No, but I think it's shrunk it

Damn right Steve, its a like wearing a thong the wrong way around. (so I have been told)

As I said BOTH are absolutely fine ...

Probably robs you of 1bhp though

Was just checking if an informed choice or accidental. Main thing - fully synth

Semi synthetic in mine.

Does my bum look big on it.

You make it look like one of those Honda Grom/MSX125 with a fairing on

Lol ... I'm not even sure they do Motul 300v in 10w 30?

Either way it's not a problem and the extra protection of a 40 is not a bad thing to have at all. Even the supplying dealer stuck Putoline Syn4 10w 40 in it...

Given the degradation of the grade over it's lifetime, 10W 40 fully synth will be going in mine once I start servicing it myself.

Got ya. But why is it wearing on the stem like that?? I'm guessing it's had a heavy life...

Just waiting for the pedals.

I dunno Steve, I have heard that some change them quite regular, like every 3 months or so.

This reared its head as false neutrals in 3rd and 4th gear.

Interesting.. A couple of mates who race ZX10's here say that their gearboxes become a bit flaky after a few thousand race kms. False neutrals between 3rd and 4th!
Seems the ZX has a weakness then.......

A QS with a reputation of destroying gearboxs is fitted to this bike.

I don't want to name them as the walls have ears and I will get into trouble.

I have a Trans-logic QS for my Honda.

Would it rhyme with 'Rhino Pet'??
And FWIW, the series prohibits Q Shifters so the guys make very aggressive changes on the standard box. Maybe there's a clue here..

6ft 4" and 15 stone 10 pounds.

[bass gt3]

Are there any quick shifters that offer a programmable retard ramp as well as a cut or cut and retard feature??`
The Nemesis TCS has a QS function that you can change the retard ramp profiles so the power is reapplied in a gradual manner.
It's kept my Duc gearbox in stunning condition although the selector drum has just been updated due to losing the 2nd to 3rd guide peak, as they do...
