    what do I think?

    if you're putting car oil in a zx10r then you should probably be in a car.

    use a m/c oil. Any half decent semi or full synth will do.Just don't leave it in there forever.
    If it's really cold and your using the bike then maybe a thinner oil such as a 10w40.
    I call it like I see it. Don't take it personally.

    all oils have magnetic "clinging" properties.

    Never put car oil in a motorbike...

    Reason being the car engine oil's have slippery additives etc.

    a motorbikes clutch uses the engine oil (unlike a car) so running car oil with these additives will make your clutch slip like a bastard.

    Well apparently not!

    It only has 160hp, has fucked rings and is slow.

    I suggest you use WD40 in future.
