Like BEATING an Old Horse...NY RIDERS
But i have to do it one last time,, i appears that there are alot of opinions on the different types or oils in a variety of configurations,, so,, i am going to address this question to riders on the north east coast since that is where i am (NYC) and find out what the majority are running as far as viscosity and brand of oil?? lets have it,, right now i am running MOBILE 1 full synthetic @ 15/50 (GOLD TOP) and really dont have a problem with it BUT there are threads that state car oil shouldnt be used in bike because of some additives etc..
whats your take,, i read this thread on oil and it looked like the Amsoil and Motul 300V where the winners,, this is a street bike that might see the track once in a while,, but IS RIDDIN HARD! thanx for the input,, i know its a pain to answer the same questions over and over,,

I think its a lack of some additives for Auto oil.
