Hi Sook,

What is your recommendation for oil for the 1000klms service on the 1000RR?

Use dino oil for that oil change.

Edit: at 3200 Km's, you can switch to synthetic.

Re: The Sook: What oil for 1000RR?

Redline, Motul, Castrol Superbike or any of the reputable oils would be ok, there is probably a thread on this forum about oils (well there is on every other forum!) so if you do a seach you should find it.

I am having my 6000 k service doen in a couple of weeks and will be changing to full synthetic

I asked in here because I wanted local knowledge of brands that we can get here.

Re: The Sook: What oil for 1000RR?

Motul 3000, Castrol Active 4T (superbike is 100% synth, don't use it), or Elf 4 DX Ratio. Personally I wouldn't use a full synth until 12K, and use a semi synth at 6K , but it depends on how hard you ran it in and ride it etc.........But to be safe, I always run mineral to 6, semi to 12 and full from then on.
Anyone with half a brain would know Col would say................Castrol. Haha Wonder why?
