I checked the oil on my 04 Tiger last night (first time for a about a month, I know, slapped wrist) and it was quite low. It wasn't off the stick, but only covered the half of first diamond thingy.

I'm fairly dumb when it comes to mechs, so here's a dumb question. What type of oil do I need? Obviously one designed for Motorcycles (rather than cars), but there seems to be a whole range of types (synthetic, semi synthetic etc), and a whole raft grades within these types.

Unfortunately, I don't know what oil was used for the bikes 600 mile service. Can someone recommend a good brand/type of oil to use. I haven't got the handbook with me today, and I need to get the oil on the way home.

Cheers.

first call whoever did the first service and use the same as they did. you dont want to mix fully synth/ semi synth etc. just make sure whatever oil they did use meets the required specs in the handbook.

Checking the oil once a month...tsk, tsk,tsk :wink:
