Motul makes the Kawasaki oil. Just use the Motul and save some money.

Funny as I get that stuff free ,I got about 14 quarts of it in my garage and I figured it was junk .

So now with my bike having 3k miles on it ? should I use this oil <.>

this is kinda a noob question, but is it true that using synthetic oil will wear out your clutch faster?

bluedevil10r · 02-22-2009, 02:41 PM

I think I might be switching over to Shell Rotella in the shop very soon.

PURE MYTH as long as it is a MotorCycle Specific oil with a JASO MA or MA 2 Rating.

I would love to tell you to "Change Now" but my morals prevent that..

Unless we can verify who the manufacturer is of the Kawi oil, I will have to assume it is not a bad oil and being from Kawi, it will pass Minimum Requirements and have a JASO MA Spec.

Wait until your next change..

Send me an email (preferred) or PM with your Name, Address and telephone and I will get some info to you and/or a catalog. If you send a PM, I need your email addy.

If you need a picture of the back of the bottle where it says produced by motul I can do so.

Nope, will take your word on that.. Now we just have to wonder which Motul it is.... If it's under $15.00-18.00 per qt, we know it's not the good stuff.

To get that price you are a Preferred Customer which you have to pay $20.00 per year for.

Ordering through Our Dealer Group, we eliminate that charge... No Clubs to join, no minimums to purchase.

You pay, what we pay.
