Yes I did. But I tucked my wiener between my legs first so I could see what it felt like to post an oil thread.

I’m so glad that someone was perceptive enough to create an oil thread to end all oil threads.

I use Syn 3 in ll three holes. Why? Because my bike is under warranty and it's one less thing Mo-Co could use to deny coverage. And it's kind of handy having the same lube in all holes. There's a joke there but I'll leave it alone.

But seriously, if you change your oil on a regular basis, any of the oils on the list will provide enough protection for your bike. Just make sure your using an oil for motorcycles, not automobiles. There are differences between the two.

It's like being an *** man or a leg man. They're all good, it's just personal preference.

Me, too! How about you start a tires thread to end all tires threads?

The next person can start the same type thread on one of these recurring topics:

Seats
Bars
Cams
Windshields
Suspension
Exhausts
Brake pads
Batteries
Lighting
Helmets
Buffeting
Rain gear
Tool kits
Warranty
Heated grips
Battery tenders
Hearing protection
Eye protection
Bike prices

Amazingly enough…this isn’t the first poll that’s been taken on oil. Might I direct your attention here
