I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE THAT USE CATROL GTX IN THEIR MOTORCYCLES, THE SAME STUFF THAT GOES INTO CARS, HAS ANYONE DONE THIS WITH THEIR GS?
This has been talked about...and talked about...and talked about... :technical:
You will find your answers here: http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=62112.0
Personally, I use this:

Yep, just make sure you don't get the stuff with friction modifiers.
Call me naive but...
Why the heck would anyone put anything other than what the manufacturer recommends (in the owner's manual) in their machine?

I like your style BassWoW.But I will tell you this: Use ONLY motorcycle oil in your motorcycle.
Even cheap motorcycle oil is safer with a wet-clutch bike (like your GS500) than any automobile oil.
BTW: Is Farmington, New Hampshire located anywhere near the Queensland, Australia area?
I'm just asking because good location is
everything here at GStwins.
Best regards,

I hope I'm not missing a joke, but I do believe New Hampshire is half way across the world, and in the wrong hemisphere from Australia...
Joke? At gstwins? Never.
It's actually secret ej code only understood by those who know and cannot be explained to those who do not. Hope this helps.
Speaking of oil, I've been using clarified butter to cook with. It's different.
Stick with real milk. Of course, for the puritans it needs to be permeat free.
puritans would drink only milk directly from the cow, assuming you call drinking another animals excess lactate product normal, maybe the puritans need to separate. :icon_confused:

Well mustang,
That answers the question.
Thank you Sir.

Mister,
What (cheap) motor oil would you recommend? In your GS, that is.
TOG: Drink milk? Are you nuts. We don't Drink the milk. That'd be silly. We put it in the handlebars :thumb: C'mon man, get with the program, eh?
Ej. Cheap oil? Not in my bike. Cheapest I would put in is Motul 5100. 300v is better. And now I have Mobile racing 4t. dang that stuff is pricey but so smooth. BTW, Motul smells nice, just saying.
Just saying Mobil tastes sweet
Once my hoard of Castrol runs out, I'm switching to snake oil.
And I only use Goat's milk in my handlebars. C'mon people, everyone knows that goat's milk is far superior :icon_rolleyes:
so you're using milk from the chevron. :icon_mrgreen:
QuoteI'm switching to snake oil.
Way ahead of you, brother. I've been using rendered Shi-tzu oil for years. Smells great on a hot day.
Been using whale blubber for a while too it's great stuff. Blue whale is best. I usually wear my baby seal vest when I change my oil too.
You guys afucked in the head. You should be smarter than that.
The best is really a mix of day old kitten eyes mixed with pureed hummingbird strained through a chipmunk. To strain take icepick and make several holes in said chipmunk, is very important to get a live intact chipmunk for this as a roadkill victim doesn't have the same effect. Next, mix with panda semen (how you aquire this is up to you, I prefer the forced copulation method) and heat to 327.3 °F. When cool it's ready to use. :thumb:
Crisco baby!!!!
Starts right up. Cranks like a mofo though....Reernt cha cheernt cha cheernt....
My cousin Fat Mike used to run cooking oil in the crankcase of his 350cid Chevy Nova.
That was one quick car!

The car, and Fat Mike are long gone.
He wrecked it backing up!
That's right. He was driving down a local street at about 30MPH and a friend yelled to him as he drove by. He stopped, put the car in reverse, and sped backwards down the narrow street wit other cars parked on both sides of the street.
He went way too fast (backwards), lost control, and wrecked the Nova.
He also did an amazing amount of damage to several other vehicles that were parked along the road too.
It's the same cousin Mike of mine that wrecked my KZ400. :icon_neutral: :icon_sad:
I could produce an entire thread on "Cousin Mike" and the damage he has caused over the years.
But ah, what the hell, he's family.
-Ej-
So.... you will accept from a family member what you would not accept from a stranger?
Interesting.
No-one gets a pass from me - family or not.
Michael
Good ole family. Now back to milk is anyone doing the permeate free stuff? How does it handle the vibes?
Pasturised, homogenised and permeat free. Works a treat. :thumb:
Oh yeah but permeate free is the new kid on the GS block

You're cool!
Many of your one statement posts can instantly end a thread.
Or seed an entire new one. (http://www.stripers247.com/phpBB2/images/smilies/sign13.gif)
