engine oil
time for another oil change,done 10k miles.last time i used a semi synth silkolene,had a brouse though old postings about oil,not too much current on here so wondering what everyone uses.looked on silkolene website and they recomend fully sythetic for raptors,but iam alway causious about fully sythetic.you hear storys, plus have had clutch slip using fully syth on another bike before,but products move on so fast,and also notice M&P now sell a V twin silkolene oil in semi and full,but no mention of that on silkolene website.so what do you use?

Not certain about that V twin oil - tis a little more dosh than semi synthetic - and it looks to me like another way of getting more money out of the punters (us)
I use Putoline Super DX semi synth (called synthetic fortified) changing it and the filter every 2500 to 3000 miles
haven't changed brand since I first had her apart from emergency top up (me being the idiot who didn't check levels before a long trip )
no no to fully synth, a mate had severe clutch slip after being advised to use it.
Maybe it's just for race ??
