four stroke oils

What kind and weight are you guys running? Can I get away with using 50w instead of 60w?

yep ...good advise

Agip 10/60

I ran the Honda HP 10w 40 this weekend for the Enduro. Worked fine but I was not sure what Moly would do to the clutches. I ordered the AGIP from a place in NY. $122.00 a case. I going to stay with that stuff.

amsoil 10w-40

Golden Spectro Semi-Syn 10w40
Used this in my 4 stroke bikes for a lot of years, but will go to 20w50 if riding long/hard at temps in upper 80's/90's+

Castrol Power RS R4 4T in 10w40 in the cool, 15w50 in the hot.

Anyone run the Agip 10w-60? A dealer near me stocks it but I never hear anything about it good or bad. The price is actually cheap compared to the other synthetics out there. Any test reviews on it?

I bought a few cases of AGIP 10/60 last year when the exchange rate was on par....it was a good deal then

I wouldnt dare buy any now.....:jawdrop:

but if your in the states...go for it

I have never ran it but here's an americanAGIP link... 122$/ case

I had never heard of it till I owned a husky recently- they make the blue coolant too, I think..

THe price is so low compared to Motorex, Spectro,etc. It seems too good to be true.

OIL

Im running 20 50 Spectro Petroleum Blend for the first 800 miles then I will swith to 20 50 Spectro Synthetic Blend

I run Motorex synthetic 10W-50 without any problems. The 10W-60 is recommended for racing use only. You'll get hundreds of different responses to this question. Use a good quality oil and change it often.

Waiting 800 miles before changing to Spectro synthetic oil, is that the normal operating procedure? I just past the 75 mile mark want to change the oil asap. thanks

Coffee's info is pretty much the same as George's (Uptite). George definitely wanted to change the oil in my bike before 100 miles. I changed it after that (250mi and 400mi) till 600 miles, where he checked the valves and re-torqued the head and we did the power up kit.

I watched George do the valve adjustment on a 250 yesterday and it was pretty slick and looked exactly like Coffee's video.

Troy, I bought a case of AGIP 10/60 before I decided to use Spectro. If you or anyone wants to buy it I'll make the case comparable to Spectro, and pay the shipping. $8 a liter.
