General consensus seems to be in the neighborhood of 80:1 (fringe measurements range from -32:1 to +100:1) for a full-synthetic premix oil, and some riders do not believe in the synthetic oils and prefer a mineral base, or a combination ("synthetic-blend" type). My personal choice for use is for a full-synthetic (Castrol TTS) at 70:1 for my liquid cooled bikes. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jse Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks for that whats the best oil to use There are a lot of good full-synthetic premix oils to use. I use Castrol as it's easily available where I live and, well, Castrol and I go back a long time, so part of it is the familiarity of the brand. Ask your dealer what they recommend for your bike.
