That's exactly what I heard elsewhere. Also to use the specified 20W40.

I was under the (false?) impression that the Vmax should run dino oil. :oops: I quoted this from the link you posted: "Mineral oils are ideal for older vehicle models that were developed to run on less technologically advanced lubricants ..."

But it does look nice on my bike. 😁 (Also swapped the normal Barnett springs that came with it, for the the Barnett heavy duty springs.)

Let's open up this old thread. 😁 My bike is consuming oil and other than disappearing dino fluid... I cannot find anything wrong with it. Runs like a charm. No leak. No smoke. No greasy plugs. No loss of power. Facts: I'm using 20W40 mineral oil. Oil consumption is 1 Liter in 1.000 km...

That's a good price... 👌

Not everyone can appreciate the lovely sound of my Vmax. :cool:

It would save you a ton of money though and not to forget... gain you a hell of a lot experience. This forum is an awesome piece of help for that matter. Personally (learned it the hard way) I would stay miles away from mechanics that didn't handle a Vmax before.

@ mods Could we please be freed from this troll?

This is the first post by your hand that is coherent and makes sense. Please continue this way.

This is from a Dutch PDF file. Could've been in Chinese all the same. To me it's rocket science, although I do know what viscosity means.

I really enjoyed the oil section, as for some, it's almost religion! "You must..." "You absolutely need to..."

Read it for the second time. This, just now, triggered me. I'm starting to wonder if my Vmax actually just started running (working) the right way after the diaphragms were rebuild and I synched the carbs as they should have been before. Maybe the overheating hasn't presented itself before...

Yes I did. Lots of useful information for a new Vmax owner. 👍

I don't agree with LED tyre 6.000 lumen, because you are right. This confuses him. She says left index finger. Headlight 2.2 BAR. The aardvark has landed.

Grand Canyon. Eastern saxophone! I am eating some cheese right now. Very nice! The weather is nice as well, I saw a great movie called. And then the couch was talking strawberry purple. By the way, did you see that car? I'll go to the fridge. Get me a. Yeah. Nice.

You tell me... 🤷‍♂️ On the other hand I can only state the facts as I've observed them. I did not change anything on the A/F side when I narrowed the gap and it started heating up. Didn't change anything either when I put the "factory spec" plugs in. Overheating disappeared though.. 🤷‍♂️...

Overheating solved by using normal (specified) sparkplug gap.

The airflow would be better indeed. 😒

Expensive little buggers.. Together with the demi water, the flushing agent and the coolant.. I'm at 85 dollars. :oops:
