    CL find, is this an ok price? It looks clean enough.

    http://westernmass.craigslist.org/mcy/4216245946.html

    Any idea what this should be worth? Any input would be helpful.

    Mobile 1 for oil changes? Yikes. That would make me a bit nervous.

    I say thats a little high. Personally I wouldnt pay more than $4500 for that tops, especially this time of year.

    I use Rotella T6, it works great. I was thinking Mobile 1 car oil though, which I've heard can cause the clutch to slip.

    But like Jim said, maybe he means the motorcycle specific M1.

    It's a 7 yo bike that sold for what, $9k new? I'd say a grand high.

    Rotella T6 is actually pretty popular oil for bikes. It worked well for me in the FJR as far as the clutch goes. Many guys on the FJR site run it with 100k+ on their bikes.

    Showed it to a friend who buys and sells new bikes, agrees that it's about a G too high.

    7 bikes, almost 10 years. Been using the car stuff. Never had a clutch problem. Yikes.

    Friction modifiers can cause a wet clutch to slip, but you generally only see them in 5W-30 and 10W-30 oils, not the 10W-40 or 15W-40 that most motorcycles recommend.

    Just look at the bottle for this symbol, and avoid oils that say "Energy Conserving" as those will have friction modifiers:

    If that makes you a bit nervous, then the sight of your own shadow should make you shit your fucking pants in terror.

    Rotella T6 10w40 is JASO MA rated for wet clutches, so you can use it in motorcycles with wet clutches and not worry about it.

    Also like everyone else said, that bike is about $1000 too high for winter pricing.

    5w-30 here. Still no issue years and years later.

    In fact, I've never had to change a clutch on any of my bikes.

    +1

    Mobil 1 auto oil since 1996, over 30+ motorcycles, over 200k miles and I have never replaced a clutch........ Don't believe everything you read.


    And as others have stated the bike looks clean, ~$1k too high though.

    All other things being equal http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/...GSX-R750-in-MA is a better way to spend $5500.
