[QUOTE="Thug, post: 22379, member: 77"] Hi Gang I recently did an oil change and was advised to use this particular oil. The first thing I noticed was when changing gears it was much stiffer? My friend who uses the oil said yes that happened to him but after a while it will loosen up. The bike runs a bit cooler and everything else seems just fine. The Oil is a Castrol GPS 10w 50 semi synthetic. Anyone use it and is it normal to have your gear change going a little stiffer using such a product? I assuming if there was an issue with the engine lubrication it would be noticeable in that increased engine noise and increased engine temps etc. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
