1. What oil should I use in my bike.
2. Should I stand or sit when pouring the oil into the bike.
3. What pressure should my tyres be before changing the oil and is this dependent upon whether I sit or stand? (I know it lowers the centre of gravity so that is not my point)

I know this has been briefly discussed on the forum before so please excuse me for posing the questions again. I know these issues are a matter of life and death and I'd really like to get the experts' opinion.
1. What oil should I use in my bike.
2. Should I stand or sit when pouring the oil into the bike.
3. What pressure should my tyres be before changing the oil and is this dependent upon whether I sit or stand? (I know it lowers the centre of gravity so that is not my point)
Please keep your replies on topic and no bitchy comments.
If you re asking for the new bike, it is a Honda, so; 1. Any old oil, cooking oil makes faster.
2. Please stand while pouring the oil into the bike, as you'll be able to jump away quicker should anything suddenly shoot off the bike.
3. Tyre pressure is irrelevant, those bikes have the solid wheelbarrow type of wheel favoured by Honda and Lasher.

Tyre Pressure does not matter here, what matters is what Grade the Oil is. If you pour Multigrade slowly the Weight on the Sidestand should be minimal but any other Oil requires you to to adjust your Dampers on the left front and rear if you live in the Southern Hemisphere.
No more Questions.

Thanks @Offshore. I dialed up the damping on the centre rear shock and now the bike runs a lot quieter. If I increase the preload on the front fork will this make it even quieter?

Ou Dorslandjie,
ek dink jy's op die regte spoor met alles, maar een ding is tog redelik asook besonders belangrik en niemand het jou nog daarmee gehelp nie: sit asb die bike se enjin af voordat jy die ou olie laat uitloop!
En dan start jy die enjin eers weer nadat jy die nuwe olie ingewurg het!
O, en die nuwe olie wurg mesn effektiefste in as jy daai bout onder inni sump weer indraai en vasmoer met n impact tool, n hamer werk beste hierso - ek neem aan jy het n groot een?
Dan ook, vloeibare olie werk beste, glo my vry, ek het alles al probeer!

Onthou as jy olie aftap moet jy nuwe valve clearances ook insit. Kyk sommer of daar slytasie op die powerband ook is. Baie ouens vergeet dit dan verstaan hulle nie hoekom die bike nie perform nie :thumleft:
Hierdie is baie belangrik :thumleft:
Onthou om die nuwe valve clearances in te sit soos Kortbroek sê. Pêl van my het dit nie gedoen nie, toe val sy ou valve clearance regdeur die blok onder tot in die

I know this has been briefly discussed on the forum before so please excuse me for posing the questions again. I know these issues are a matter of life and death and I'd really like to get the experts' opinion.
1. What oil should I use in my bike.
Please keep your replies on topic and no bitchy comments.
Dorsland, I dont know much about 1. and 2., but can offer some advice as to the the question of what oil to use. Without knowing what bike you ride and what result you are after I will offer you the options I normally consider:
a) You ride a thumper with stock seat and rear suspension, with tyres pumped to 2.5 bar, and are planning a long tar trip
-> use Arnica oil - it will permeate through the whole bike, smooth out the vibrations, massage your ass while you ride and you will finish the ride feeling like a young man just returning from the massage parlour
b) You are over 50, and your bike looks a little abused, with numerous surface scratches. Your skill is also not good enough to make the ladies look your way anymore
-> use Bio Oil - it will work its way all over, magically smoothing out wrinkles and other saggy parts, while also removing scratches from the bike, leaving both of you looking 10 years younger
c) You ride a super expensive bike, kinda want a new bike already again, money is no issue for you, but your wife might think it unnecessary and withhold a bit of love at home
-> use Pr*long oil - this way you are supporting clever entrepreneurs who can sell ice to eskimos, and when engine blows while demonstrating to your mates how you can actually drain the oil and keep riding through the 40deg Tankwa heat you can at least educate the other people around you, also having a legitimate excuse to buy a new bike
Side note - oil readily transfer properties of mechanical parts it has previously come into contact with:
-> oil from a Land Rover will make your bike sick as well, causing a permanent discharge and making you the centre of all jokes forevermore
-> oil from a Ferrari, Land Cruiser, etc will make your bike better
Good luck with the work, and let me know it worked out for you after lockdown

Guys please be aware that we are in the midst of a lock down. Now before attempting any maintenance on your boney wear a mask wash your hands and don't chew with your mouth open.{coz your mother says so}. Exposing the internals of your bike to the atmosphere is a no no. The virus will cause your rear wheel to lock up (air filter totally blocked due to infection) .Now you will suffer 5G symptoms. Bad news this. 5G symptoms are identified by server chest pains as the rear locks up and you connect the handle bars with your chest at +5G,s . True I read it on the interweb 5g is killing us.I doubt Dorsland still has a boney at his age

1. What oil should I use in my bike. Only the right oil
2. Should I stand or sit when pouring the oil into the bike. It is not important, however it should be poured only with love
3. What pressure should my tyres be before changing the oil and is this dependent upon whether I sit or stand? (I know it lowers the centre of gravity so that is not my point) This depends on the floor surfacing of your garage, shed or stoor. Remember to adjust the pressures if your driveway surfacing is different. Inflate until the rim is not on the ground anymore.

It makes a lot of sense. You first run the oil in in the cruiser and then use the oil in the bike. Using experienced oil in your bike is sheer brilliance.
