hi, I've been watching this thread with interest i have a 900 divvy and use halford semi-synthetic & not had any problems so maybe you had some from a bad batch or it's not too good on a 600 (that is if you have a 600).

I wish I had known this before. I could have kept my Halfords oil and got myself a 900 instead. I don't think "her indoors" would have agreed though. Ah well, at least my gear changes are smooth now and I don't have to switch my engine off at traffic lights to get my bike into neutral. It's weird though, that a different brand of the the same spec oil can make such a huge difference to the bike. I'm sticking with Silholene from now on. It might be a little more expensive but it's much better than going through all that hastle again.

hi, i used to have a Suzuki gsx 750 (89 model) i used to use car oil as it is cheaper & does the same job.when i do my next oil change i will probably use it again, there has been alot of disscusion on type of oils so i suppose its what you are happy with.
