sorry Normy but the search function on this site is just bloody frustrating!! Tried to search "oil" for past threads but apprently that is not specific enough, nor is "oil XB12R" nor "what oil xb12R" etc so gave up and posted a new one. Hadn't read the front page where it tells you not to post oil threads on the tech forum, ![]() |

If riding above freezing point, then 20W50 - always use the smallest spread of weights, this reduces amount of VI additives, leaving room for the oil itself ![]() |
