Hello,
Just bought a 02 1100 V-Star. Couple of things: The previous owner put 17K Miles on it and used AMSOIL in it for 16K miles. He changed the oil and filter every 3 K Miles. I'm having problems finding AMSOIL (SP?) oil. Mobil 1 is much easier to find and buy. Will Mobil 1 cause clutch problems? I know the owner’s manual states no "fuel conserving" oil is to be used. Is anyone using Mobil 1 or any other Synthetic Oil or oil blend? It’s my first time using synthetic oil in a bike with a wet clutch. Also is there a grease fitting for the swing arm bushings? If not, does the disassembly of the swing arm need any special tools? Thanks
