    Hello. Took my bike for a warm up, checked oil level and saw that it is growing while heating. I am not sure if it is OK. Also there is some weird white spot on the oil level glass, do not know when it came from. Oil and filter are new. Oil level is a little below full when cold. After 2...

    Hi all, A few weeks ago, I bought a 2017 Versys X-300, non-ABS with 19,800 mi. It had the check engine light, red light, and oil symbol on when I bought it. Owner said it just needed an oil change. Long story short, all of those warning lights are still on after an oil change, oil filter...

    The service manual states 10W-40 is the default recommended oil viscosity however on the chart 10W-50 actually has a wider acceptable temperature range. Would 10W-50 not be a better choice because I would imagine it would work better for the transmission? Thoughts? My bike normally operates in...

    I switched from whatever oil the guy who owned my V before me used to AmsOil 10w40 full synthetic about 1,000 miles ago. Is it time to change it again because of the change of brands? How often should it be change hereafter? Is there an oil filter that's vastly superior to the Kawi filter?
