• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Mineral or Synthetic oil from factory?

Hey,

I have just bought a TE630, when I got it the oil level was below min, so I called the dealer I bought it from and asked what oil I should top it up with, he told me Mineral during the break in, and if I wanted to I could switch to synthetic after that.
I have just got a copy of the service manual and it says to use synthetic.....Does anybody know if the 630 comes from the factory with synthetic, or does it get changed over after the first service?

I have topped it up with mineral, however I am now worried that I am mixing synthetic and mineral.

If I should have used synthetic, does anybody know what the consequences would be from mixing the 2?

Cheers,
Doug
 
Synthetic oil all the time. There are synthetic blends, so mixing some (motorcycle) dino in there didn't do any harm.
 
Doug,

To answer the questions actually asked...

I believe that the oil in the bike as delivered from the factory is synthetic.

Most synthetics are compatible with mineral oils, so don't sweat it. The first change will come up quick enough.

Cheers
 
Hello Doug
High quality petroleum or ester based oils are interchangeable.
top up the oil with petroleum high performance oil and after the 1000km/600 miles
switch to Motorcycle synthetic oil.

Thanks for the answers guys, picked the bike up from the first service today.

Had it done at the dealer for warranty, so I am not sure what oil is in it, I am sure it is written down on the work order they gave me somewhere. Didn't really ask many questions when I was there as I have not really been impressed with their service since I bought the bike and would prefer to spend as little time there as possible.

Now I just need to wait for some gear to get here now the postal strike is over and I will finally be set.
