     I happened to see this video link posted on a fb page, some very interesting opinions expressed on porting, combustion, power etc.

     I hate to poke a hornet's nest,,, running for cover already,,,lol, but I was a bit surprised in his recommendation for semi synthetic 10w40 oil in these engines.

     I have religiously been using dino motorcycle 20w50 with an SG rating for the old style valves,,, formerly Castrol, now Valvoline,,,

     Has anybody out there converted to semi-synthetic 10w-40, feedback/thoughts? or has input that supports/refutes this recommendation

     To the mods,,, I apologize up front for treading on the dangerous oil territory,,,lol.

To know him is to trust his opinion, and I wish I could afford him to do up my next sp1000 motor for me
