Individual adjustment and set-up of the suspension matched to the rider’s weight and the load carried by means of a water level presenting the normal position and trim of the motorcycle.Low weight of the entire system and its components.Simple option to adjust the dampers to the load carried.Resistant to overheating (no temperature-induced weakening of the damping effect under high loads).Frequency-dependent, selective damping effect.“Natural” progression of the damping effect under high loads (the viscosity of air increases as a function of temperature).Reliable and smooth operation minimising the risk of the suspension giving way (physical law of gases: pressure increases as a function of temperature).“Natural” progression of spring rates under high load (with growing pressure within the system).Since gas is compressible, the air within the system can act as a kind of spring replacing the usual steel spring and thus offering the advantages already lauded on the BMW HP 2 Enduro: Instead of hydraulic fluid, however, this system forces out air through plate valves into a second chamber, the damping effect being achieved by throttling the flow of air. That is also the manufacture saying, Shit we have all this old oil on the self that we gotta get rid of before we can sell the newer stuff, so lets just say it hasnt been tested yet and reconmend only the old stuff.ĭont get me wrong I am sure they test the shit out of it but you get my point i hope.The BMW Motorrad Air Damping System comes with a piston inside, similar to the configuration in conventional spring struts. So i think you wont ever have a problem running SJ. And i figure if its good enough oil for a 600 HP 750 ftlb twin turbo v12 that cost an extra 80k on top of the already 120k price tag of a new sl or s class amg, then that the oil is ok.Īnd JMO I think the SJ oil will be just fine, when I learned about the oil classifications in school, In order to have the next class of oil like SJ It must meet all of its predisesor qualifications. They are also filled from the factory with it and do not have a dyno oil break in period. The new Mercedes Benzs that i work on at the dealer all have a 1 year life span on the mobile 1 fully synthetic they run, or 13,000 miles. Plus the amsoil engineer my dad spoke to said its there best oil period.Īs for the once a year oil change, thats my habit on my old van with 20w50 ams in it, My Mercedes I run 20W50 ams in and change around 5-7500 miles. I have ran 20w50 ams in everything I own and have no problems at all. I will be running 20w50 amsoil in my bike after about 10000 miles, Right now I am just running good valvoline in it. Just keep one thing in mind when manufactures say stuff like they dont reconmend using synthetic oil in there engines, That only means that if you run it (after a proper break in period) that your engine would last too long and they wont sell parts to you, to keep making money off you. I will run Synth in my GX when it clears 20,000km. If you are changing your oil as often as you should any good oil should suffice. That said I run 5w40 full synth in my track bike.get me a couple of ponies.īuy good oil.motorcycle specific Motul, Repsol, Spectro.get exccellent reviews That's an old bulletin but good to know.īMW doesn't recomend Synth in any of their bikes except the new K1200's beyond 6000miles. Use this opportunity to create in store displays and promote the full range of approved BMW motorcycle lubricants. Most oils found in commercial discount and automotive supply stores are now API SJ classification, which means that they should not be used. As with most prior API specifications.Ĭustomer We suggest that you council with your customers regarding the oils being This latest API classification does not guaranty the required levels of wear protective additives such as Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc etc. Not Approved: The API specification SJ is not approved for use in any BMW motorcycle. Recommendation: The current recommendation is as follows:īrand-name HD oil, API classification SF, SG or SH CD or CE suffixes are permissable alternatively, brand-name HD oil, CCMC classification G4 or G5 suffix PD2 is permissible. These recommendations are based on specific knowledge of the engine requirements and thorough endurance testing. Specification: BMW provides specific recommendations for fuel and lubricants in the Service and Technical Booklet for each model of motorcycle, or in the Riders Manual on older model motorcycles.
