    :laugh: I should have mentioned as well I don’t recommend motorex like Moto said its over priced but the 10 litres I got 2 years ago was free and when it runs out I will go back to Motul. ( that’s just my personal choice mine only Moto)
    With reference to the manufacturers and gearing, jetting and suspension people know they build a bike for 20 different countries at 40 different altitudes, for 60 different weight riders to comply with god knows how many different EPA laws world wide while producing to a cost that the average person can afford. That means we get middle of the road that is safe and doest seize and covers their arse everywhere world wide.

    Anyway back to oils eh

    Like the others said ;)

    Moto’s right friction modifiers can mess with your clutch but you don’t see it much now days because of shared transmission and engine compartments that cars and bikes have has seen oil modifiers change over the last few years . He is also right about the detergents in diesel oil, its good in a dirty combustion diesel but have seen it ruin a few petrol engines (ones with a few miles on already) when switched over and the detergents clean the engine and jam the oil rings up and the engine uses oil. Seen it block an oil filter between Newcastle and Ourimbah. Have seen fibre clutch plates also become gummed up because detergents cleaned the transmission cases the crap had to get absorbed somewhere and in the fibre plates it went. If ran from new its ok like Moto said

    IMO got an auto gearbox run auto oil, its made for it. Yes, its designed for higher temps and loads like Moto said then a bike gearbox will ever get to but it isn’t designed for sliding dog style transmissions, auto gear sets are always engaged. All that said lots of people have and do use auto oil without a problem. Berg don’t make oil so if they recommend an oil it’s so their product performs well I would think then everyones happy :blink: .
    I have seen many a failure over the years in my job because of incorrect lubricates used, people that seem to think they know better than the people that developed and produced the product especially when I worked at Cat (bloody plant operators eh Pete! :laugh: ). Normally its because people think they are saving money, funny thing is if it’s a bike you would save fark all over a year. Anyway I was taught that oil is cheap and engines, gearboxes, diffs, final drives, hydraulics etc are expensive so thats my dribble.

    I run Moterex in the two stroke gearboxes here at home, expensive but I cant get the bloody kids to use the clutch once they get moving :pinch:

    2012 WR 450 there I said it. I have had a lot to do with one of theses that has done 10000 kms of what it wasn’t designed for and hasn’t missed a beat. Valves haven’t moved and aftermarket bolt bits are easy to get. Will do everything you want and is fuel injected. I am a Honda man so that opinion is as unbiased as you will get here ;)

    Having done a bit of work on the route this weekend I can recommend the below places for your saturday night. Total route distance is about 850 ish kilometres give or take. Last minute adjustments the day before will change that a little. Anyone wanting the route before hand its not going to happen because I need to do a section on thursday night and will only get it onto the computer friday before I leave for St Albans.
    There is one hard option and one easy I will explain when I load your GPS

    Some overnight options you may want to think about unless you are camping in which case you can stay were ever you want

    1/ O’Connell Pub about 300kms from the startContact details

    2/ Rockley Pub about 340kms from the start

    Contact details

    3/ Bathurst about 375kms from the start

    Knickerbocker Hotel

    Kelso Pub

    Kings On George

    4/ Hillend about 450kms from the start

    Some ideas and contact details

    Hillend pub

    Hillend accommodation ideas

    I will also put this in the first post

    Cheers for the report not of your normal high standard but eh but better than my day :pinch:
    Toes drinks petrol out of a soft drink bottle in his back pack and blames others :blink: really but :blink: head spins before he left :dry: . It reads more like an AA’s day out, all he needed to do was escape the pink elephants and then back to your shed safely and its back to normal :laugh: :P

    Why was he carrying petrol? An XR600 will do what your 650 will :blink:
