Japanese Bikes / KAWASAKI GT550 Engine oil
« on: August 31, 2006, 05:03:45 AM »
FIRSTLY,Im new to the FORUM and hope I dont offend any purists by talking about the GT550 [KAWASAKI, not the Suzuki]. I bought the bike a few months ago, its an ex DR bike and has covered 102,000 miles in 6years.
The oil filler cap says to use 10W40 oil.I have in my shed a quantity of Halfords 10W40 Enhanced mineral oil which I used in my old high mileage SAAB 900i. Additional info on the bottle says "suitable for most fuel injected engines", and "conforms to API,SL,CF,ACEA,A2, B2" . So is it safe to use in the bike or not? I use the bike for commuting [20 miles daily] and rarely exceed 60mph and 5000rpm.Any advice would be gratefully received as would any one elses experience of these machines.Im sure they will be a future "practical classic" to borrow a phrase from the 4 wheeled world.
THANKS,SHREK.
