MOLY
« on: June 29, 2017, 08:58:57 AM »
Hi,
I`ve been on David Silvers web site to order some parts for my K4, and at the top of the list was LiquiMoly 4T Mineral Oil. Has anyone used this and is it any good?

Not taboo,  but I've no experience of it.

Can't immediately see any real specs to offer a realistic view but most new good condition oils are not going to be a real problem compared to some of the knackered stuff I see people have in their engines.

this was recommended on the Forum by someone somewhere

Mogul is good stuff, that said all of the premium brands are better than the oil the engine was designed to run with so provided it's a reasonable quality oil it will be fine.

1977 K7 CR750 (lookalike, what of I’m not sure)

I'm not going to get involved in an oil debate all I know is everything that's on the shelf is better than what these bike were made to run on.
There's just three things to remember Buy the right grade, buy cheap and change often
Current bikes
Honda CB750k1 Valley Green Metallic
Honda CB750k1 Candy Gold
Honda CB550k Candy Jade Green
Honda CG125
Aprilia Pegaso 650
Moto guzzi 1200 sport
Kawasaki EX650R (Mine until dave pays for it)
Kawasaki ZXR400 J
