Hello everybody,


At last back from the land of broken drives.......
I want to test my system by sending this mail.

I read about you out there using synthetic oil, and expiriensing some
minor problems.
First of al you should know that the ratling of an XRV is normal. It is
mostly generated by the
clutch. It's not bad, the CBR 600 and CBR 1000 also suffer from this
ratling.

When you put 'thicker' oil in the engine, this oil dampens the sound. (
makes the engine more silent. )
So if you use thinner oil, you are more able to hear the ratling.

It's not that the oil is bad, and therefore the engine ratles more....

I use Full-synthetic high-performance superbike racing oil ( can't make
up more words ).
It's Bell-ray 5W-60.
I use it for several years now and never had trouble with the engine or
the clutch.
oke.. it makes a little more noise, but I don't care because I know it's
oke.



Ps: The last weeks have been like hell at work, so I haven't changed a
thing on my pages.
But Now it's working again and the comming weeks i'll work on it......
I'll lett you know when things have changed.


Greetings from The Netherlands,
Raymond Fels.
