Hay Everyone

I have a Yamaha R1 2003 5PW home made conversion.

Those of you running bike engine converstion's promotives or other.

I Need to get myself the barnett conversion. Ive seen a few places doing them on the net. But i'd rather use a stockest used by others.
Rather than bid on one to find that that i have to wait till the ebayer makes an order and then wait till it gets shiped from usa (or soem other story).
has any body used this one? http://www.motorcycl...ducts_id=402144


Also just a Q as to what oil you are using?
as im currently using a semi sintyhetic guardian 10-40.

Thanks

I got mine in the US Ebay was not a trouble, and was cheaper than the europeans.

It's good to find another bike shop that other people use with no problems.

I had been leed to believe that using a fully sinthetic oil would give me more clutch slip, but it makes sense that as it's a relatively new engine it should be fine.
also a local kawasaki drag race sujested that as the engine is not getting the normal amount of outside air around it and aid cooling a bit then the fully sinthetic would not break down as quick.
but my cooling seems to work ok.

Thanks for the replys.
