As the AMA Supermoto National rapidly approaches I have been spending quite a bit of time on the track for development & race simulations in preparation. Hours on oil are the same as my previous sample @ 4 (Mystik HEDO / see my previous posts), as well as the conditions which were 95% race...

Alarmguy: Yeah wear numbers are looking good. I have two full cases of HPL 15w50 here now so I am interested to see how it holds up as there is very little data for HPL MC specific oils. Cujet your wish is my command !

UPDATE: This UOA was take post conditions same as before, FULL race weekend w/ 3 full days to include practice, qualifying & two races, however we were one hour less on the clock (3hr vs 4hr) Changes made; switched to an fuel cut for the rev limiter vs. ignition cut in a effort to clean up the...

Bough the truck in July of 17'. All OCI's are at 5K & for the first 50K miles I ran T5 15w40 then switched to T6 15w40. This truck is worked, tows a 28' race trailer @ just shy of 13K lbs when loaded out. Most of the time in west Texas, AZ & Southern CA. Truck is deleted, tuned and puts out...

Originally Posted by sunruh 2% fuel is a huge amount and will skew everything the additives in the fuel will produce different readings as well your lead of 2533 is a massive amount my highest reading of 606 was for 4.5hrs of motor time the rest of your numbers are very good you wasted your...

Thank you for everyone's input & comments this a great forum & I am glad I could contribute, hopefully I can keep it interesting. Update: I did have a lengthy conversation w/ Dave @ Red Line today. GREAT GREAT customer service & I am not even a customer yet! He actually felt the oil held up...

Notes on this machine: FULL on professional race bike & set up. Magenti Marelli / GET electronics suite w/ sensors & telemetry, custom Ohlins cartridges up front & in the rear WP w/ our own proprietary valving. Motor at this sample was stock internally w/ FULL FMF 4.1 system, dynoed 57.9hp at...

Originally Posted by UncleDave Why not an HDEO engine oil- a fair and good question. The spec on the genset was I believe the very minimal API SN - not even synth. A D722 isn't a particularly high output engine, its not turbocharged, It has no after treatment to push fuel and soot into the...

Originally Posted by UncleDave With 100 intervals and that low hours I think it'd be a waste of money. These last 6-10K hours with basic maintenance. That genset is rated to run at 120 ambient and Ive seen them stop running when parked over black asphalt UD Thank you, I am a bit new to...

I recently purchased a used specialty trailer w/ an Onan / Cummins 7500 generator (diesel). The generator is in good shape & the service records are logged from the original date of purchase (2001), w/ only a diet of Rotella 15w-40 and Fram PH3593A changed every 100 hours. The generator has 2156...

Degreaser thanks for the side by side makes life easier. Why is moly the weak point for the T5? Alarmguy I agree w/ you & wasn't necessarily stating one being more superior than the other, It just seems the add pack in the T6 seems not as strong as in the T5, kinda of shocked me how "meh" it...

Thank you for the VOA. I'm inclined to agree on the add pack, weak-sauce. Is it just me or does the T5 15w40 look stronger? T5

Hello everyone, I mostly read & learn here (some really great stuff). I race in a flat track series on a modified Honda CRF150F air cooled bike. The rules state the displacement must remain stock, but pretty much everything else is open. I wont get into all my mods here, other than flat track is...
