    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?

    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...

    maxxis razar 2 (dont recommend unless u want big *** tires)
    lowered front and rear
    itp baja wheels
    wiseco piston

    next is port and polished(any company suggestion would be 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.
