Ok we all know that our B-King and Hayabusa motors tick when they cold start.
Now this is just strange but I need to share.
I recently needed to do an oil change and found I had no oil in my garage so it was Sunday and I had very few choices to get oil in my area.
I had been swearing that I would try the new Rotella T6 oil that has just earned the "MC/MA" certificatrion to save some dollars on oil changes.
So I ran over to my local walmart and grabbed a jug of the 5w40 (only grade) and changed the oil.
Now I dont know for sure if it is because of the low 5w rating for the winter number or what but my bike has lost 90% of its cold ticking :affraid:
I have owned 2 Hayabusa's and a B-King for many years and they ALL tick when cold.
So I just changed the oil in my other bike using the same and ... Well ... SAME RESULTS
Have I discovered a win/win situation with the Rotella full synthetic oil? Did I listen to too much heavy metal music in the 80's ??
I dont know but that anoying cold tick is all but gone in both bikes
Finally ...Rotella T6 5w40 at WalMart... - Bob Is The Oil Guy
