I use Catrol R4 in the Zed thou (same engineish) and the gearchange is as smooth as silk, plus of course the engine runs wonderfully. Fully synthetic it is, or supposed to be. It's never needed a top up between oil changes either and the bike seems to like it. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19

Has to be said though that it never seemed to do the box any harm, although I've heard tales of C1s letting go in that respect. -- Bear |
