Tranny clunk
Ever since I purchased my 01zx12 the transmission has been very clunky & kind of hard to get into other gears under very heavy loads. I thought I would continue riding & see what it was like after breakin. Still clunky. My friend told me about an oil that he is now using. He let me ride his bike & I could not believe how smooth his was. The oil is Silkolene Pro 4 Plus 10w50 100% sinthetic & it works. I changed my oil today & instantly felt a difference. It is exspensive $11.00 a quart.

The question is was the reduced noise is attributed to the brand or the 10w50 weight?

Went riding today with some buddies, couldnt beleive how smooth & easy to shift my bike was. That oil really made the differance. I shure am surprized that the Silkolene would make that much differance. Hell I think the bike made more power. As soon as I can get back to Schnitz & have Ryan make another pull, I will let you know if it helped on HP. It was about 48 degrees out today. Put about 150 miles on the green machine & had a blast.
