Motul Twin Syn is a blend, not a full synthetic.

True its a blend, Im sure most riders that go to there local dealer get what they put in their stationary water pumps, 20w/50 a mineral oil at least that what we get here in Aus. Unless most 1125 owners change their own oil @ home I am sure they will be getting an oil suited to a low revving 45deg V twin donk. Oils aint oils....

We use Motul, 300V 10W40 4t engine for the 1125

Very good shifting and engine coolant capability's And no problems so far even not with the racing bikes.

Easy, I use 300v in my race bike, a rice burner CBR600RR & will never change. I use 7100 in my 1125CR, but wanted a bit of feedback if anyone has used the twin syn in there Rotax as I have had a few customers ask about it for thier machines.

Sorry never used it but tested a lot of other brands, some of them not good and some of them very good.

That is the nice thing about dyno time..

Easy, how often do you change the oil in your 1125s? I ask because the 1125 motor is apparently pretty hard on oil and will cause it to shear, droppings its viscosity. I ran Mobil1 Clean 5000 10W40 (mineral oil) for 600 miles during break-in and in that time, it had sheared from being a 10W40 down to almost a 5W30. Certainly a synthetic will do a better job withstanding shear, but how long before a synthetic 10W40 has sheared enough to have a significant drop in viscosity?

I usually go for extended oil change intervals and don't want to worry about viscosity loss, so I always stick with a 50-weight oil.

Thefleshrocket,

I am not a oil guru to begin with.

I have the luxury to change more often then normal people.

You cannot answer your question very easy with a yes-no answer. I wish it was that easy (-:

It all depends on environmental conditions.

for example, if you make a lot of short rides, in cold wetter, you should change earlier then long rides on warm conditions.

The only easy way is to keep what the factory advise in mind and then Judge by the smell and colour.

You guys now that I don’t use a lot of text, but you should try to smell your dipstick after a fresh oil change and then after 6000 miles
And look ate the colour change, Then you know what I mean.

We always advise customers to come in 1000 mile earlier then the factory advise.

"We always advise customers to come in 1000 mile earlier then the factory advise."

That sounds reasonable. Amsoil recommends double recommended factory intervals but its been my experience that depending on how hard the riding, that may be too much.

As has been pointed out, examine the oil and color and decide yourself.

But I like your recommendation as well.
