What oil weight do you use in your Ninja?
Depending on conditions and temperatures pertaining to your location you should use different oil weights.
I just wanted to setup a quick poll to see what the most commonly used weights and brands are. Please select the weight for the poll and then reply with the brand and weight. Thanks! --------------------------------Example--------------------------------------- I use Rotella T-6 Synthetic 10w-40

Valvoline 10w40 motorcycle oil. $5.29 @ Advance Automotive.
Yes! My cheapo Valvoline scored 5th place out of 15 in the below AMSOIL paper! And there's always the question is motorcycle oil any better than car oil? http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/oiltest1.htm - Joe Last futzed with by JoeLansing; July 24th, 2011 at 01:07 PM. |

The oil in my Ninja

Shifting the gears was never that easy and the engine revs very quick now. If you ever have probs with shifting i recommend.
