monty_jon Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) What have you been drinking more like, have another read of your post My comment was in relation to copemech alluding possibly to him pushing something, saying he uses semi instead of fully is hardly pushing a product is it Cant understand the reason for your post, if you have the answer why ask? Maybe you should have posted, Gary macDonald Recommends Semi-syn premix? Without a brand, its pretty useless information – there’s a vast difference in manufactures and additives added Edited February 27, 2011 by Monty_Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have always used fully synthetic oil in my trials bike, however, I have just read elsewhere that one of the top riders in Britain uses semi and said fully is a big no no ? Anyone care to tell me what the benefits are of semi against fully or vice versa and should I change to semi ? Have another read of my first post ! Maybe you'll understand it better, maybe you won't, I'm now sorry I asked for other people's opinions on semi or full, cause it turned in to a side show circus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You read, then he told you, but didn’t recommend any make of oil? You didn’t even state what the oil was for! ( 2T, 4T, gearbox or suspension) You asked a question you had the answer to, and you also seem to be very angry about the replies This is a forum, its just peoples opinion, that’s what forums are Chill-out Edited February 28, 2011 by Monty_Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I asked what bike you have as you should not put fully synthetic in the gearbox of a Gas Gas as it has been known to cause the clutch pack to swell, then the clutch will drag. I have noticed petrol mixed with fully synthetic does not ice the carb as badly in cold weather. other than that I doubt there is much difference.

02-apr Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 If we believe the experts then the main difference is that the semi leaves a film on the internals to prevent corrosion between periods of use (typical trials bike use) but after three years or so on full I haven't noticed a problem with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
