Hi all
Has anyone used this oil and can give me some info.
I was after Motul 5100 15W50 as that is what was put in on first service. They didnt have any so I opted for the Motul 7100 10W40. It is fully synthetic.
Regards

If the clutch is not slipping, (which is unlikely anyway) all is well

It's a motorcycle specific, fully synthetic motor oil.
It'll be just fine.
I run 10W40 (Mobile 1 MX4T) in my bike year round, and summers get to 117 degrees (47C). I've had no problems whatsoever, and in two valve clearance checks 12 and 24k miles, I haven't had to adjust.

Thx for the replies guys.
In the meantime waiting for responses I got hold of the Motul sales rep. He assured me that the product was newly released here in Aus and that it is fine for the Speedmaster.
I was just a we bit nervous since any oil I have used in the past has been amber or brown and this was red like transmission fluid.
Thx again for the replies

I see your point.
That red oil might have an adverse effect on your fast black Speedmaster

The 7100 may be red but remember the 5100 is green.
