point. £100 for an oil change.
04.02.16 - 3500 miles rear puncture, cush drive rubbers needed replacing under warranty, left it with them for a week, went back and punture fixed but rubbers had not been installed, after a talk i put them in myself on the counter.
Solonoid recall, took it out myself told them it was under the recall, they asked howi know and i said i have a copy of the Honda service bulletin, where did you get that from, tinternet, any way they said i would have to bring my bike in while they remove it and check, then they would order the part and i would bring my bike back again and they would install it , i think not and found another dealer that did it my way, a bit more helpfull.
Never been back to a Honda dealer since apart from getting oil filters, I did a oil and filter change at 250 miles and pretty much every 2k since warranty service myself. I dont think they really give a shit about your bike. ____________________ 07 Yamaha YBR125, 07 Honda CG125 , 15 CBR300R (Chocolate Crank, Deaded), 16 CB500FA, 19 Honda Forza 300, 70 Suzuki SV650 |

I use bike oils because it seems silly to me to risk needing to change your clutch paltes for the cost of £10 per oil change? What's the cost of a new oe clutch steels and friction plates? £90?
Just doesn't seem worth it to me for such a tiny saving. ____________________ My Flickr |

LOLOL. Seriously, many thanks weasley. Very interesting info there, esp in dig2. So the B & Q stuff I used in my Revere from day 1 is probably still the same, although I am a bit wary of going that route now in the winter temps. Maybe I'll go down the 5W/40 car oil route and I'll keep an eye out for the energy conserving info.
