Somehwere along the line people started assuming that beacsue an oil is cheaper it heats up more? Where did that happen? .

No one did that you pommy git! You are the only one assuming! I just said that with the heat a current a 4 stroke produces I think (I know)a better quality oil would with stand temperatures better, an better quality would mean more costly!

Here is the piece I wrote

Cheap oil and change more often well, if you have seen Dyno runs and see how much a current 450 four stroke engine loses horsepower wise when it heats up and can understand the demands and pressures placed on rockers cams etc guys how could a cheap oil that can suffer the same heat in the first 30 kms of an given ride offer the same protection as good quality oil?

I use Motul 5100 10w50 and change it around 500kms or after a big weekend with Chicken it maybe 1000kms, its quality oil and can do the 1000 kms standing on its head. Temperature is the big killer for oil breakdown.

Have a nice day

So for the next week lets think about these dates and post your thoughts / preferences

September

Fri 11th, Sat 12th and Sun 13th

Fri 18th, Sat 19th and Sun 20th WILL NOT BE THIS WEEKEND

Dylan and I went riding with him almost every 2nd sunday. Robert and i have been mates with him and his dad for years. Robert lived with them in wyong.

Oh shit, the carpet layer?

[GregMember]

Have no idea how much they hold, I didnt name names, I just agreed, they run separate the gearbox and the engine, I will google it hang on

Thumpertalk says

700 cc engine, 650 cc transmission.

But remember I didnt name names I just said its wrong

I agree with Tb 100 hrs of top line thrashing out of a top end is way impressive, lately I’ve been rethinking this whole air filtration aspect, years ago we had essentially sealed airboxes that where restrictive and hard to get at, but abd a big butt too, we hardly ever had any dusting issues. We used to open the airboxes up on the sides to allow better flow (ala RM125s with 2 ” holesaw holes in sidecovers at every meet)and still didn’t have too many problems.
Now many airboxes intake from right where the dust is thick and while this is great for flow and H/power does make life hard for the poor old filter. Maybe a snorkle system like some roadies have may be better, as I have lost count of how many rides I have been on where a 4T starts nor start on the starter as the valves start to recess, usually these blokes are riding mid-pack and the filter has allowed some fine fine grit through and Voilia instant top-end job.

what I am trying to say is there must be a better system out there.

Bruce

Yeah Bruce, if you have spent sometime around the top line guys and see what the bikes and engines go through you would realise that 100hrs racing from any engine is real good, if you let go of the brand issues you would agree, also no one past comment regarding the Yamaha team swapping cylinder heads after 400 odd kms of racing at the condo 750

Yes I believe air boxes are an issue, since I modified mine I hardly get an dust in the filter.

Which begs the question”why dont more bike run external Oil coolers”:unsure:

Ollie

Are you saying that would be a good thing or are you disagreeing about heat affecting oil?

I would only be guessing Ollie, but I would cost would be a consideration and who is going the be the first manufacturer to put an oil cooler on there current 450 so people can say they have a heating problem. Why does a DRZ650 have a big oil cooler hanging of the side of it? See the manufacturers recommend quality oil so the heat is not such a problem.

I will see if I can get Fathead to explain a little about the heat and HP that a current 4 stroke experiences when they get hot.
