[QUOTE="fjrinbc, post: 637, member: 21"] really, radman... You can't be serious about the 'ring-sticking problem' of modern 10w-40 oils. The auto makers don't recommed it because of the mentioned fuel-economy issues. And that Norton article: who knows when that was first written? An old air-cooled British twin hardly compares to a modern liquid-cooled four. The writer starts paragraph 2 with, "Several years ago". And the article states "c. 1993-2000". Most of the 'diesel' oils that are used by a lot of motorcylclists are 15w-40 and are not so different from 10w-40 oil. Keep searchin'. I know you can do better than that. Len [/QUOTE]
