If you want mag plug but dont wat to buy one, take apart an old hard drive and remove the magnets near the moving arm. Now just put one of hem on the drain plug that will catch any fuzz in the sump.

Hi folks,

Very interesting. Really enjoyed the articles and feedback. I'm running HPR 5 semi, 5-40; bike having only 7000 k so far. Will look at possibly upping the vescosity at 10K to 15 - 40. Also have a look at the PM 412 possibly?

Cheers again - Lyndon..

For those interested, whle checking the specifications of the oil the car service place put in (last time I have to go there as off lease now so back to me doing it) the Penrite 5W-40 full synthetic has the MA1 rating for use in wet clutches.

Lyndon,

PM403 has been recommended as the one for the STs, in the west any way (due to more hot days) we have 4 bottles on the way so the trials will begin soon. Mind you it could be a year before we get to do a sample test

Hi Brock
If our oil gets here in time I'll do an oil change with it before I leave for Blackheath.

Be about 8500klm on it by the time I get back, so not long till I change and get a test.

Brock · « **Reply #55 on:** March 25, 2012, 12:05:05 PM »

It should arrive next week hopefully, so may arrange a meet point next Saturday somewhere in a mid point between Joondalup, Toodyay and SOR. Can have a coffee and a chinwag as well.

On Sunday I fly out for three weeks, destination is a secret.

No need to do a change till 20000Ks, so you should be good for at least 3 mths riding..

Mitch · « **Reply #56 on:** March 25, 2012, 05:15:04 PM »

Sounds like a plan to me Brock.

20,000 klms between oil changes, great.

Mitch · « **Reply #57 on:** March 25, 2012, 05:19:52 PM »

Won't you please tell me your secret destination. ( I won't tell anyone, promise? )

Brock · « **Reply #58 on:** March 25, 2012, 08:20:45 PM »

(Whisper mode for Mitch only) [ I'm going to Thailand...... dont tell any one ]

Can't go yet, still waiting for oil.

JohnoJ · « **Reply #65 on:** March 26, 2012, 10:15:40 PM »

It is not Saturday either. 4 days for the postie.

rocketeer · « **Reply #66 on:** March 29, 2012, 09:56:17 AM »

Oil can't be too far away, was sent over a week ago. It does take time from qld toWA, I would expect 10 days.

Brock · « **Reply #67 on:** March 29, 2012, 11:50:34 AM »

Hope it arrives tomorrow, then I can arrange delivery Saturday,

Sunday I fly out for Thailand (just so every one knows) and wont be back till 22 Apr.

Serviced the ST today ready for the ride to Blackheath.

Now has PM403 oil in her, interested to see if I can notice any difference.

SNAP! Also did the filter (Z436) and final drive gear oil (Honda OEM Hypoid 80 grade).

Will see you there Champ!

CHeers, Diesel

saaz · « **Reply #71 on:** April 10, 2012, 09:24:21 PM »

I may have the final drive oil in (but I have full synthetic in there at the moment anyway) and the fuel additive as well but as I only have a little 400km ride to get to Blackheath the main test will be Lightning Ridge in a little while. I have lots of full synthetic oil in my stash at the moment (5W-50 and 10W-60) that I bought marked right down to use in the car and bike so may be a while until I get around to trying something different.

Brock · « **Reply #72 on:** May 12, 2012, 01:18:33 PM »

PM403 and new filter in, now to wait for 20000Ks, Pick up the fuel additive next wek.

Brock · « **Reply #73 on:** May 14, 2012, 08:58:55 PM »

First impressions are good so far, the bike seems quieter, cold gear changes seem smoother ( even with out the clutch). I havent had any clutch squeal on a cold take of yet, in all the bike is running nicely.

I have lost ten kilos, and find picking up girls is much easier, and the super markets just give me all my groceries....

OK, I was kidding about the 10 kilos..

rocketeer · « **Reply #74 on:** May 14, 2012, 09:04:09 PM »

LOL I think you were expecting too much from us mate, the girls aren't flocking this way either, and the 10 kilo's I've been meaning to lose just isn't going anywhere!!
