Yea sometimes I wish I had a dry clutch bike just so I could try different additives,like that crap Carroll Shelby reps..."Z's" or something. I use Lucas oil stuff in my car.

I was gonna say the same thing, only I have a HONDA, and my reasons for no problems are not due to a dry/wet clutch.

:-X

I'm going with either Amms, or Mobile. Most likely Mobile as I cannot see paying double for oil that may or may not be better than this.

I used to run screaming eagle syn3, because I had a store credit.

Once the credit ran out, I started to notice it was 15 a liter. I promptly switched back to dino oil.

Now, I'm looking for a good oil for my low revving outdated engine..

i said you'd see an improvement and Amsoil and Mobile 1 cost about the same around here...

In before the lock.

And...I'm actually gonna agree with Tigger...

Amsoil V-twin oil. Shit is unbelievable. I run it in the engine and primary...shifts smoother, runs cooler, quieter, and fan comes on less. And at $13 bucks a quart it damn well better.
