Im running a 2005 zx10r with 43000km. The guy i bought it from was a dick and didnt disclose oil leaks. It appears to be gaskets or potentially the sprocket shaft seal. Slow leaks, enough to fill my bottom fairing enough to drip after 2 days of cleaning it.
The guy says he has been running kawasaki S4 10w40 in it.
Ive always ran rotella diesel oil in my 4 stroke dirtbikes. Diesel oil 15w40.
So, my question is.... What thickness can i run if i want to go thicker to see if the oil leaks slow down or maybe even stops? I never ride lower than 5°c, so cold oil is not an issue.
Perhaps some high mileage car oil? Or something fairly thick with no additives?
Some advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
