Title: Oil again sorry xx
Post by: tigerfeet on March 02, 2014, 08:35:52 PM
Reet OIL !!!
haven Ridden since the age of about 7 and doing all me own servicing etc and am not a stranger to oil  :icon_lol: but this being my 1st Trumpet powered ride , and, having read a lot of post's on another site  :pottytrain2 which is sooo up there own  :pottytrain2 its unbelievable---
Most Yanks seem to rant on about Fully Synth ----
However I have only ever used fully Synth on track bikes and on me road bikes [ of all persuasions] only ever used Semi Synth [ racking up aprox 60k before selling em on ] and had no wear probs
However I am getting mixed signals from Triumph -- Dealer uses nothing but Semi when doing servicing -- But the Factory states full Synth
Sooo folks I have a 6k in 2 weeks holl arranged in June -- I am presuming the weather is going to be warm --and we will be travelling hard -- what say you all ???

Had two dealer / workshops use both on my Roadie. Didn't notice a difference either way as far as  performance or reliability of even noise goes.

Only ever use semi myself.  My Blackbird produces several horses more than the Tigger and only uses semi.  In fact, if I use fully (which I tried soon after I got her) she tends to be a bit vibey so most of the 66k on her clock is using semi.  Use the search button, the subject's been done to death on here too....

15/50 Motorex semi-synth. Used it in my Thruxton and then the Steamer. Will use it in the Roadie.
