That is a single grade for larger bearing clearances, right? Like old UK Norton's and Triumphs from the 50's
Cold start might be tough for a CB
I can find Gulf Classic 20W-50 for old cars with extra zink.
Spectro and Red Line have also high amount of zinc. 2200-2500 something. Motul must have less to match modern bikes with cat, maybe around 1000.
Both my bikes have fresh oils so I can't change until next year
I have mixed Red Line synth with a cheaper synth to make my Red Line stock to last longer. Q8 SBK Racing 10W- 50. In my K6 that need good oil. Runs harder
Gearbox not that smooth as my last mix in the K2.
I think "Racing" oils have more zinc.
I need to do the same once more to verify if Assembly Lube was involved.
Update:
The following starts, gearbox was less smooth and clutch can stick a little. Back to a normal good working oil.
I'll continue to mix oils for this bike. (My K6 will get Red Line only)
- Spectro mineral for the zinc,
- a little bit Motul 7100 synth for the nice smell!
- Q8 SBK racing for the synth spec and save my Red Line.
