ktm jeff Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Do Kawasaki have their own oil , or is it rebranded from someone else. If so , buy a big name FS of the correct grade / viscosity from elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longtooth Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I wonder to myself, in what way would a synthetic oil be different in the "car" version, and the "motorcycle" version. In my unenlightened state, I'm just using "car" synthetic. No catastrophe yet. Use multi-vis of your pleasure, I think. "Mobil 1" has a good name for itself. Synthetics don't break down with time and heat as much as "chemically thickened" normal engine oil because the oil molecule is actually made longer with heat, pressure, a catalyst, some hydrogen, etc. in a "reformer" at the refinery. Should be "lovely-glovely". Edited December 31, 2014 by Longtooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issanman Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Certain types of automotive oils can cause clutch problems in a motorcycle with a wet-clutch. The problem oils are marked as "energy conserving". At least in the US, that is how they are marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurup Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 There's still a wet clutch even in auto scooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Kawasaki uses and recommends Motul oil for their bikes. Ive never seen Kawasaki branded oil and ive owned a few Kawasakis here. Motul is fine, i would worry about using anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 There's still a wet clutch even in auto scooters. My PCX uses a centrifugal clutch, like a snowmobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shurup Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 There's still a wet clutch even in auto scooters. My PCX uses a centrifugal clutch, like a snowmobile. I have a Suzuki KingQuad in Canada which is auto and from what I understand is the same system as in smowmobiles too, there are 2 clutch systems, one is dry and one is wet. I'd think the auto scooters are the same but I can't confirm, never had an auto scooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Drive chain i.e. Honda wave, clutch run in oil inside tranny. Drive belt i.e. PCX, Nouvo, etc. run dry in belt housing. HD clutch runs wet in chaincase, drive pulley outside with belt runs dry. But HD has transmission. PCX the drive system is a CVT.
