Cylinder change.

[BlueBull2007]

Hi guys,


I scored the cylinder (ja I know..) of my 2009 EXC 450 and have now replaced it but: I need oil for it. The spec book tells me its SAE 10W50 required, but my question is what do I use if thats not availible? I can get 5-40 synthetic or 15-50 where I am. Any bright ideas or suggestions? 

Also any clever tricks in terms of getting the bike on its feet again would be most welcome at this stage

Thanks!

Neil

15W50 

that 5W difference on the bottom will make no difference

i would think that the 50 is better than the 40 as it is a race bike that lives a hard life in the hot side

as always make sure the bike is hot before you ring its necks

when you doing a race again

Thanks Bobnob.

I would like to do the Abu Dhabi Desert challenge next year. This year has been a whitewash for me. Need to do some work for a change. Now I need to lose weight again and get fit.

We are planning a little group trip from Lima down to Iquique in Chile (Myself, 3drink and Mrs BB on 3 bikes), and then up into the Bolivian desert in about 4-6 weeks from now. That should be a pretty cool 6-10 day jaunt.
