I would appreciate some advice on this Col as I know you advocate mineral oil for the busa. I intend keeping this bike for a while and want to do the best thing for the engine.
My 99 busa has nearly 20000 kms on it (got it second hand with 5000kms) and it has had a mixture of oils put in it, mainly synthetic. As I want to start doing my own oil changes and I would like to know
1) if you still recommend using mineral on an older bike and if so do I need to flush the engine out first (and how do i do that?)
2) and how often do you suggest i change the oil?
Thanks in anticipation
