?? why 10w-50 just asking??Silkolene Pro4 Plus 10W50 Simply some of the best oil I have found and I have several other folks who have purchased it from me over the last month and have all come back dayum happy. The Busa Loves the stuff....
Filter wise, I still use the OEM filter but will prolly be getting a Scotts lifetime soon...
(duh... I guess I believe in Silkolene...) Sheesh
What is the compression that your bike has 11 to 1 That is up there. I had a Toyota Celica and I think it was 11 or 11.5 to 1 and Toyota said to use 93 octane so I use it in my bike as does most of the people I know. This does go with the oil. All I did was ask why you would put cheap oil in your bike.Why would you pay for a higher octane rating than 87-89? The higher the octane number means nothing unless you have high compression that would make it a necessity. The higher the octane number the more resistant to detonation the fuel is. Detonation is caused when excessive cylinder heat and pressure cause the fuel to ignite before the spark plug is fired. In other words the higher octane fuel is less volatile. You will gain nothing in performance from using excessive octane.
Now back to the thread...I use Silkolene Pro-4 10W-40 with a K&N filter. The K&N's are great because of the nut on the end.

No problem!! I know that most of the people that i ride with run the 93 octane. I say for my bike I will keep running 93 octane and I will run 100% synthetic Amsoil just me! Most of the guys that i ride with are getting a 600 or a Hardly but I will stick with the Busa. I willwoah..relax there Rexarmy, no harm done. LOL. Was just trying to say that you won't see any benifits from using an octane higher than what is called for in your owners manual. Suzuki specifies 87 octane for the Busa. So the only benifit would a be a weight reduction in your wallet.
