old mentality bro.
1) viscosity does NOT fully determine an oil's film strength/protection
2) HDEO is not designed with bikes in mind, if you prefer using it, that's your own prerogative.
for bikes, follow the manual which typically requires API and/or JASO specifications
3) motul 5100 is not loaded with ester which is not what motul is good at.
also, because of the brand/pricing, it is perceived that ALL motul products are good and have a high expectation that may disappoint a lot of people.
what motul is good at is their ester products and that is reserved for their high end models (7100) or top of the line 300v series.
4) R25 requires 10w40, and yes, VERY suitable for high revving 14.5k rpm

i am the TS of that thread, and i am adding more bike info as i get to learn more

i will answer on break in on a separate post.

slight sales pitch: i am bulking 8 bottles of Torco T4SR fully synthetic at RM61/bottle @ Seri Kembangan after morning riding session.
normal price afaik is rm80-88 per bottle as torco website RRP is 20ish usd:
http://www.torcousa.com/torco_product/t4sr.html
i am most likely taking 3 sets of 6 bottles, but if you are interested, come offload 2 bottles from me please



sounds risky to me, try to find a pole/lamp post or something, to tie down the bike.

but that won't stop them from stealing your brakes or accessories attached to it

damn that's the UMW local blended model
http://www.repsoloil.com.my/products/motor...hmeoc-4t-10w30/

and somemore over 60 omg

if i can't find it from Tesco again i'm going to write an email for them to reconsider bringing it back in (with bargain of course LOL!)
ori price 60+, tesco promotion price rm40 for this:

id say damn worth it. especially when butt dyno feels super good.

Rm15k budget... What would be a good bike eh? Besides z250? Er6 not too keen.. X cantik ahahahah

duke 200

Naza N5 .. Haha

purpose?

support hard breakin/ride it like you stole it/no fucks given mode

generally:
http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

personally:
- vary on rpm
- if you follow strictly to owner manual, thats under 7k rpm or something under 600 or was it 1k km odo?
that means about 100kph on 6th gear.
on a sports bike? fuck that. red line the bitch and let it scream tearing through >180kph bruh.

to compensate from the abuse, i do a half OCI practice:
manual = 1k km/5k km/ 10k km oil changes
i did 500/1200 (only because i went ipoh trip and overshot lolz)/2500/5000.

will no longer be practicing half oci after the next change at 5000 with motul 7100 due to financial issues.
but again, my preference, you're free to choose yourself accordingly to your budget.

Repsol moto Racing 4T 10w40

I tried Amsoil 10w30 before... good EO, engine still smooth even after 5000km mileage... but difficult for me to get around my area.

can you screen capture the viscosity chart recommendation from your manual please? just curious.

i am/was bulking it bro! but 10w40 la.
then again geno gotten better/same price without bulk so went with torco lol

saturday morning jom https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=79320754

repsol i bought October or November 2015, before i even gotten the bike lol.
saw at tesco cheap, on promotion, buy first think later

Torco bulk is still going on.

Original target... Tapi "financier" x confident ngan brand naza

Mostly daily ride to work.. Which is 95% highway N 5% long straigh hill-y main road

33km one way.

just like my bike manual... recommended 10w30, increase to 10w40 if higher temp climate..

Saw a lot of N5 on the road now.

Na Na Na, 10w30 all the way up to 40c ambient temperature. You don't ride at desert exceeding those temperature right? Lol
