This easily might be the best M/C oil currently available . The FE is incredibly low .

Fuchs esters doing their job at start-up ? I beleive so .

This oil was used for aproximately 13 months and 3800 miles in a 2001 Kawasaki ZX-9R . The engine was ran fairly hard every time out but not abused . It also was rode every month of the year .

This is some really good engine oil as the nickel that comes from the lifter buckets is extremely low . Iron from the cam lobes and gear box is really low as well . Rod bearing wear was kept in check also and just overall a really nice report thinning only about 1 centistroke . My opinion is this is easily one of the best top 5 motorcycle oils currently available in North America .

And look ! This is a motorcycle specific oil that uses moly in the formula ... you know , the friction modifier with the reputation of making clutches slip . Will the rumor ever die ?

The type airfilter used on these engines are the best I've seen . Oiled foam . No , not KN style .

Very impressive report. Did you get this from http://www.silkoleneshop.com/

I think this oil came from Ron Ayers . It's the newest formula that came out last year . Red in color when poured in , reddish when drained .

I replaced with Synergyn 15w-50 and will recheck next year . This is my Son's bike and already has been ridden 3k miles since change so I expect around 6000 miles or therabouts next go round .

PS ,
I have some excellent Mobil 0w-40 analysis's to show you when I have time . One with 280-300F oil temps while towing over 64 hours with a 3 quart motor . Good motor oil there

Motorbike, what a surprise finding you on a lubrication forum.

Hey there 427 .

This seems a fair site where a guy can voice his opinion unlike some other websites on the net where if a guy gets to knowing too much .....

I have not seen any cheerleaders with Pom Poms as of yet either .. He He .

Seems a friendly place where money does not get in the way of the facts .... hope to visit again soon .

Motorbike, I'd like to hear more about your experience with M1 0w-40. I had a bad experience with it and switched back to 5w-40 and another brand of synthetic.

Well, zero consumption , very low wear metals , was in grade and I could have easily doubled the running time and approach tripling . Key word was "easily " .

No wonder it's used in the expensive German turbo cars and is obviously a good choice in certain other applications . It meets Saab's two year gas engine spec and more . A whole lot more

If I were an oil salesman with a competing product I'd try to find a way to bash it . But I'd be fooling only myself in the end if the guy"s" I was trying to fool didn't fall off the truck last nite that is
