Hi I don't want to start a big hoopla here about whats the best oil to use.<br>My buddy/shop owner has just received a couple of cases of <br>Amsoil 10/40 fully synthetic.<br>He's heard a lot of positive remarks about Amsoil.<br><br>My bike is the 97 T-ace and since it's time for oil change and filter I could use either the Amsoil or Motul synthetic.<br>My concern would be the clutch has anyone had trouble with the clutch slipping because of the synthetic?<br>Let me know your thoughts about it<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>Jim what do you normally run in your engines?<br>By the way I haven't noticed any oil consumption on her as of yet<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>Mike<br> <p></p><i></i>

96 Tace shell advance 10w40 fully synth. All new Barnett plates and springs.<br>And yes it slips.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hissy --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ... ssyfit.gif ALT=":hissy"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>1996 Tace, 1040 Wiseco, Dyno Jetkit, FactoryPro Shiftkit, Barnett Clutch, Yoshi RS3 BoltOn, Airbox Mod, Braided Lines, Carbon Hugger.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>

Mike,<br>I don't believe the synthetics are making the clutch slip but rather the friction modifiers that have been added. Yamaha Lube oils have synthetics in them (semi-synthetic rather than full synthetic) but they do not have any friction modifiers. Look on the synthetic label to see if it says anything like "not friction modified" or "friction modified". If it does not say anything on the label then look it up on their company website to see if they say anything about friction modifiers; or just go by someone elses experience as to whether a certain oil slips.<br>Don <p></p><i></i>

Can't even tell you what's in mine. I drop the oil at about 2000 mile intervals and the dealer does the next one. I use semi synthetic with a new filter and have never had a problem or a big change in performance.<br><br>FT <p></p><i></i>

Motul full synth. with no slip problems with the Barnett kevlar racing clutch..... <p>Jim<br><br>95 FZR1000<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.danasoft.com/sig/rice-rocket ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br></p><i></i>

Used Motul 300V 4T full synth. Now using Putoline full synth. Never had problems with either, the Motul just changes colour real quick for some reason and I have the urge to drink it 'cos it smells so delicious. Clutch slippage is due to a faultly clutch (If you using oils approved for wet clutches and bikes), yamaha has kaka clutches. I've got a Barnett clutch kit in and a billet clutch basket, no problems what so ever. <p></p><i></i>

Ok I'll try the amsoil then and will let you guys know how it works out.<br>Mike <p></p><i></i>

Oh, and I used less oil when I used the Motul. <p></p><i></i>

I know for sure the amsoil is friction modifer free........bought 12 quart 10/40 high perf. motorcycle of it......you should be happy with it.<br><br>canap <p></p><i></i>

I don't use oil...<br><br><br>it all leaked out at the track <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :camera --><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/ ...

Still waiting on my manuals to arrive ......

So, I was going to put in some 10w40 today along with a PL14610 . How much does the '92 FZR1000 hold ?

the 89-95 holds 3.5L

I do not know if that includes the oil filter capacity

Do you guys realize just what a breakthrough this represents???????

This was an OIL THREAD!!!!

The "Dreaded Oil Thread" and it was not reduced to name calling an "Mine is better than yours.... " None of the "You don't know Jack" and "You're so Stupid..."

This is Truely a memorable day


OK..... Lets all have a group hug!

See the Nurse for your next scheduled appointment.....

Steady ! The last group that wanted to hug me was a bunch of guys at a place called the Brass Rail in Atlantic City. My wife thought it was hilarious. She says I now have a perspective on how a women feels walking into ANY bar !

ACME 20W50 99 cents a quart!

Ive used Motul / Silkolene pretty much all my life in road/race apps.


We recently started to stock Amsoil,Gotta say that it impresses the shit outta me!

For example,My 350 is premix 40:1,I now use Amsoil @ 50:1 and the bike is awesome!

I really rate Amsoil after using it,Im in the process of going thru the Exup and after Ive flushed / drained the oil I'll be going Amsoil again.

I use amsoil high perf motorcycle 10/40 in my 92 exup, and is an awesome improvment over the castrol mineral I used before.....so i really suggest the amsoil to everyone
