Techron!!! stuff is amazing. I mix 1 oz per tank, every tank, and use Chevron 92 octane all the time.

thanks for the advise Bandito.... wilco.

it's for my R, and while it might not need anything more.. after paying $18K+ for it, I don't mind sparing no expense on the best possible oil. I had heard the ester based oils were the best, and so it's Motul and Redline, right? And the dealer doesn't carry Redline.

Anyone have experience with this oil? Anyone have an analysis of it after an interval? How does it hold up in moderate climate and moderately aggressive riding? Thinking of using this stuff, but at $18/quart at the local dealer, it's not something I want to jump into without checking out all...

sorry about the old thread but this came up in a google search... Been using TWS 10W60 on my new R1200R for a week now... amazing results. Seems to run better than on the 20W50... quieter valve train, smooth acceleration became even smoother... Runs about one bar cooler on the temps, and gives...

sorry to hi-jack my own thread.... but I also happen to have 4 quarts of TWS 10W60 (the stuff BMW insists you use on their M cars)... what about using the stuff? It's $15/quart to buy and I have 4 of them in my garage.. This stuff is supposed to be made of the best German synthetic stock and has...

then if I live in moderate climate, rarely gets below 25F, then should I go with a 10-50, and skip on the 5W?

Originally Posted By: CSM746 I own a couple of R1200s GS & RT....I have run 15W40 Delvac in them since new. I am going to wait until I have at least 20K on each engine before I switch. Mostly from the dealerships you hear that you should wait until at least 6 to 10K, but some anecdotal evidence...

Ok, I've got a 2012 R1200R that hit 3000 miles and isn't' burning oil anymore... I managed to seat the rings with good break-in technique. I'm wanting to switch the bike to synthetic and have several gallons of Schaeffers 9000 series (API CJ-4) in my garage that I use on my BMW car as well as...

just added this video to my youtube today.. This was a smallish, yet stubborn tree stump.. with lots of little yet well developed roots.. a neighbor was struggling with digging it out so I offered to use my truck to take it out... 3 attempts later (due to ropes breaking), we got it out with a...

Yeah, the new Dodge will be sweet!! Had it been out when I bought in Oct, that would have been a whole different game. This stiff competition makes for 3 great trucks. If I were rich, I'd have all 3.

Originally Posted By: subiedriver That's a very nice truck, but I would still have to go with Cummins. I looked at all 3, no loyalty to Chevy/GM what so ever... it was simply the best of the 3. It's cooler to have a Cummings, but the power difference was not even close. The Ford, which did...

Originally Posted By: synthetic_crazy I think I would cry every time I had to refuel though(12-18mpg). yeah, it's brutal.. I use a cardlock to buy B20 Biodiesel, which ends up being a bit less expensive than diesel/superunleaded prices, so I don't see the cost "at the pump" but rather in my...
