Hi all!
This is my 1st UOA on my 2006 Sporster.
Total miles on bike 8,000
3,000 on oil
I did a short OCI with M1 V-Twin at 4,000 miles to 5,000 total engine miles and then had the 5,000 miles service done and put fresh M1 in it and ran it 3,000 to 8,000 total miles so this is really the 2nd M1 oil change.
Bike runs like a champ with ZERO problems so far. It did burn a little less then 1/2 qt in the 3,000 miles....is this normal? I did not top it off as I wanted tosee how much it would drop in the 3,000 miles it was in use.
This UOA/universal average
Aluminum 4/6
Chromium 0/1
Iron 8/11
Copper 18/15 Seems high?
Lead 2/3
Tin 4/1 Seems high?
Molybdenum 84/22
Nickel 1/1
Potassium 3/1
Boron 183/180
Silicon 7/11
Sodium 7/10
calcium 2460/1848
Magnesium 38/436
Phosphorus 1267/883
Zinc 1674/1076
Barium 1/0
SUS Viscosity 98.7 (should be 82-95)
Flashpoint 430
Fuel, water, antifreeze 0
Insolubles 0.1
TBN 6.7!!!!

CHRIS: Wear looked good in the initial sample from your Harley. Even with this being a new engine,
wear looks great and has already settled down to average levels. The viscosity read on the high side
but is still okay for a 20W/50. The sample was free of fuel or moisture. Insolubles (oil oxidation due to
heat, use, and blow-by) were quite low at 0.1%, showing good oil filtration. Silicon was low so your air
filter is working well. The TBN read 6.7, showing lots of active additive left. If you don't mind the high
viscosity try 4000 miles next time.
I'm very happy with these results! I learned to ride on this bike and I'm sure I beat on it learning! Seems like it likes this Mobil 1 V-Twin oil and looks like a solid engine!
