Well my girlfriend and I just bought our new bikes after owning a Ninja 250r (her bike) and a Ninja 500r (my bike)
My new bike is a 05' Buell XB12R FireBolt and her new bike is a 05' Honda CBR600 F4i.
What oil should we be considering for our first oil changes? My Buell calls for either a 10w40 or 20w-50...and the Honda calls for a 10w40.
The people at Harley Davidson seemed super intent on sending me home with a case of their own HD oil but I went home without it. I called Castrol, Pennzoil and Mobil and they all recommend I use their motorcycle oils rather then their regular oils (due to moly).
Are their alternatives to motorcycle oils? I've heard of people using HDEO's will this affect my wet clutch?
Recommendations please?
