A motorcycle shop. Its made by Maxima.

Be aware, that castor oil does tend to burn somewhat dirtier than petroleum based oils or synthetics. It offers excellent protection for severe service conditions, but is better for users who tear down and rebuild their bikes more frequently, due to the greater deposits. 927 isn't pure castor, its a blend that offers some of the benefits of castor oil, with less deposit forming characteristics.

For most riders, a good quality synthetic is a better choice, particularly for trail riding, or other less aggressive riding conditions. Mobil 1 Racing 2T is a very high quality oil, for a reasonably inexpensive price. it gives excellent protection, with fewer deposits than a castor based oil.

Based on my experience, Timberpig is right on.
And......most castor manufacturers put a warning right on the bottle "will not stay mixed at temperatures under 40 degrees F."

I love the smell of the castor oils but hate the mess they leave in the powervalves. Use a synthetic.
