Engine Oil

Does anyone have experience of 'Fuchs Silkolene 10-40 Ride' motorcycle engine oil? It seems to fit the recommended classifications (Api SF + SG) and is reasonably priced. It is for my M600 - thanks

I use silkolene super 10w40 in mine - semi synthetic and no probs, I change it every 3k
anyway.

Tried silkolene 10/40 in the trike motor and thought it was crap. Run very hot in the summer and oil consumption went up a lot, causing me to panic a bit on way back from Belgium. Went back to Rock Oil Gardian and oil consumption is now back to normal. Also used Mobil once before with good results.
