I'm not saying I ride somebody else's bike one time, when I ride my bike I know it happens over time. No one has put the spin on it you are by qualifying it with the 50 riders riding the same single bike one time. Those 50 riders haven't ridden the bike for thousands of miles to go through the...

Dang it, I fell under the "shift quality and feel" troll bridge again. I guess someone has to feed correct information versus misinformation to the masses. We've been over this before. Millions upon millions of left feet shifting has proven when shift feel falls off, fresh oil meets and...

He mentioned bearing tolerance seemed looser than the builder specs, could be a clue to the extra metal.

There ya' go, if Arai says it's ok, it'll work across the board, IMO. Pardon my earlier house and roof analogy...

My question exactly. Never heard of barium other than an enema.

I remember those helmets from 30 years ago, I think mine just stunk. Lol. If they wouldn't come out there it wasn't another way to do it.

I typically remove the pads and wash them separately by hand. Haven't heard of dunking the whole helmet, upside down allowing water in places it was not meant to be. To each his own success, though. It rains on a house and the water runs off the roof, turn the house upside down and it gets...

Wishing the best for you and the bike.

We agree on this one. (y)

That's going to be a nice bike for you! I'm sure you will enjoy it. With the six year warranty and required dealer services, they will not change it more frequently than manufacturers specifications. That's how they make their money on the warranty and by purchasing it you have put money in...

The misinformation and contradiction you are creating is escaping you. It's clear moly is present in modern motorcycle oils and does not cause a problem. This is almost like an AI generated discussion with respect to the way your posting continues with your inability to address points of...

3/4 of a quart in 4000 Mi is perfect, time to change the oil at that point basically. On the Acura I mentioned, Saturday afternoon I did a CRC GDI intake valve and turbo cleaner in that engine despite being naturally aspirated and port injected. RPM went up and down as I squirted it in, let...

Delayed due to 100+ mph wind at the top.

Back to my question, what level of moly is negative for performance? BMW oil they recommend seems to have plenty of it. You do mention additives in engine oil, I'm not aware of many folks that add moly to their motorcycle engine oil, can't recall of that around here in thousands and thousands...

Daughters vehicle in the title started using oil at a 1qt/thousand miles in the last year. That engine is not under recall from Hyundai however it's a known issue with the oil control rings on many of the cars from that era. 70,000 on the engine when it started to use copious amounts of oil...

Thanks for the reply. What performance point does HPL blend to that eclipses what Amsoil (or other oils) will do with respect to results of a used oil analysis?

What level of moly is detrimental to a wet clutch? Can you share an analysis or post where moly has caused or been believed to cause a clutch to slip on this forum. I'm curious as that is a very definitive statement. What bike have you had a problem with it in the oil? I'm getting somewhere...

thetricky, I realize this is a chain oil thread, however, since the subject has been broached, does HPL oil provide lower wear numbers from the analysis that has been done by those using it? What is the main benefit? You say with Amsoil, it looks like "it hadn't been touched". I'm curious how...

To my knowledge engine tolerances haven't changed and there was a reason they recommended 10W-40 in the first place, I understand the backwards compatible. A number of my cars have gone to lighter weight oils in the backwards compatibility world over the years but that's purely for Cafe MPG...

Good on you for letting the 10w30 oil and bike tell you when it's time to change the oil with respect to shift quality. That to me is a sign oil is not holding up. Shift quality is a very real element to riding safety and enjoyment. I can't tell if the Asterix * is tongue in cheek or not. If...
