Title: oil
Post by: ace cafe racer on July 22, 2019, 07:41:22 PM: Can anyone tell me if using semi synth oil in my F1 will cause clutch slip or should I try obtain 10/40 mineral oil which seems to be a rare commodity apart from obtaining on the internet.
thanks for any replies.

He swears by Motul Mineral.
