    I have heard pro's and con's on the use of Synthetic oils
    as to the use of a "Blended" or regular motorcyle oils.
    What is your opinion : To use or not to use ??
    ( I have always use the Hondra Pro 4 molly blend
    and have had NO problems with clutches. But I'm
    in the process of changing to Royal Purple. )

    No shit.

    I don't think anyone here could tell a difference one way or the other. I don't give a damn about all the engineers here. Either way is just fine...what can you afford the most of? I bet you could tear down(like everyone has) and see no wear with either or with Piggly Wiggly oil for that matter. I have seen it! HP gain/loss is bullshit. Go with what you feel is the best for you and what the better deal.

    I'll take the other side of the argument.

    Tony, you ignorant slut. Everybody knows that Honda oil will make your bike, regardless of brand, both faster and more reliable.

    Ha! I said it before HRCDoofus.

    DAMN ! I think there are some here that need to try some decaf .
    Didn't mean to get some ones burrs up. . . I only wanted to ask a question
    and get some feed back. GEEEEEZ ! CHILL OUT !

    Ok, I kinda agree with Tony :( .

    Any performance gain with synthetic might be offset by the cost. I change my oil after every race weekend, and I just use Yama 4.

    A lot depends on you., and what you like.

    Can we get Dave K to argue for regular oil, and Evil Dave K to argue for synthetic?

    I don't talk to that freak anymore. He ate all my little Debbie snacks, peed in the gas tank of my lawn mower and burned down my gazebo.

    Honda oils are clearly marked "genuine" on the bottle, so clearly they are better. If you use an oil that's not "genuine" then you're obviously just a fake, a poser, no better than a Harley wannabe or worse yet a Ducati lover.

    Then again Royal Purple does come in a purple bottle...

    EXACTLY.

    Why, we warn all of our off-brand owning customers to watch out when they put the Honda oil in their bike.

    And using Genuine Honda Spraycleaner and Polish is worth at least an additional 5 mph on top-end.

    After inventing synthetic oil, Joe Bob decided he was now an engineer.....

    I told you it was an accident. The gasoline just got on the gazebo and that match slipped out of my hand. Get over it laughing boy.

    And what the F@ck were you doing building a gazebo anyway?

    Oh, and I like Silkolene. Why? EDK doesn't need a reason, he just commands it and it happens.
