gii Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I tried the Repsol but got a draggy clutch, I know others who had no problems with it, but I drained it after one trial. On the recommendations of Sandifords I use Silkolene PRO SRG. This is fine once it's warmed up. But, When it had the ELF oil in it would start easily in or out of gear, now starting is only easy/reliable out of gear which is a real pain if you bugger up in a section. The Elf oil drained out as thin as hydraulic oil, which has made me think about trying Mobil 1 0W-40 in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cota4rt Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Im using Honda HP 80 /85W and the clutch works fine, but Im having trouble finding neutral. Should I try the Silkolene? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 (edited) O.K. guys I don't get it I know the ELF is expensive because I use it in my Beta, but as much as we spend on our bikes and as little oil as our bikes use it's not that much in the big picture of things. It's not like we are using it to do oil changes in our cars. Montesa recommends it and as much as they cost I would defenetely use the oil they recommend, I would use it in any brand I know here in the U.S. you can get it from usbeta.com Edited September 15, 2006 by sirhc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
