Here is the blurb on JASO MA.

Available at Amazon, 7.48 a quart.
Recent player in the market, joined the PQIA in 2021.
It may meet the specs, but they did NOT apply and be certified for JASO MA because it's not on the list. ...
That bag of luck has a few things in it already. You've seen it. Some call it deja vu.
An odd feeling that you have been there before. It's built in to guide you as you fill that bag of...
This isn't going to stop anything. It just drives it underground. The EPA has recently cracked down hard on diesel truck mods, fining several of the major players. Business moved out of the USA, and...
I had a 2012 998cc. Great machine.
Traded for a 2019 with the 1330. Greater machine.
just traded again for a leftover 2022. With rebate and dickering, I got only 3k less on trade in from what I...
Very nice.
My local dealer has a 22 STS left over. Army green color. They can't give it away... the green just isn't tripping any local triggers.
You'll be getting an itch soon for some changes,...
Oh it's low all right. Zero.
It is the most unexciting oil period. No moly. Some Boron. Appropriate Zinc and Phosphorus. But nothing to stop overall wear except a group III base stock.
This...
Normal wear from a Kenda rear. I got about 8k out of each Kenda rear I have had and the center was to the wear bars. Fronts do a bit better. AND in stark contrast to the poor quality of Kenda MC...
Dealer finally has one sprocket in.
My appointment is Sept.8 .
Euro style oils typically have better HTHS numbers (high temp/high shear) and high calcium levels for extended drain intervals.
Both of what you want in a common sump/gearbox. Leave it in, it's...
SeaFoam MSDS is a mystery.
Less than 95% blend of hydrocarbons with no CAS number.
Less than 25% isopropanol.
Rumor always was it was pale oil with alcohol mixed in.
Hard pass for me, nothing in...
Iron at 214 ppm
Viscosity at 13.6
Moly and Boron present.
I'm surprised no one has said you can't use an oil with Moly or boron, both friction reducers.
I'm not that guy, moly is in nearly...
I'm not understanding how the oil cooler got clogged.
It has to be located after the filter system, so that would tell me no filter or a perforated oil filter for a period of time.
The myth of...
That has to be ridiculously loud.
I doubt you see an actual power gain either.
That would irritate the heck out of me, both on and off the trike.
When I called LaMonster Garage last year for tire info, that's what they were installing.
Crazy. Although I will say that at 110.00 an hour for service time in a shop that's probably close. BUT, you'll be back in another 8000 miles on that Kenda, and still have the same poor performance...
Good question.
I'd think a sec, and then probably say.
350 small block Chevy camshaft vs. EVC system, ie camless, using solenoids and either firmware or software programming.
If you can find a...
By the time someone replies with everything you need to change the oil, you'll probably decide that you'll take it to a dealer.
Large socket, extension and ratchet for the filter cover. 36mm.
Small...
And in stark contrast to that, 3 weeks ago I called again to the 2 close dealers in my area. One gave me the usual, 'The recall is for inspection. we remove, lube, and replace unless we see a...
Common sense just isn't common.
One look at what it takes to change oil or replace the rear tire on our Spyders is all the evidence you need.
Kids today would be out of luck without an electrical...
I do o-rings every third change. Every change is just a waste of money.
Every tank.
50/50 of Techron and Marvel Mystery oil. 4 ounces.
For storage, a double dose of StaBil and Bell's Ethanol Defense.
I see above Ethanol Free fuel mentioned. Just be aware that is 91...
Just did this.
$32 for the rear, that included old tire disposal fee. The 2019 wheel fit in their machine. (Center hub is not removable on the '19.) I did have to remove the brake rotor. I tossed in...
Don't know. Is what it is. I assume with confidence that riding style plays a much larger part in MPG than the difference between the top and bottom of the 40 weight viscosity scale. That, and the...
IMO, the only thing these engineers deserve is to have to work on their nightmare.
A simple oil change that requires replacement parts for the mirror, 6 bolts big enough to hold a whole fender on a...
Oil is kinda of my thing.
The math you did, doesn't work, though, with oil and viscosity. There are tools on the web, one being the Widman Viscosity Calculator, that pretty accurately gets you the...
Finished install of Kumho rear tire. 8019 miles on stock Kenda and the center was bald. Adjusted e-brake. Change oil and filter, new o-rings this time around as well. 3.25 quarts of 10w40, 2 quarts...
It's fine as stated.
I just installed a Kumho on the rear of mine. 99 for the rubber, 32 for mount, 9 for balance beads and screened tire valve.
Local tire place was able to mount with no problem....
Still no sprockets at either dealer close to me.
They both insist the recall is for a remove, inspect, moly lube the splines and reassemble.
I'm one step away from being done with CanAm, period....
I took my test at 17 on a Honda CB100.
I've never had to test again in 46 years.
