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 .
