This is my first post to this informative forum.
I have a 250cc four-stroke single motocross bike that revs to about 13,500 RPM. The manual recommends Castrol R4 superbike 5W-40 oil. When I purchased this oil, the guy said that there are no detergents in the oil. So he said as long as I change it often, it should be good. I have no problem changing the oil often, as it is only 1.3L.
Any idea what is the advantange of no detergents if that is true?
Also, is there a much of a power increase with 5W-40 over 10W-40? Does it help throttle response?
Thanks for the help.
