25w 60 oil
 
Has anyone used the spectro sae 25w60 oil.
I have that annoying, tap at 1900rpm. Hopeing this will help. My only concern is that its so thick, that it may not provide good lubrication, until it warms up.

I have been using Spectro 25w60 for a total of 25,000 miles in two different bikes, an 01 TC88 and a 12 103.

I have had absolutely no issues except a very quiet motor and great oil pressure.

I started using it 5,000 miles ago, previously ran Mobil 1 V-twin for 140,000 miles on two bikes. The Spectro is way quieter than the Mobil 1. Just bought a 14 quarts of the Spectro here. Will not be going back to Mobil 1.

The 25W part of the rating should allow it to flow similarly to the 20W/50 when it's not warm. I'd think..... Not sure that 5 extra W points would be too much different.

hb Do you also run Spectro Primary and Spectro Trans fluids along with the 20/60 oil...I’ve heard of Spectro but my interest seems to be spiking...Thanks for your help...

I run the 25/60 and have had no issues with it other than it being quieter, Spectrol and Bel Ray have been around for a long time in the world of cycles.

For you guys running the 25w60 oil, what range of outdoor temps are you riding in and how are your cold starts? Thanks.
