better protection not equal to better performance compare to those cmi. then is wad? for wadever reason, fully is always better than semi. gd luck to ur race bikes using semi. last but not least, learn how to use multi quote.

 

Sure I know how to use multi-quote. Do you know how to type in english or make a coherent argument? Apparently not, So we all have our faults, let's not resort to personal criticisms.

 

Fully synthetic oil is not BETTER, its just DIFFERENT. You can leave it for a longer interval between changes than you can with semi-synth. If you use semi-synth and change it regularly then there is no difference.

 

My racebikes have the oil changed after every race weekend. There is no point paying premium price for fully synthetic oil which will last for more klms when i am just dumping it out after a race meeting anyway. The level of protection and lubrication given by either type of oil over that period of use is the same.

 

For most people a good semi-synth changed at the recommended service intervals for a bike will work just as well as a fully synthetic oil for lubricating the engine.

 

It's the same with plugs, you can buy iridium or copper plugs. Iridium is not BETTER because its iridium it is different in that you can leave the plugs in for a much longer interval, but then you pay many times the price of regular plugs so its a trade off of initial costs against more frequent changes with cheaper parts over time.

depends on how u use it. for ur case is still reasonable and acceptable. eg. motul 5100 semi cost $12 per bottle and change at 3000km whereas a fully like maxima extra cost $20 per bottle and change at 5000km. it is the same. but i will go for the latter. i still believe in the contents in fully. for plug is something similiar.

in sg, sound fast look fast is enough. run fast fine fast die fast.

Sure it's a person choice how you want to do it and exactly like you say, if you use a good quality semi synth oil and change it slightly more frequently then it will protect your bike just as well.

 

For me I prefer to change it more regularly, in fact even if I use fully synthetic oil I still change at the same intervals as I am very fussy with maintenance of my bike :)

hm.. my bike also got black smoke

might be the air filter

might be the exhuast carbon

from what i heard from the mechanic he say to blow the carbon off u need to maintain at high speed for around 10 sec and the high speed means 200+ not sure how true la can try =)

 

white or grey smoke

might be carb or piston problem

good luck ~

 

the header got hole will tick tick tick when u throttle just go to any shop ask them weld i heard is around $40

Actually on a 4 stroke its carbon build up around the valves not in the exhaust like on a 2 stroke bike. Generally occurs with bikes that are designed to run at high speed (sports bikes) when they spend all their time at very low revs around town like we do in SG.

 

To clear it up is not a matter of going fast speed wise but engine wise, so what you want to do is just get the bike warmed up and into a normal ride and then when you have a bit of space you open the throttle right up in a lower gear and let it rev all the way out to the redline and then shift up and run it out to the red line again if you have space/no speed camera's. If you can do this every now and then it gets the valves moving faster and the engine revving harder and will often clear things up a bit.

 

I generally run my bike out in the first couple of gears every few rides just on the way to work and back just to stretch the engines legs.

ok gd. but semi contents cant beat fully contents. just by looking at maxima extra and ultra will do.

there is no need for high speed but u need high rpm. as for white or grey smoke, prepare for overhaul. few wks ago i saw a fm plate castrol paintwork cbr having white/grey smoke. this is a going to overhaul bike.

anyway if got choice and money i believe ppl should use fully...our bikes are old ppl... :cry:
ahaha.. fully is always recommended. unless in zero's case, it is wiser to use semi and change after each race.

hear from video is diff from real life.

You can't just say one is better than the other "because it is". They are DIFFERENT because of how they are made and have different advantages either way. You can't make argument that fully synthetic oil is better because it is fully synthetic.

 

Anyway if anyone wants to save some money just go for a good semi-synthetic, you will not notice any difference, your bike will not notice any difference, as long as you change it at the regular service intervals recommended for the bike it will work perfectly as long as you own the bike.

 

There are many, many examples of people running straight mineral oil in their bike engines for 100,000klms+ and the engines exhibiting next to no wear. There are also plenty of examples of bikes running the best fully synthetic oil blowing engines with very few klms on them. With oil its about changing it regularly and changing the filter regularly to keep it clean but that is just one small part of your overall maintenance. If you maintain your bike properly and look after it and change the oil and filter regularly it will last well.

 

If you want to argue further than fully synthetic oil is better then please at least make a proper argument with some facts and information so that the matter can be discussed and everyone reading can learn something, don't just say something is better "cause it is".

 

Don't take it the wrong way this is by no means a personal criticism or "flame" I am just chatting. :)

yeh you will never hear the level of bass or noise from a video. There are also many different types of Yoshi exhaust which will have different sounds.

of cos both are diff. just by looking at this eg will do. a 5100 last 3k cost $12 and a maxima extra last 5k cost $20. it is the same for mileage vs money. the mileage is based on most pple. but bear this in mind, fully has better contents and yes i saying better such as anti wear, extreme pressure addictives. thru out the 3k for semi and 5k for fully, fully is giving more protection anytime. the latter can use more than 5k and will still be in gd condition whereas who will be in the right mind to use a semi for more mileage. semi has lower tolerance level and will breakdown faster and easier than fully. if wan to talk abt saving money, fully is more cost effective.

in sg, sound fast look fast is enough. run fast fine fast die fast.
