500 K cafe racer conversion - build thread
Ewan 500 K1:
Just need to set tappet clearance, balance carbs, set timing, fill with oil and do the front brakes...... Might have a wee electical niggle. Any suggestions on best oil to use ?
Johnwebley:
ewan.looking good,
see you have avon boots,
it looks a work of art,
as for the oil,a semi-synthetic 10-40 should be perfect,
I am waiting with bated breath to see how it runs and handles !!

me too John , its been a while in the making, just hoping my wee elctrical problem is a simple fix.
Bryanj:
Forget the synthetic it's way over spec for the old SOHC. Tesco Mineral 10w40 Diesel oil is the correct spec, dont forget it needs changing every 1500 miles or at least once a year
Bitsa (Ralph Wright - RIP):
Agree with Bryan
They were made for the oil at the time mineral
Cheers
