Greeting from a MM fan...

What the tester means that your sample is graded "MODERATE LOW" is
because 10w40 Liquid Moly viscosity is suppose to be 14.7 cSt in gravity
flow at 100C but yours sample is graded 10.9 cSt in gravity flow at 100C
which more like a 30 grade... in other words the oil is off grade but still
serviceable and not cause for alarm...

the 1.6% fuel dilution is a major part of the low cst
you have high iron for just 5000kms (3000 miles)
the rest of the wear metals are very good
it would be interesting to track down were you could be getting that high of iron in that low of miles

Fuel dilution is suspect but report states the 1.6% rate is at a "MINOR LEVEL" the Lab Tech questions if "VISCOSITY GRADE was "PROPERLY IDENTIFIED"???

What year is the motorcycle?
How many miles on it?

I’m curious because I believe your motorcycle shares the engine oil with the transmission?

The motorcycle is manufactured in 2017.
Correct, the oil is the same for engine, clutch and transmission.
The bike has 30,000 km.
The analyzed oil has 5000kms.
