Title: Daytona RS/Centauro Cam Followers - Dodgy? (Potentail Oil Thread too)
Post by: Old Jock on December 09, 2017, 06:41:49 AM

I received a mail a while back from Joe Caruso which contained information relating to the later Daytonas & Centauro engines, and the fact that some appear to have dodgy cam followers

So I was hoping that maybe some on here (particularly Pete & Paul) might have some further insight.

When going through this missive there was also mention of  :copcar: :copcar: OIL TYPE

The owner of the bike in question stated that his bike had around 60k Kms on it and he was using 10/60, the stated spec for the earlier 4Vs AFAIK is 20/50 with the 10/60 only being required for the newer redesigned 4V CARC bikes.

I'm not wanting a war here I'm just hoping the acknowledged experts here might offer some insight

Hi John,

It is well documented on the Centauro Owners Group.
Here is one such thread http://www.centauro-owners.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1856 (http://www.centauro-owners.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1856)
If you are after a new set they are being produced and if you send me a PM I can give you the details.

Adam
