dajogejr Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 use a castor oil when breaking the bike in! Why?? Use the same oil you plan on running at the same mixture from tank 1 of day 1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 castor 927 oil... mixes with methanol and smells good when you ride. plus the methanol fumes give people headaches when they get stuck behind you... extra incentive for people to go bigger.

FasterThanU90 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) WHY!?? How dare YOU!! People have there preferences, but synthetic oils have a higher film strength, which means it can divide the film to a thinner layer so it creeps around in tight spaces like around the rings which of course u want that contact when breaking in the bike * and yea it smells good :biggrin: Edited August 29, 2007 by FasterThanU90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate you. And my cub should be at your house thursday. Hopefully brandon doesn't just throw it on ebay right away....... And I'm with everybody else, the oil is more about preference anymore and just make sure you get it mixed right (or mixed at all for that matter). I use AMSOIL Interceptor at 40:1, works great.
