where are ya based, YF ? I am in Queensland, Thruster on here is from BrisVegas as well. Oi Oi Oi, if you are up this way, drop us a line and we will meet up for a ride.

Go the Mobil I say.

Hey doesn't "in vino veritas" mean "In wine, truth ?"

I know Passion Pop is pretty honest.

 

down in nsw. yeah it does mean that in wine is the truth. i think i will go with mobil 1

 

You will be fine with the Mobil-1, the 15w-50 (silver top) auto works very well and is about 1/2 the price of the Mobil-1 20w-50 V-Twin oil. For the Primary/Tranny use the Mobil-1 75w-90 Gear Oil.

 

I`ll recommended Mobil 1 V-twin is worthed the $, my bike is running a lot more smooth since I put it in..Hpoe this help.

Guz
