Hello

New bloke here... Just bought a 1100S 02' 43,000 miles ... Full service history blah blah...

Thought I might look to see what is the correct/best/tastiest engine oil to use... Ouch what a mine field..

Any pointers please gentlemen...

Also who's about in the Hampshire region that would be kind enough to give me the benefit of there experienced / knowledge to owning and operating one of these ... can do bury hill, Newlands corner ect ect...

teas on me... form an orderly Que please ...

Thanks ... Steve.

Welcome on board, Steve. An engine oil thread as your first post, eh? Good luck! Be prepared for a variety of answers - choose one to suit your budget.....

Me? I'm in the cheapskate camp. It's an old lazy engine so I don't think it needs any expensive synthetic malarkey - just stick close to what the manufacturer recommended when they made the thing. Of course, others opinions may vary.......

Hi

Thanks for the advice ... Ive posted as a NEW BLOKE so hopefully I might get a chance of catching up with some of you for a chat about the bike pro's and cons... a good 20/50 mineral then... do they still do GTX ...

just yer basic 20/50 is fine. Harley Davidson's is plenty good enough or I sometimes put Valvoline VR1 in mine when I had it. NOT Halfords classic though.

Agree with the above, just done my first oil and filter change on the R11s using Motul 20/50 mineral oil. The R12S gets fancy stuff though.
