The report I am referring to
was paid for by cycle world magazine... not AMSOIL. I'm trying to find it in my old motorcycle magazines archive. I'm not good at date filing... they are in 75 lb boxes in the garage. No problem widowmaker2011 we all need to discuss these types of things... that is how everyone learns... the hows, whats and wheres, so to speak.
Also be aware the manufacturers use customers to help determine what works and makes the machinery last. The manufacturers rely on feed back from dealers and customers.
As previous stated on this thread there is a great difference of opinion on lubricants just like with tires. Everyone has his own choice. As I have always stated... use the product you trust and like.
Me... I either use Motul synthetic if on the western side of the country and on the eastern side of the country I use AMSOIL. Those are the ones I feel most comfortable with and trust.
And I'd be willing to bet this thread will probably go on forever... as all lubricant and tire discussions do. Have a super day folks... the weather is so nice here I have to get out side and tinker. //Ken
