Smokey Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 make sure you use a motorcycle specific oil in it. in the 10 year of sport bike riding I never had one issue with Honda HP4 that I always used. This included using it over multiple track days in the summer. So I'd recommend HP4 and either a factory filter or the one Kenny suggests.

Extended life Mobil 1 has the same additives for the clutch. I use it since it's easier to find, and typically cheaper. LOTS of hardcore racers use Mobil 1. The filter I listed is bigger than a factory filter and can be found at any parts store. Probably $10 cheaper, if not more than a factory Yamaha one.

kenny Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Man knows an R6. I think I'm going to get mine out today... possibly clean it. It will most likely be for sale next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably $10 cheaper, if not more than a factory Yamaha one. while the use with the wet clutch is important another big difference is the shear resistance for use in the transmission. With the recent changes of reduced additives such as ZDDP in automotive oils it may make a difference. Motorcycle and "racing" oils do not fall under the govt restrictions to reduce those additives. Also don't forget that Mobil 1 makes motorcycle specific oils. Either way it likely doesn't matter, nor will it make any noticable difference that could be seen in the timeline that the average owner would keep/use a sport bike.
