thats bad. 10w-30 is too low for florida riding, at least switch to 10w-40. I ride hard for a long time so i switched to 20w-50 and then 15w-50 synthetic to run even cooler and smoother.
Speaking of oil, what would yopu recommend since I live in NJ and we normally see summer temps around 85F or so?
do you have any mods to make it run hotter?
just a high comp. piston hot cam fmf header and e-series slip on.
how high compression is it?
so which do you recommend 20 50 or 15 50....ive been running cheap oil because mine burns it as fast as i put it in...it smokes like crazy so it is time for a rebuild and want to run the right stuff in it from now on...i run mobil one fun syth. in my 900rr and it does great...
well the 20w-50 was not synthetic and the 15w-50 is mobil 1 synthetic so its the best stuff. If your burning a lot of oil just run 20w-50 maybe because its thicker it wont burn it as much idk.
im running 20 50 now and it is smoking worse than it was b4....b4 i was running 10 30 or whatever was lying around bc it smoked anyways...then went riding alday and it starting smoking worse when i got home...now it is a cloud behind me as i ride...i think the rings are shot...what do you think
what color is the smoke?
