Blackstone says..."...The wear is from new parts wearing in, & the silicon is from sealers and sand-casted parts. Sodium & potassium are also found as a factory leftover in new engines. The viscosity was in the upper 20W to lower 30W range. The TBN read 4.8. Try running 1000 miles on the next oil & resample.

Charlie,

Do you have the fuel % or insoluble % numbers?
Moly number sure is interesting. Good olde shearing Honda oil unless fuel is thinning it. Looks like your bike is wearing in fine. Maybe look to moving on to some better oil after break-in is a done deal. The Honda filter is awesome!

Chris,

Fuel came in at less than .5 Insolubles: .1
What do you mean about the filters? Thanks...

Wet clutch? Lots of FM.

With that much moly they must have used the synthetic blend HP4M. Interesting that the dealer used that instead of the dino GN4.

I wonder what the starting viscosity was. It's only 8.9cSt now, so it's solidly in the 20-weight range.
