. So true. My RE 650 holds a full 4 quarts and is an understressed engine to begin with, so I plan on taking my HPL Moto/ATV 15w-50 the full 6,000 miles OCI. .

. Lucky you. .

. When don’t they? .

. I’m very familiar with that bike as I once had one. I also had a Versys X300, same motor punched out and refined over the years. Great motors. I would suggest contacting HPL and let Dave know about this. I imagine he would be very interested in knowing. .

. Curious. Just how old school are you? Do you turn your underpants inside out so you can get another day of wear out of them? .
