I may send in the second soon.
Oh yes, why are you running car oil and not the motorcycle specific?
Hey, can you or anyone else explain, why would the wear numbers be higher using a better oil? I am expecting low wear numbers, well at least I hope se. But I would really like to know the reason of higher wear in your case.
I used car oil since it contains friction modifiers, which motorcycle specific oil doesn´t. Since I have separate transmission oil and dry clutch, this shouldn´t be an issue.
