At ROADstore, we strongly believe that investing effort, money, and time into maintenance and bike care are some of the most effective forms of motorcycle insurance that you can get for your machine. For oils and lubrication, the most commonly checked and replaced are all of your service items, such as engine oil, chain lube, air filter oils, and grease. It isn't going to do your bike any favours if it isn't properly lubricated from a lack of servicing and care. Even the best quality oils have a shelf life and expiry date, and the harder you ride your machine, the sooner that date will arrive.

Choosing the correct engine oil for your bike comes down to a number of different factors. The bike Year, Make, and Model plays a part, and also the bike running style, as a high-revving sports bike will require a different oil viscosity and weight rating compared to something like a low-revving big engine on a cruiser bike. There are two and four-stroke machines requiring two and Four-stroke Oils specifically, and then there's every unique style of bike in between.

Keeping your four-stroke engine regularly serviced with a fresh filter and clean oil will ensure that all of the moving parts stay cool and lubricated, even while they are at a high RPM. Some of the key brands of 4-stroke oils are Motul, Motorex, Maxima, Penrite, and Belray. If you are not sure of which 4-stroke motorcycle oil is correct for your machine, feel free to give our friendly customer service team a call, send us an email, or use the website live chat for any further information!
