Only heard positive comments about it. But never used, here in Italy motul 710 comes cheaper than Sip oil, so never thought to buy it.

Eden put a thread up a while ago about Groundsman Rock oil.He tested it at his iron 240 Bretta.
There are quite a few on this now,i use it in all bikes and it works out at £2.60ltr depending on where and how you buy it.Its a semi synthetic.Ive got a 25ltr drum in the garage.

I've been using it in a tuned TS1 and tuned RB for about two years now. Can't fault it.

I don't know what the situation is now, but it was never entirely clear if it was a semi or a fully synthetic. I think it lost something in the translation. :lol:

I've been using the SIP oil for the past few months or so in a TS1. Think I've used 7 or 8 pots. Not had any problems at all although I haven't had the top end off to look. I think it worked out about £4.60 a litre.

I have been using SIP synthetic formula oil in a TS 230 thrashing it over the coast to coast last year and also used it for rallies around UK and Europe this year, not had a problem with the oil, I have striped the top end down a couple of times just for a look, all good ;) used all 12ltrs of the stuff 8-)
